These two are our daughter’s dogs Kodi and Kyah…and this is a mild representation of their antics…Always into something or testing the limits of their world.
Hope for this to be a Christmas present…!

Hello girls, beautiful work Susan, still miss her and get irritated when I think of someone running her off.
Susan Bergstrom replied
Yes…me too…I have asked her to come back but she has had to leave her facebook account, my space and a few others…these evil people follow her everywhere. It was a bad,bad divorce with Shawn’s ex and they still live in kind of a hell…Thanks for viewing my friend!

Susan Bergstrom replied
Yes all of our pets add someting special to our lives…I just adore our 3 Pekingese, and then Lil’ Bit the Chihuahua and let’s not forget Chula the other dog that was dumped out here in the desert as a puppy, that makes 5 dogs for us!!!... when we had the ranch in Colorado we had as many as 7 dogs!...all of these dogs come into our lives for a reason…and they are alot like human children…they help you get out of yourself on a regular basis…forces you to care and tend something else then yourself…Thanks for viewing my friend…I hope you find a loyal 4 legged friend!
