Happy 7th Birthday to...

Scout & Tex. These two dogs have provided hours and years of entertainment for us. They were our first babies, and they've been so good to our new babies...most often playing third and fourth fiddle to Drew and Grady. They still wag their tails and follow us everywhere though.

Here's a little tribute to their 7 years...

This is one of my favorite pics of all time. Scout, Tex, and Drew at our house in Florida. These dogs spend countless hours in front of windows...waiting for anything and barking at everything.


Scout - our regal puppy - she pretends to be serious, but she is usually the first to bark at passers-by and to instigate a play fight with Tex.

Tex - our goofball puppy - Tex loves the water, the trash, the turkey bacon paper towel from the trash, our bed, and many other things that he shouldn't like.

Their first snowfall in VA...look how little they are. They aren't even a year old in this picture.
