We Need a Bigger Couch!

This picture was taken earlier this morning in the office. I really think we need a bigger couch!

From left to right: McCloud, Jackson, Cokie and Marco.

What a life, lol!

Room For One More!

Okay I promise no more introductions for at least the next twenty years!

Our newest and final member to the family is Cokie! She’s a 10 year old 4 pound Yorkie female with no teeth! Cokie was turned over to the kill shelter buy her owner with instructions to put her down as little dogs weren’t worth keeping! I can only imagine her home life!

Cokie was rescued and during her vet exam it was found that all her teeth were bad and the decision was made to remove them. During that process the poor vet broke her little jaw! She has been in rehab and foster for some time now. She has been up for adoption however no one wants older dogs and that’s were we came to her rescue. She has bonded with Beth and is a bit afraid of me but she’ll come along in time.

Our three other pack members have welcomed her with open arms as you’ll see in my next picture, lol!

Taco Head!

Taco Head is melting our hearts more everyday! We still miss Janie so much however Marco has filled our hearts with great joy. He really is a sweet dog when he’s asleep. Now let’s talk about when he’s awake! Poor Jackson has become Marco’s chew toy and McCloud has banded Marco from the bed! There are balls all over the house and this morning he bit my toe, lol!

Birthday Present

While several friends including my cousin Laura suffered from Mandoline Slicer envy I have really enjoyed my Birthday present. Thanks to all for their safety tips. No I haven’t cut anything off yet or put out my eye lol!

New Orleans Landing

Last week saw me flying into New Orleans LA to visit a CVS training project in Donaldsonville LA.

This beautiful picture of the bay and bridge was taken by accident while landing!

Atlanta Winter!

Friday 01/08/2010 found the south and us suffering under low temperatures, snow and very icy roads. Fortunately Beth and I were off and had grocery shopped the weekend before so we were able to cuddle in the warm den for the day. As of this morning it was 13F and 0F with the wind chill in our area!

Happy Birthday

Gram and Papa helped celebrate my 58th birthday joining Beth and I for dinner at Long Horns!

Christmas 2009

Presents under the tree.

Everyone enjoyed Christmas dinner.

My Triffle was pretty good too!

Pete's turkey was the best ever.

Santa Jackson knew if you were naughty or nice!

Santa brought Beth an I-Phone. Now she's really, really cool!

I had lunch with my brother yesterday and I was suprised to learn how many friends were on his naughty list, lol!

Introducing Marco Fidel Taco Jose Cuervo Sarc!!!

We are pleased to introduce the newest rescued member of the Sarc family, Marco Fidel Taco Jose Cuervo Sarc!!! I'll let you guess what bred he his, lol!
Marco is a Chihauhua Fox Terrier mix, 1 year old, 7 pounds. He was rescued from a kill shelter by Mostly Mutts here in Atlanta and placed in a foster home. He has good house manners, loves toys and can fetch a ball faster than a bullet, lol! It was love at first sight. He gets along very well with Jackson and McCloud and Beth loves him :-)!

While we are still saddened and broken hearted by Janie's passing Beth and I are committed to the rescue of sheltered dogs.

Janie Sarc 1995 to December 5 2009

When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see the sun will rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me.I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today remembering how I'd lay my head in your lap that special way. I know how much you love me as much as I love you and each time that you think of me I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and petted me with her hand. She said my place was ready in Heaven far above and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to heel away a tear fell from my eye for all my life I never thought that I would have to die. I had so much to live for so many sits and downs to do it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought about our lives together I know you must be sad I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
Remember how I'd nudge your hand and poke you with my nose? The frisbee I would gladly chase and the bad guy I'd "bark and hold".
If I could relive yesterday just even for awhile I'd wag my tail and kiss you just so I could see you smile.
But, then I fully realized, that this could never be; for emptiness and memories will take the place of me. And when I thought of treats and toys I might miss come tomorrow I thought of you and when I did, my dog-heart filled with sorrow.
But then I walked through Heaven's gate and felt so much at home; as God looked down and smiled at me from His beautiful golden throne. He said, "This is eternity and now we welcome you, today your life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow but today will always last for you see each days's the same day there's no longing for the past. Now you have been so faithful, s o trusting, loyal and true;though there were times you did things you knew you shouldn't do.
But good dogs are forgiven and now at last you're free; so won't you sit here by my side and Louise and wait right here with me? "So when tomorrow starts without me don't think we're far apart.For every time you think of me,I'm right there, in your heart.

We love you.

Doggy Pals!

Pals for life, lol!

Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving 2009 was celebrated at Beth's parents' home here in Atlanta. We supplied our famous "Better than Sex" trifle and a pecan pie as dessert while Beth's sister Stacey cooked a really good bird!

Look at Me!

As we don't know McCloud's history we were surprised with his ability to sit up. He does it unsolicited and for minute at a time. One thing is for sure he loves his new family and shows great glee when given a chew flip!

New Toy!

A new toy found it's way home during the flooring project and "no" I didn't just do the floors to buy a Porter Cable Air Gun Combo Kit!

Oh did I say it's great for keeping the car tires at perfect pressure too, lol!
