my boy Chief valiantly fought cancer for months, and this morning the fight finally ended with a draw. Chief went through a lot in his 14.5 years, and we nearly lost him a few different times over the years, especially the time when he suffered an aneurysm at the beginning of the pandemic. but through it all he always kept smiling and wagging his tail. nothing could stop him from loving his life, and he was happy right up until the moment he passed. it gives me lots of peace and comfort to know that Chief is finally on the other side of the rainbow bridge, running and playing with his big sister Bailey. Good boy Chief. Papa loves you. 🧡🧡🧡

This is Ole (Oh-Lee).  He was named after Olaf, the snowman in the Disney movie Frozen.  I wanted to name him Blanco, but was outvoted….by my granddaughters…I never stood a chance.  Ten years ago, my wife’s consulting job required a fair amount of travel and she was worried about me being at home by myself.  Our three kids were all out of college and lived out of town.  So, she decided we needed a dog. Specifically, I needed a dog for companionship when she was away.  I told her I was fine and didn’t need a dog, but she was undeterred….as wives can be.  Within a week, she goes to a Poodle rescue shelter and brings home Ole.  Don’t let the “Poodle”in Ole or his unassuming appearance fool you.  Ole is fast as shit.  He catches squirrels.  He doesn’t hurt them.  He just wants to play with ‘em and, over time, the squirrels at the Stafford Estate have come to understand that it’s just a game for Ole, so the squirrels play along.   In fact, the squirrels will lie spread eagle on the sidewalk outside the kitchen window waiting for Ole to see them, so he’ll come outside to play.  Over the past several years, my wife has been out of state up to a month at a time to take care of her ailing parents.  I don’t know what I’d do without Ole.

Looks like you already bought Luna’s new boyfriends bed:

Good looking dog, but Luna would murder him over her stuff. That and she gets jealous of other dogs vying for my attention. Im definitely her human.

Hope the pup finds a good home.

God speed Chief. Say hi to Amber and all the others waiting for you across the rainbow bridge.

If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they went.  @Derka Chief’s waiting on the other side.

My dad always says that the thing he’s looking forward to the most in the afterlife is being reunited with all the dogs he’s known that have died before him.

Well, well, well- Ollie had his first birthday on Tuesday.  He celebrated with his normal routine of sleeping and tearing ass around the yard, plus some bonus time of yelling at and then trying to eat his birthday hat. 
 

He wasn’t a fan, so treats were the only way to get him close enough for the picture.  Hence the off camera gaze and paw offering.

Yup.  Can't wait to meet back up with Jeepers, Tuckwell, Agnes, and Norman.  Gumbo will surely be headed over soon, but Pluto the insane chihuahua will outlive the planet.
