what breed of dogs?

They are both Shi Tzu. Clover and Fred are our 3rd and 4th of the breed. We lost Cleo (left) 4 years ago and Oliver (right) 3 years ago.

45 degrees and rainy outside.  Jackson and Savannah have the right idea!

This was from about a month ago when Maci was six months old.

Ya gotta love stick playing dogs!

apparently she had a challenge getting the stick thru the doggy door while holding it in her mouth like that

I have no pets, but thought this was a funny picture.

Our new addition, boy oh boy has he taken over our hearts !!!!  Can you see him now

Well dang.
We just added to our family by rescuing a Dutch Shepherd.
So happy to have been fortunate enough to bring her home for Christmas.
Her name was Venus, we opted to change it to Vala, supposedly it is German origin with the meaning of “singled out”.
We wanted to keep V in the picture and since we looked far and wide for a new companion, singled out seems to fit.
Anyway here is a quick picture of her, she is still settling in.
I was able to grab another picture while she is resting. Some people are vehemently opposed to animals on the furniture, this couch seats anyone.
This will better show her colors.

I love her color!

I have a pigeon.
The dang thing has taken up residence on our roof. 

Last July we lost Sadie, our faithful companion of 13 years. We thought we were not going to get another dog. However, I never realized how empty the house was without her.

Last week we brought this "little" friend home. Her name is Ilsa, bonus points if anyone can guess where the name came from (think classic movies).

She was so small she was able to walk through the fence we put up. We added some animal netting around the fence, but there was still a wide gap at the gate. I decided to repurpose a couple of grill grates with a few zip ties and it seems to have done the trick. I hope she gets a little bigger before I need the cold smoker again!

Does Ilsa enjoy going to Rick's Cafe and listening to Sam sing?

My guess is that Ilsa is from the Muppet's movie Casablanca.

What a cute little pup.

Does Ilsa enjoy going to Rick's Cafe and listening to Sam sing?

You got it! Here's looking at you kid!!

All hail Katie, mighty hunter of the dropped brisket!
