This is Minnie. She likes to drive the motorhome. Everytime we stop she jumps to the drivers seat.
This is Pixie trying to get Greg off his laptop to take her down to the beach to play. ( on a trip in the RV)
Their bed to share at the doggie hotel at the coast. We are hopefully going there this weekend.
Both girls under their blankets getting warmed up after running in the cold oregon ocean. You can't even see pixie.
Ok, those are my babies.
Who else has 4 legged babies?? 3 of us have posted our photos of our extended family. Lets see who else has some critters.

How cute!!! I love all of the dog pictures (and the horse picture!!!).
I am a huge animal lover. My DH always calls me Dr. Doolittle because for some reason, and can almost get any animal to come to me (well, not wild animals, but dogs and cats on the streets). But, we even get so many squirrels and rabbits in our back yard, and when I am outside, they don't run away from me.
We used to have a little dog. We loved him SOOOO much!! He was a miniature daschund (miniature weiner dog), and his name was Scooby.
We decided to be contradicting and give 9 lb dog the name of a famous great dane!
But, his name fit him perfectly. He was little, but he had a big personality!!!
Anyway, he suddenly got very sick when he was 7 years old (we got him when he was 9 weeks old). We did everything we could to save him, and spend a LOT OF $$$$$! He had blood transfusions (3 of them, I think), was on expensive medications, in and out of the animal hospital... but it got to the point where the disease was winning, and we had to make a choice to keep treating him in hopes to get rid of the disease, or to put him to sleep. It was the absolute hardest decisions we've ever had to make in our entire lives together. But, the vet told us that if we kept treating him, he'd need more blood transfusions, stay on the meds, and the vet still only gave him an 80% chance of pulling through, and she said they wouldn't even be able to guarentee that 80% chance for another several weeks. Well, each week, more money was spent, Scooby's quality of life was going down hill.... so we decided since there was not a 100% chance of recovery, and we had already spent a ton of money, and he was just suffering, we decided the most humane thing was to put him down.
But, because we had time (a few days between when we decided to put him down from when they did actually put him to sleep... the let him come home for 3 days to just spend time with us so we could all say our goodbyes), but I got one of those garden stones from a craft store where you mix up the concrete mixture and you can decorate it how you want, I got that, and put his 4 paw prints in the stone, and then the boys and I decorated it with heart shaped stones, and then I wrote in it, Scooby 1999-2006.
That was the BEST thing ever, because we have his paw prints always with us.
I think only animal lovers would understand why we did this. People who don't love animals thought it was goofy what I did, but oh well.... that is what they think.
We have not gotten another dog since. Our boys keep asking for one, but honestly, now the boys are getting older, we travel SO much and we are very busy, so we are just not home a lot, so if we got a dog, we'd have to really change our lifestyle, but at this point, we aren't ready for that. I would never get a dog if we could not be home a lot with him/her... I'm not into getting a dog, and leaving him/her home all day by themselves, or putting them in the kennel all the time.
But, the funny thing with Scooby (talking about saying your animals are your kids), is when people would ask me how many kids I have, I would ALWAYS respond by saying, "I have 3 boys, but one of them is furry." I would get the oddest looks because people who do not have animals would never get it.
But, it was true! I had 3 boys, but one of them was furry!!
So, that is the story of our little Scooby dog. He was precious, and we have pictures of him in our house, so he definitely has not been forgotten. We'll get another dog sometime... probably when the boys are older and can help out with the dog more. We'll see. But, my closest friend has a little dog, and she lets us borrow her dog for a day from time to time to get our dog fix, so that is nice.

I would love to get more info and sign up. How many gifts do I bring, etc?
His dogs are large labs.
He LOVED the dryer... if only I could have trained him to actually DO the laundry! 
We will be cruising on the Norwegain Sun on November 5 out of Port Canaveral instead. We have very good friends that we cruise with sometimes. We had originally booked on the Sun with them last winter, but they cancelled due to illness in the family. Well things are looking up for them and they decided they wanted to go last week. Unfortunately, the Disney Magic was cost prohibitive for them. My brother has a cruise agency, Cruise One of Plano, and he sure scrambled to get us great cabins with the same special from last winter (I'm sure he isn't happy with me after having to cancel my Disney cruise and rebook the others at the last minute but that is what brothers are for.
I will cry if I hear the horn blow "When you wish upon a Star"
