Miss Oreo and Casanova share a doggy bed during our Goodbye Party for Jack and Jill. They looked on as the whole family laughed and cried our way through the evening.
Heehee.. no.. our Cassie was a rescue from Oklahoma.. he was found running the interstate. We adopted him when he was 11 months old and had a friend transport him here to CO. He's a wild man.. far from AKC anything. A darling love bug, though.. and totally lives up to his name. :o)
He gets along with the 6 other dogs.. and Miss Oreo is his girlfriend.
An ongoing tale of our most excellent (and terrifying) adventure yet.. adoption via foster care. This is a journey Darling Husband and I started with Nantie ("Nanny-Auntie" - a blessing from above) in 2007. Although she moved in 2010, we miss her dearly and so appreciate all she did while here.
We also have a herd of rescued canines, fear the Lord and laugh a lot.
August, 2011: Seven amazing placements and a week after we were told LittleBuddy and SweetPea were available for us to adopt, my husband passed away unexpectedly.
April, 2012: I had the honor of adopting my darling 7 year old son (Little Buddy) and 3 1/2 year old sister (SweetPea). I awoke the following day a 40something, widowed single mommy... and couldn't of been happier.
In 1999, a year after my own mother passed away I found out I, myself, was an adopted county baby. Life has some ironic twists but we all seem to come Full Circle
This is our story.

Great pics:)
I bet the whole house feels empty, even as your hearts fill full (and a little empty).
P.S. Casanova is so HANDSOME!
Beautiful dogs!
Was Casanova just recently in a dog competition? I just saw one this weekend on ESPN, a Doberman Pincer (sp?) named Casanova won in the pole contest.
