must love dogs

to say that tyler & i are dog lovers is an understatement. if you have spent any time with us you know this to be true. our dogs are our children. in our 5 years together, we have gone from just the 2 of us, to a large & rambunctious family of 5.

in july 2005 we adopted a 6 week old yellow lab/chow mix from the louisa, ky pound. we appropriately named him brewsky, after he knocked over a beer and slurped it right up at his first party.

on easter 2006, fate & a fellow dog lover lead us to bailey a 10 month old german sheperd/golden retriever mix. she was abandoned in charleston, near corridor g and was extremely skiddish, malnourished, & stinky. she & brew immediately clicked and we couldn't resist her sweet face. so home with us she came. she is now our fat, happy, & healthy girl.

in november 2008, doggie #3 arrived via my brother, cole. he adopted him at the local pound and quickly realized that taking care of a puppy entailed a lot more time & energy than he had expected. unable to bear the thought of my brother returning him to the pound, benson the black lab became a part of our brood.

bailey hasn't been thrilled with the new addition, but she is learning to live with him- and love him when she thinks no one is watching ;) brewsky on the other hand, loves having another playmate. he's a great big brother :)
