A Cold and Rainy Afternoon..

I think they have the right idea!

Pet Ghost

In the spirit of Halloween, I wanted to share with you a recent photo that was taken from my parents house...

See the extra set of pet eyes??

I think its the spirit of our long time dog Penny who we had to put down a couple years ago.

The Boyfriend Has A Blog!

Hey Everyone! I am very excited to introduce my boyfriends new blog - "Ram's on Sports."  Ryan and I are so excited for his new sports blog that I'm sure everyone is going to love. Ry literally eats, breathes, and sleeps sports, so this is going to be an amazing opportunity for him. Please stop by and say hello!

Congrats Ry! :D

Furry Friends Friday! Meet Bonnie the Black Lab

Last Friday's boxer I featured, Bianca, has been adopted!! Woo hoo!

Today, please meet

Bonnie!

Bonnie is a complete lovebug! Unfortunately, and through no fault of her own, this is her second time at the shelter and she would love to find her forever home soon. She is very stoic and has done a wonderful job of trying to deal with the shelter life, but would be the first one to tell you she is very anxious to find better living quarters as fast as possible!!!!! Bonnie loves spending time with people and is incredibly sweet, very lovable, and somewhat easy to walk. She would love to have a running partner!! She is also housebroken, and would make such a loyal and wonderful companion. She also loves treats and will sit in an instant if you gave her one. Since she is so treat motivated, she is an easy one to train and listens extremely well. She is waiting for that perfect person to come along as the shelter life is just no fun! Bonnie would do best as the only dog in the household.

like mother, like...dog?

Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm pretty obsessed with my Jack Russell, Izzy.  Izzy is four and I've had her since she was about two months old.  Shes been the most loyal friend I've ever had and really is like my child.  We have both literally grown up together, learned life lessons, and gone through hardships. 

Izzy is quite stubborn at times.  Sometimes when shes doing something "bad" I have to tell her five times to stop before she will actually listen to me.  This made me think about the similarities between Izzy's personality and my own. (Haha)  Sometimes I think she got her personality from me.  We are both outgoing but guarded. We are clumsy, energetic, and love to have fun and play.  We both love to spend time outside, exercise, and snuggle.  We are also both very stubborn, and will do something even when people say we shouldn't or can't.  Most importantly, we both have huge hearts.

I've heard that dogs and owners sometimes look similar (which is not really the case with me and Iz) but I haven't really read anything about dogs and their owners having the same personality characteristics.  Although, when I started to think about it, I seem to be finding it true in cases other than myself and Izzy.  My boyfriend and his dog act very similarly, (very sweet and laid back) and my brother and our blonde lab Sarge have some of the same personality characteristics as well. (Not liking change)

Hmm.. any thoughts?

Just for fun, here are some pics I found of owners and their dogs that really do look alike :)  I wonder how their personalities match up?

(This one is too cute!)
