On Friday I was beyond furious with my youngest pup Brutus. He has been quite destructive around the house lately, so we started crating him again while we're gone. Somehow while we were at work on Friday he managed to escape from the crate, unwrap, and chew up ALL BUT 2 gifts under our Christmas tree!! Then he finished removing the buttons from my tree skirt (which he had started previously) and urinated on our bed and the family room carpet. He was on a rampage of destruction. I was so ready to give him away to the first bidder. By Saturday, I forgave him... we made up. But he was still on doggy probation. Today, I was out shopping for a new heavy-duty crate and replacement gifts for what he destroyed when I got the call from my hubby, Adam. The high winds today had blown our gate open and both of our dogs were gone. I was about 6 minutes away from home and got there in about 3. We both scoured the neighborhood for about 25 minutes and were losing hope that they were either a) hit by a car, b) lost forever, c) dog-napped.
I was out at the end of our neighborhood, by the pond and a field that led to an apartment complex. I drove past the pond on my right once and saw something black and white out of the corner of my eye. I flung the car into reverse and saw that it was just a bunch of ducks. I paused a moment and considered getting out of my car just to double-check, but figured if my Bruty was there, the ducks would not be that relaxed. I sat for a few seconds and looked to my left and across the field, I saw my two boys sprinting at top speed towards me. They recognized my car! I flew out of the car and yelled "Boys, let's go buh-bye!" I've never seen them run so fast. Yet they were so proud of their little journey, especially Tyson. I never have been so happy to see them in my life. I thought in a matter of 20 minutes my life couldn't been changed forever. Those boys are everything to me, and I've since forgotten everything I've said about giving Brutus away. Here's an old, previously "unreleased" photo of my boys out on our porch this summer. In honor of all the doggy lovers out there... enjoy the photos!
Now, for the pictures you'd rather see. This was Hutch from our Work-It Shop last weekend. Hutch was adorable! And, of course, much better behaved than my dogs.
What a cute holiday photo!
Same photo, just a little closer. His expression was just so cute.
The model was worn out from all the posing.
I thought this photo was so cute. We were on Ohio Wesleyan's campus. Hutch was sitting on the stairs and a lot of the photogs were shooting from the front. I (and a few others) went off to the side by the bushes. He spotted us though! And he kept taking turns looking at each photographer, letting us get our shot. Such a model!
As someone mentioned, he looks like he's waiting for the bus!
I like this photo a LOT, I just can't decide if I like Color or B&W better...

He is so cute! I think the color is the winner.
