Our 3 boys

Until I can get this past wedding edited and complete, I want to leave you with our precious babies!

Growing up, we had dogs and cats….but we were NEVER allowed to have them in the house! Occasionally my sister would sneak one in the house, and I would be the one in trouble. So our animals came and went….

After graduating college and moving to Winston-Salem on my very own, I was lonely. Out of the blue one day, I decided I wanted a dog. Right then and there I called a lady from the newspaper and arranged to go look at her new puppies. That afternoon I left with my precious baby Baxter. Side note: They named him Clyde … um … I don’t think so. He is truly a Baxter!

So after getting Baxter, I kept him a secret for a few days. I knew my parents were coming to visit very soon so I waited to tell them shortly before the visit. They fell in love! When I first brought him home to their house, Dad was a little hesitant. Not used to having an animal in the house. It didn’t take long and they were best buddies. After about a year or so, they wanted a dog. A girl I worked with helped to find mom and dad a Yorkie.

Shortly after the search, came sweet, sweet Obie! Obie was a rescue and had to have lots of TLC! I couldn’t imagine what would have happened to him if it weren’t for someone taking him out of a bad situation and finding his way to my parents. My sister and I had an awesome childhood and was spoiled rotten! Somehow, they found a way to out do that and make Obie “King of the Castle”. He deserves it, we will let it slide Mom and Dad!

Then came precious Barney! This is my sister’s dog that they rescued in Texas. When they moved to Texas, they hadn’t been married but for about 6 months. One side of the family was in North Carolina and the other in California.

After being out there a while, they too became a little lonely. Barney definitely filled a spot in their hearts and he too was removed out of a bad situation and now living the high life!

This post is a little cheezy … ok a lot cheezy … but these 3 handsome studs warm our hearts and make us smile. It’s a full house when we all come to visit but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Go give your pet friend a treat and tell them you love them!
