This is how I have been seeing myself lately. A fruit with life experience. However, I am not yet at the point of using a cane!

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost,

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

This is Remi and Charlie and they really are playing. Charlie looks like she is going for his neck, and check our her double canine teeth! She never lost her baby canines. Seriously, they are playing and this is the first night we had Remi here. Check out the difference in the size of their paws.

They play hard and rest hard. Remi is almost double that size now. He was smaller than Charlie when he first came to live with us.
More play pictures.....really......they are not mad or biting each other.
And then.......Remi sleeps hard. He loves all of us but is really attached to Jeff. As it should be........it is his dog.

We love him!

Okay, it has been an age since I have put anything on my blog, and this little guy is growing up so fast, I had to introduce you to Jeff's Christmas present. This is Remi and he is a Brittany Spaniel/Pointer mix. He is a keeper! He simply makes us laugh, and on the rare occasion question our decision to get another dog, but on the whole has been a really fun addition to the family.

Here he is chewing on a rawhide and it looks like a cigar! He walked around the house with it like this in his mouth. Charlie however, kept wanting to take it from him.

When we got him, he was about an inch shorter that Charlie, who only weighs 9 lbs. and 6 weeks later, he is about 2 inches taller and weighs in at 18 lbs.

I have been training the dogs together and Charlie is stubborn and so she is on a leash that is wrapped around my office chair. Well, Remi had been a really good boy so he didn't need to be on his leash. I went out to answer the door and came back to this. Charlie had pulled the chair as close to the door as she could and was setting on it. Remi had gone into the bathroom and gotten the spare roll of TP and was chewing it up. It was like Charlie didn't want to get into trouble and was saying, "It wasn't ME!"
I LOVE this picture of Katelyn and Remi but I tried to fix his eyes, but one of them would NOT work, but it is darling and I wanted to share.

Charlie and Remi often have tug of wars over some of the toys. They really do get along well and Charlie now has someone to play with. Charlie does get seriously bent out of shape if Remi wants her rawhides but it is simply no problem for her to take away his.

He used to fit on Jeffs lap much easier. He loves his master.
