My friend David sent these to me today -- baby pictures for Mason and his brother, Kilroy. Unfortunately, Kilroy died last week, and David was going through some pictures. In the first one, Mason is lying down. In this one, Mason is on the left. It's amazing to think that Mason, now 100 lbs, was ever that small. Kilroy was even larger, topping out at nearly 150.

MOOSE! That's me taking the picture reflected in the Moose's eye and behind me a friend backing away saying "you're nuts Jodi!" LOL Jodi-

Thanks! Those pictures are from a few years ago, all but one have passed on now. Woofman Jack is the reindeer ... Rick found a little set of antlers at a yardsale the summer before, and glued some padding and ties onto them so Woofman could wear them. The yorkies are Scrappy Doodle, Bugsy, Pebbles and Rocky. Bugs is the only one still with us. The yorkies kept hopping out of the sleigh while I worked to get just the right shot ... we had to finally put their harnesses on, and then Rick ran twine through the harnesses and roped them into the sleigh! You can see from their expressions, they were NOT so happy about that. LOL. And yes, at one point we had nine dogs, but are down to just six now. We're trying to let attrition drop the numbers, but it's hard not to adopt another one (or two or three LOL). With the economy the way it is, there are just so many at the rescues that need homes.

Buddy and Nocci, who were often entwined. It's not a good scan--I'll have to try again--but you get the picture.
