it's an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."

Paint the town RED!

Here is what I decided on for the Wine label contest. 

It's a Meritage Red wine so my sister, Jami, thought up
"Paint the town RED!" 
Finn liked it too.

Peanut butter is...

a dog's best friend! Mmmm mmm good.

Happy St. Patricks day to all!

"Finn" essse Reserve.

This is a work in progress for a Wine Label I am working on for a contest for 

Mutt Lynch Winery 

It looks like wonderful winery in California that is very dog friendly!

Paws for thought...

“In life, there is no pause button, no rewind, and definitely no replay”

Enjoy the little things.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

The look of "LOVE"

I have seen this look a few times over the past few weeks. It's the look of "LOVE".

I love you because no matter what bad thing I do, like dig up the entire backyard, I know you'll still love me back. 

He is one smart dog!

Mud bud.

So spring is finally here and Finn loves to dig and roll and play in the mud. It's going to get ugly. 

Do we have to let him in?

Finley is trying to decide if he should let Starr in or not. We had to decide for him.

A new Groom.

Finley got his first haircut today and probably his last. I like him a bit more disheveled. The good news is, he can probably see now. 

Winner by a nose...

Love Finn's profile, but I think he needs a haircut. 

 Tomorrow he takes his first trip to the dog groomer.

12 years of bliss....

  6 houses, 4 kids, 3 dogs and a lot of crazy fun. And we lived happily ever after!

is perpetually on the wrong side of. (Ogden Nash)

Check mate.

Finley is growing so quickly, but in this photo it looks like his body needs to catch up to his head.

I think we'll call him Big Head Finn for the day.

Dogs are not are whole life...

but they make our life whole. (Roger Caras)
Dylan and Finley hanging together.

Three of a kind!

Taylor, Finley and Dylan enjoy a sunny day...finally!

Regal beagle...

Well, Regal Goldendoodle just didn't sound as good.  

I did this oil painting of Finley in Coral.  I think he looks quite regal.

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday...

for a hamburger today!

Golden Hair Surprise.

Finn does have some crazy hair. Love the spikes! But sometimes, I don't mind saying I just can take it.
