Love #1: Dogs

Dogs. Or any pet, really. My dogs are honestly the light of my life. I don't care if this makes me sound like a crazy dog lady. There is nothing like coming home every day and seeing these two faces and wagging tails. Spending five minutes with either of them instantly puts me in a better mood. Pure unconditional love right there.

Some would say a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Pit Bull mix are an odd pair, but I love them both so much for such different reasons.

Oliver is such a dear. He's the pretty boy who loves to play ball, chase butterflies and shadows, hates to be picked up, and is just inherently good. He is a delicate little soul who is happy to lay in the sunshine all day {as long as I give him cheese and salmon treats}. We always joke and call him "the perfect boy" because he is! Anyone who meets Oliver is instantly taken by his gorgeous ruby locks, fluffy wagging tail, and soulful brown eyes.

Faye makes us laugh on a daily basis. She is a 40lb dog who thinks she is a lap dog & is the biggest cuddle bug around. Although she loves to play and torment Oliver, she is incredibly sweet and her big kisses tell me every day how thankful she is that we rescued her. Pit bulls have a horrible reputation and that angers me more than I can say. While she is extremely stubborn and strong {she can rip apart a toy in .32 seconds}, I know she would never hurt a soul. I am proud to have a pittie-mix as part of our little family, and really can't imagine my life without either of my dogs.

Have a wonderful weekend & give your pets a big hug!
