Bella

Well after Brandy passed, Mary decided she wanted a puppy sooner rather than later. So we started a search. And we found her. So everybody meet Bella. And below you will find a couple of links to the Breeder(s) I say because best I can figure is it is really several ladies that love the Golden breed and they work together in producing the best possible puppies they can.

Barb is the nice lady that raised Bella I don’t have a website for her. But her partner/friend who co-owns the Dam and Sire Tay and Taylor is Suzi from Country Lane
Also for other readers if you are in St Louis their partner who Suzi works really closely with is All Star. So if your looking for a great Golden bred and raised for the right reasons and just done right. Check these ladies out.

And now pictures of Bella.


Bella sleeping with Gabe checking her out. Can you hear him whispering “Hey wake up, I wanna play” He already loves her so much.
Sleeping again. She is a heavy sleeper.
Shortly after arriving home last night with her.
Agian early this morning. You can see Celina in the back round looking over the pillow. And there I am sleeping. You can see my head and hand.

Yeah that is a little hair coulic that runs down her nose. Those of you that know Mary and I know we love things a little different.

Okay only the COOLEST flashlight EVER!!!

Okay I NEED this. Please oh please oh PLEASE GET ME THIS!!

Rainbow Bridge


Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….

We had to let Brandy go this morning. It is hard and we miss her already. Brandy we love you and will always keep you in our hearts. Till we meet agian….

We love you
Mary, Mike and Grandma Georgie

Something that I thought about this morning as I was waking up….


I wonder why you never hear about Ghost animals. You know like a cow that died on her way to get milked and now forever more every morning at Milking stall 13 a phantom ghost cow is always seen there. Or a deer that was on out one day gathering berries and food for herself and her calf and POW she was shot. So now every fall morning there is a ghost deer that walks around.

I was just wondering because you only ever hear of people ghosts and I was just wondering why? And you cant tell me its because we are the only animal on the planet that has a thing called self-awareness hence a soul because that has been proven wrong with several different mammals.

Nothing New really…


Like the title says really nothing new happening. It is Mary’s birthday this weekend so we are going to out to eat this evening with our friends. Should be a lot of fun. Ryan we are sorry you cant join us. But we understand. We hope to see you soon.

I am just sitting here listening to some music. Listening to Blues Traveler-Straight on Till Morning. Good album. But of course its hard for them to screw anything up. I have been trying to put together a couple of playlists. It is harder than one might think. I have such a eclectic collections ranging from Tupac to Phil Collins to Blues Traveler to Garth Brooks to Ozzy and back again. And I actually do listen to all of it.

I am putting a couple of new links over there on the side. I am putting my two favorite radio shows up there. Since I have XM and I am able to listen all day to them. One is for the Opie and Anthony show and the other is Ron and Fez. Both on channel 202 the Virus on XM.

I also put up a couple of other links to Audiogon and Videogon. They are sites to find great used high end Audio and Video equipment. I haven’t actually bought anything from there yet. But I keep looking at stuff I would like. Hmmmm McIntosh, Athena, Rotel. I wish had lots of money. Oh well.
