Freddy guarding the neighborhood.

Freddy and the girls had rare front yard privileges today, at least for a little while. The picture is Freddy guarding the neighborhood. It was taken when our neighbors came home. Freddy did not give them permission to pull their truck into their driveway, so he was deciding whether to go over there and give them "what for."

Happy 12th Birthday, Freddy!

Happy 12th Birthday, Freddy!! He is officially an old man at 84 human years. He has a lot of gray on his muzzle, face, and paws. In fact, the gray on his paws looks like he is wearing booties.

Freddy has been acting like a grumpy old man too. His eyes are getting cloudy, so maybe his mood swings are partly due to that. He has less tolerance for Luna (she's bigger than he is and he doesn't like it), but still loves his little Malibu. They are so cute together. Luna, of course, knows this and antagonizes Freddy whenever possible. Toddler Divas!

So, Happy 12th Birthday, Freddy. I hope we have another 12 years together.

Malibu wants a cookie!

Nana brought oatmeal cookies. The doggies love Nana's oatmeal cookies. Malibu thought she did not get enough oatmeal cookies, so she worried about everybody else's oatmeal cookies. Finally, Miss Julie gave Malibu a boost so she could see who at the table actually had a cookie. As you can tell from this picture, Malibu discovered that Nana still had a cookie!

Malibu was very, very serious about watching Nana's cookie to make sure that she received another treat from Nana. Nothing could distract Malibu from her cookie guard duty.

Tiinkerbell finds her forever home!

Have you read Freddy's blog posts about Tiinkerbell? Great news -- she finally found her forever home! The Pit Sisters did a short video of Tiinkerbell's story. Freddy hopes you watch it, and remember to foster or adopt a dog.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ic0LFIuRbYU

Farewell to Old Man Spotty

Freddy wishes his cousin Old Man Spotty a safe and happy journey across the Rainbow Bridge. See you on the other side one day, my friend.

To Spotty's family, we are so sorry to hear about Spotty's passing. Although small in size, Spotty was so large in spirit and he will be sorely missed. Thank you for giving a rescue doggie a forever home for such a long time. With sympathy, Freddy's Family.
