I recently received notice from WordPress that I now have 500 likes.

So…I decided to set a silly goal for myself.

Can I get 500 more “likes” before the end of the year???

I went through the photos on my laptop.

If I make you smile will you “like” my post???

Photo bomb.

We fostered Katie for about a month but just couldn’t give her up. She’s our little “foster failure”.

Whinny ‘”nose” when the camera is out. Tee Hee

One of my favorites of sweet Emma.

I call this one “stupid dog”

Just thought I’d break up the theme a little. My mother-in-law, Ilene.

Sophia and the sunset.

Friend Paul and his dog Nadia. Nothing like a good laugh with a friend.

…and one more photo bomb for your consideration. Aiden the 8 yr. old “dog whisperer”.

Reblog, reblog, reblog and help me reach my silly goal! Woot Woot!

Until next time…Appy Trails Smile

Weekly Photo Challenge – Carefree

I love taking photos of our “kids” being carefree.

Happy, healthy, feeling their oats and not a care in the world…

…except maybe, which direction did the ball go?

Until next time…Appy Trails Smile

Weekly Photo Challenge–In The Background

It takes allot of playing to get Emma (in the background) to actually stop and rest. As for our foster Harvey? He’s done for the night.

A little target practice with my Dad on Memorial Day.

You can never be too ready for the zombie apocalypse.

Until next time…Appy Trails Smile

Dandelion Dogs

I found an excuse to put off mowing the lawn.

…for a little while anyway.

The flash went off on this last picture of Whinny. I thought that was strange since it was a nice sunny day (finally!) I’m glad it did or we wouldn’t have been able to see it was a dog. Apparently my camera knows more than I do.

Until next time…Appy Trails Smile

Our First Foster a.k.a. The Reason Gunner’s Nose Is Out Of Joint

Meet Katie

My email to Scott at work 2/21/13: (no subject) Don’t freak out but I have a little Cocker here that Shorewood is taking.

His reply: Why?

To make a long story short, I’m apparently known as the Cocker Queen at the vet clinic I used to work at so they called me about an owner surrender.

I’ve known Katie for quite a while and had even mentioned to the owner a couple times in the past that if they ever needed to find a new home, well then…

Anyway, because of financial difficulties…here we are.

With all the surrender paperwork in order, I brought Katie home. Unfortunately she was an overweight, stinky mess. Both, body wise and ears.

But I love makeovers!

So this was a Thursday night. Scott was going to take her to an event Shorewood was at on Saturday.

We have 3 Cockers already.

Do I want a 4th dog in the house?

By Friday night I felt a tugging in my heart. I’ve know Katie for years, I’d really like to foster her and get her to a healthy weight, get her ears healthy and she just seemed to settle right in and what’s one more dog and she really lights up when Scott walks into the room and I really want to get her groomed properly so she looks like a Cocker and not a Beagle and…

Wasn’t really counting on the destruction from Gunner here though. Uhm…you have my attention now Gunner. Don’t worry Mama loves you the most. (you have to tell them stuff like that ya know)

…ok where was I? Oh yes, well I get home from town Friday night and say to Scott Hey what about us fostering Katie? We know she will go on the rescue site when she’s ready.

He was all for it. Because…
