ButterBoo

couldn't help it!  tried not to, but ma couldn't help it! today marks 2 years ago we had to let Butterz go.  ma was gonna post some favorite pics, but there's not enough room on the internets.  so here's just one of literally thousands she has of him.

Big lug!  always the lap puppy!  and he never did quite grow into the beautiful ears did he?

Lamp #4

at this point, i don't think we need to say who did this!

High Cotton

This is Cotton - well, the white bulldog on the island.  So mom was back home in FL the other weekend for Mom's Day.  They went to visit her paw & step-mom.  They live way out in the country and, when it rains a lot, they have a swamp in the back yard that fills in quite a bit.  Sometimes it rains enough that they have an island & that's what you see here.  Turns out the neighbor's dog escaped on a Friday & mom's paw found her stranded on their island on Sunday.  Poor baby.  Mom was just beside herself & made her paw go out & get her.  At the time, they had no idea who this was or who her hoomans were.  They left a note with the neighbor because they knew they had a couple of big white bulldogs & it had to be theirs.  They were right!  The neighbor was out of town & his brother was dog sitting for him when Cotton escaped.  She was such a sweetie mom almost brought her home.  She is very old so we were glad they were able to find her hoomans & get her home!  Oh, and that's our cousin Axel (mom's sister's lab) in the front trying to convince Cotton to get off that island!
