We Still Have Dogs

I realize this blog is about 98% Drew and 2% anything else, but I noticed the other day that I hadn't posted in a while that we still have our dogs and they are doing just fine. Since I ranted here about the rough phase we were going through with them, it has gotten tremendously better. This summer, I've tried to take them for little 15-20 min walks a couple times a week to help their energy and Derek and I have made a conscious effort to give them more attention and treats.

You can search for "Bailey" or "Lacy" in my blog and you'll find tons of posts on my girls but I'm not sure I had mentioned before that they are both rescues and (obviously) both lab mixes. Lacy just turned 10 years old and has always had the energy of a 20 year old dog. Bailey just turned 5 and has always had the energy of a 6 month old. They are night and day in some aspects, but best friends is something they'll always be. We don't know where Lacy's brother is out there in the world but we do keep in touch with Bailey's family. It's so fun to hear what her 7 brothers and 1 sister are up to. Bailey is the ONLY swimmer in the group and her sister and her are under 60 pounds where the boys all seem to be 90+ pounds. Weird, huh?

And what would these two choose to do ALL day if they could?


I guess we'll keep them.

  2. Aw, so glad things have gotten better with the dogs! I was just thinking (this morning, literally) how I hadn't posted on our four-legged kiddos in a bit.

  3. I need to do a dog update too. Ours have been having a hard time adjusting to Aiden, especially since he's so busy and mobile now. Glad to see yours are doing great!

  4. Adorable dogs!!! I feel the same way with our dog. Ever since Carter came along, we don't give her much attention anymore and I feel so bad. I have to do better!

  5. Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Firefox. Exceptional Blog!

  6. Pretty pups. Same story here. We have to rescue kitties and they just don't get the same attention anymore.

  7. Love your dogs! I feel the same way about my pups. Before Alex came along, my dogs were my life! I feel bad that they don't get as much attention now...

  8. Balancing dogs and a kid is SO tough! I totally underestimated how much work it would be. We are constantly feeling like we neglect our two dogs. We try to take them for a walk each night, but now with dwindling daylight, it's getting more challenging!

  9. We have tried so hard not to neglect our dogs since Jade arrived, but it really IS hard. It feels like someone or something is always demanding my attention. :|

    I clicked through to the professional pictures and thought they were amazing! We had that done for Macy and Winston a couple of years ago, and I'm so glad we did.

  10. ahhhh...gramma loves her granddoggies! I totally am glad you are making it a point to spend quality time here and there with them. They were your babies/companions/comforters/protectors and centers of attention for so long. They are still members of the family...they just have moved down a rung or two to make room for the new human!
