dog stories...

When Cory and I moved in together in August of 2005, we both immediately wanted to adopt a dog (we both grew up with lots of pets). And so we got Biscuit:

Biscuit was a bit of terror. She would destroy things while we were away. She had lots & lots of energy. We loved her dearly. And less than a year after getting her, she was struck by a car & died. It was devastating. Our home felt empty. We casually perused the inter-webs, knowing we would want another dog. And then we found Bella and Lulu.

Cory drove a total of 9 hours to bring them home. Within the first week we had them, they both became violently ill. They ended up being quarantined at the animal hospital for over a week with parvo...we were told they had a 50/50 chance of survival. We visited them everyday; and many days they had no energy to even lift their heads to acknowledge our presence. It was such a tough time. They managed to get better & have been healthy ever since! In addition to being the cutest dogs ever, they are also the cuddliest. No foolin. Even though it is a constant battle with the dog hair around here...I couldn't imagine my life without them!
P.S. Not totally sure what is going on with the decor in these photos, you'll want to go ahead & ignore that ♥
