Mutt Monday

This picture was taken in 2005 during our first "family" photo shoot. Riley was just two here. He looks so long and lean! Riley's a bird dog, and as we were sitting next to the duck pond, he was so excited here that he forgot to put the lid on his lipstick. Ah, the joy of boys!

I promise, I promise that I am good for more than just MM. I've been having some personal issues, and I don't think anyone wants to read my "woe is me" posts. Have mercy on lame-o me!

Mutt Monday was spawned, in part, by you - my fellow bloggers! In my blogstalking, I have come across so many of you who, like me, have adorable hounds that you love to show off! And what better way to brighten a dreary Monday than man's (and woman's!) best friend???

So all you dog lovers out there, I want to see your mutts and your purebreds, your tiny Chihuahuas and your huge Great Danes, your brand spankin' new puppies and your lazy, graying flea bags!

A Late Mutt Monday!

Tony's aunt says that our dogs are more photogenic than most people. I'm inclined to agree - they give good face!

I know I'm late, but please add your link if you played along. I don't want to miss anybody's mutts!

These boots were made for walkin'!

I know that I said I was going to get back in the blogging habit, but I've just been super busy. My in-laws 30th anniversary party is Saturday night, and there have been so many last minute errands to run. I've got a house guest coming tomorrow, so I need to scour my dirty house and then finish up my centerpieces. These are the bases:


Aren't they cute?! I should be back in full blogging force with lots of pictures next week. Take care lovelies!

Mutt Monday

I apologize for the absence of Mutt Monday last week. I have been in a blogging funk lately, but I am trying to pull myself out! Today's MM post is a few pictures that I found last week in an old Photobucket account.

I used this as a signature several years ago.

This is probably four years ago at Tony's grandparents' pine tree farm. Gidget looks so big compared to Riley in this pic!

Don't be fooled by their cute faces. They can turn cutthroat in no time!

As a side note, thank you sincerely for your sweet comments about this post. I was a little nervous to be that vulnerable, but y'all squashed that pretty quickly! :)

A Letter to My Husband.

A letter to my husband, on this our fifth anniversary.

I’ve said hurtful things that I regret. You forgave.
I’ve sweated so many small things. You obliged.
I’ve despaired when things got rough. You encouraged.
I’ve wished for more than I should have. You granted.
I’ve cried buckets of tears. You mopped.
I’ve felt unattractive and inadequate. You desired.
I’ve dug my heels in stubbornness. You caved.
I’ve needed more than you had to give. You endured.
I’ve questioned you. You tolerated.
I’ve shared my deepest secrets. You listened.
I’ve lusted for your touch. You consumed.
I’ve trusted when it didn’t feel natural. You committed.
I’ve laughed until my stomach ached. You tickled.
I’ve given myself to you unlike any other. You welcomed.
I’ve loved more intensely than my heart thought possible. You requited.
I’ve grown as a woman, as a person, as a wife. You inspired.

You are truly my better half. I love you more than yesterday but less than tomorrow!
