SAUDADE - A longing for something you already have......


Pronounced "sow-dahd-jee" this word is hard to define.

It's being in a moment so wonderful that all you can do is

mourn it's passing, even as it is happening.

January 2013


We survived the holidays!  Right now we're working on switching bedrooms between the "kids".  Samantha will move to the room the dogs currently use, and her room will become the new dog room/art room for me.  (Pictures will follow of the new rooms!)



Shine looking cute with her holiday bow on her collar.


Bayden is back!  Her liver values continue to drop closer to normal and she has gained back all the weight she lost.  We have one more followup bloodwork to hopefully confirm her health next month.

"Look into my eyes......you WILL throw the ball now........"

"Seriously, just throw it, okay?"


"How YOU doin?"


"It's a tough life....."


"but somebody's gotta do it"



And a couple of short videos of Jamie taken this month
