Bill always wants to be the center of attention...

But really, Bill, put your wiener away...

I've been taking tons of photos, because for today, Ross still feels good enough to play and eat, he's still having fun with his brothers and I don't want to forget the good times when he get more sick. So yesterday I was snapping away like crazy. I came back in the house, cropped this pic gave it a couple of boosts (thank you macbook) pleased as peaches, showed BT and he said, too bad Bill left his dick out...

I really do have a cat.

I just realized I almost never mention Alice. She really is a fantastic cat. I think if you have a cat and treat her like a dog, and she has dog friends, she'll be a cool as a dog. Better than a dog if you consider a cat will use a litter box and give herself a bath every single day! How cool is that??!!!

Here are some shot of Alice, the wonder cat!

I have more photos, I'll add another day. She's an awesome pet.

Cancer...

Yesterday afternoon our Vet told us that Ross has cancer. Bad cancer. There is no cure, only chemo that will extend his life 6 to 12 more months. Here's the weird part, one day there were no signs, the next his glands were totally swollen, the big sign. It sucks, I hate it.

When we got our puppies, we knew logically that when you get a puppy you'll most likely out live it and it doesn't matter on the day that you go pick him or her out. All that matters is that you are instantly in love and excited to teach him how to be a good boy. But did I teach Ross anything? I don't think so, he's always been a great dog, very loyal, obedient, and intuitive. He's the BEST friend I could have. If you hug him, he'll hug you back. I will miss my friend, but in the mean time, whether he have a day, a week, a month or two, BT and I will be giving him his "Best Day" every day until the end.

One day my nose will stop bleeding....I hope!

Back in the day (1986) I was heading off to college and I had been having crappy nose bleeds, but the day before I was leaving home for the first time, I had the mother of all nose bleeds. Seriously, I thought I was going to pass out. I was weak and light headed for about a week, but I got better. Then it started happening again, so I went home, saw a doctor and had my nose fixed. Well, it worked like a charm and I haven't had a nose bleed since. Until two weeks ago...now it has started again and I hate it. Last night was a doozy! I'm thinking it's time to see a doctor again and have them repaid the inside of nose. Seriously, it's a gross process and I hate going to the doctor for any reason. I doesn't make sense to pay someone to cause you pain.

Moon Boots

We've been having a glorious snow storm for the last couple of days. The boys have been frolicking in the snow and because it's warm they are running around looking like they are wearing moon boots.

Here's Ross...

 and Jake...

 Snow is a lot of fun and the boys loooooove it!

Hair Cuts....

About every thirty days the boys need a hair cut. Today I got a late start, but Ross was first and he looks so darn cute. We don't let it get too long so it's not really that much of change, but he looks "cleaned up". I'll post photos once everyone is done. Still using the flowbee. I love that I'm not covered in little, nasty bits of hair. Photos coming soon!!!

BT is a GOOD man.

Just about every week when we make our trek to the grocery story, we come across some idiot who's driven off the road. (We live in Montana after all, we have a ton of snow) Today was no different, however, today's driver put his car in FWD and had actually almost dug himself out by the time we got there. Piece of pee...(Hey, I know it's piece of cake, I just always say piece of pee because of that one movie, I think it's funny) Here's the part I want to talk about BT is a GOOD man. He will always stop. He'll see someone and say we'd better help them. I say they're idiots and it's cold. He says if we were off the road we'd want someone to help us. He's right. He always stops. He always helps. He's GOOD Man!
