Our dog Reuben LOVES his beat up old volleyball! He can be very persistent when he wants you to kick it for him. He has other balls and the kids have a bunch lying around but he only wants his volleyball. Poor baby loves playing ball so much he broke his leg jumping too high [...]
Casey is such a sweet dog. Just look at her, she is adorable! I don’t understand people who don’t LOVE dogs. I think 2 dogs are the perfect number for us. Reuben is so quirky and has a personality you can’t ignore so I tend to favor him (plus he is my first puppy) but [...]
