HOUSE DOGS
SAMSON AND DELILAH
Sometimes you have to wonder why ideas pop into your mind - like giving my husband a pair of Newfoundland dogs for Christmas. But that's exactly what I did in 2005. Littermates Samson and Delilah joined our household the first week in January 2006. The first thing we did is to have a baby shower - yup - you read that right. Complete with baby decorations and a cake. Fuzzy little puppies do grow up and now Samson weighs in at about 175 pounds - Delilah at about 140 pounds. Delilah is our swimmer and loves to fish - Sammy loves to play and be with me.

SOLOMON
Sometimes saying no is just not an option. When we agreed to take Solomon in as a "foster" placement we knew almost immediately he'd never leave us. And so it was - another failed foster placement. You can see more Solomon photos under Newfs or Dogs Gallery tag.
BAILEY
Everyone needs a "Shmuppy" - a wonderful term a friend used to describe her mixed breed. We bought Bailey for$20 from a guy who said he was selling "golden retriever/lab" mixed puppies which he brought back from an Indian reservation in Arizona. Well, we had just lost Beauregarde and needed to fill the emotional void, so we went over to take a look. You be the judge. Is this a golden retriever/lab mix??
Bailey is an "old soul." There is someone special inside that furball. He is smart and intuitive. Very sensitive to emotions. He never liked to ride in a car but after he travelled 2700 miles in a camper, he has become quite the road warrior always read to jump into the front seat.
