Meet Samson

Samson was my traveling companion for my second rescue transport.  He was much calmer than the three precious chewers I transported my first time!  Saved from the gassing chamber after being surrended to an East Texas animal shelter, this sweetheart was rescued by a woman who helped find him a foster-to-adopt home through Midwest Animal Rescue & Services.  M.A.R.S. is a wonderful rescue organization based in Minneapolis, Minnesota that has a special-liking to the larger and bullly breed dogs.

I fell IN LOVE with Samson and just bawled like a baby when his next driver arrived.   His story and his love touched my heart, and I'm glad that I could be a small part of the journey into his new life.

Here are all the photos of precious Samson.  I can't choose just one!

Our New Dog Park!

We have an AMAZING new dog park near our home, and we recently decided to take the poochies to check it out.  Mackey, who usually dislikes the park, even had a great time!  I surprisingly got mostly shots of Big Mack since the big dogs were running around everywhere.
We only had one incident in which a woman brought her small dog into the large dog park - qnd Steve loves small dogs. :/  Let's just say she learned her lesson on using the small dog park, and we left soon after!

All in all, we hope to go back soon!

March 10th Again!

Three years ago, we became husband and wife. What an incredible day March 10, 2007 was, and what a helluva ride it's been since then. I can't imagine that ride being with anyone else, though.
