Happy Anniversary Katie

We rescued Kate one year ago with the help of American Bullmastiff Rescue.  She came to us weak and thin from a long battle with kennel cough and needed a lot of love.  She did not know what to think of Henry and Homer, wanted to be their friend but was so scared of Henry’s size and Homer always bossing her around. But now after one year she is the Queen of the house with Henry and Homer wanting her affection.

They are always entertaining…

No respect for the big guy.

Best of Friends

Not sure who is smitten with who.

In spirit she is still with us.

A dear friend Randy gave us a knock out rose bush in memory of Sadie. Our 10 year old Bullmastiff who passed away in April of cancer. We planted the rose bush by the studio where Sadie use to like to lay in the sun and watch for people passing by. This morning Katie was sitting right next to the rose bush…..we all got teary eyed. Now it seems to be Katie’s favorite place also, Sadie your spirit lives on in Miss Katie.

Meet Katie

Meet Katie she our 9 months old rescue Bullmastiff.  She has been a pretty sick little girl dropped off with her mother, sister and brother at a shelter in Alabama,  she  had kennel cough that turned into pneumonia. The American Bullmastiff Association Rescue took these guys from the kill shelter and have found homes for the two girls and hopefully will find forever homes for Mom and Katie’s brother soon.

Miss Katie when thought a long recovery,  she still has to gain some weight and build up strength, but that is a job we can do.

A special thank you to Scott and Christina for all they do for the Bullmastiff rescue, also want to thank Carol for helping with the transportation in getting Miss Katie to us….big HUGS to all.

Sadie, Sissy, Sweet Pea, so sweet you were.

If you follow my blog you know Sadie was diagnosed last summer with cancer. This past week I could see Sadie did not care for the joys in her life, it was becoming too much of an effort.  Once again we had to make a hard painful decision for Sadie. A friend told me the other day I know she loved you for making this decision.

I’ve been thinking of some of the dogs we’ve had and all the different personalities, Mitch was the caring one, Caine the royal one, Reggie was a true companion, Sport was loyal, and I could go on, but Sadie was the sweet one. One of her many nick names was Sweet Pea.

She was a Bullmastiff and a breeder told me once that anything over 8 years are bonus years with these big breeds. Well, we had wonderful bonus years with Miss Sadie, she was 10 last December.

Sissy you are missed, and we are thankful for all the wonderful memories.

Who’s your buddy?

We got Homer last summer when Sadie got diagnosed with cancer. We figured Homer and Henry would buddy up and the loss of Sadie would not be so hard on Henry. Well, that was our plans but as you can see Homer fell in love with Sadie, as we say she is his big Sissie.

No better place to be on a cold, snowy winter day.
