Morning Meanderings… Dogs Life
Good morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We did here! Did a little eating, did a little shopping, watched movies and just spent time together.
For my Saturday Snapshot today I thought I would give you a little update on the adopted dogs. Sammy, was a stray and came to live with us in April:
In July, we rescued Mater who was abused:
Sammy is Lap-so, and Mater is art beagle and part basset hound, “A Baggle”. 😀 As you can imagine my house went from a quiet home with just Al and I and Bailey (our 14 year old Schi-tzu) to a BUSY house with Sammy who they believe was 1 1/2 when we got him, and Mater who was 4 months old when we got him.
Mater made the biggest changes to out home. He grew fast. He is extremely curious. In the last 4 months he has taken food off the kitchen table, went through a “running through the house with a roll of toilet paper” phase, 3 pairs of shoes, perhaps most painfully – 10 books, and a lot od saying “MATER!” when he plays non stop.
Sammy and Mater are buddies, although Mater is a year younger than Sammy, he is three times as big as Sammy now.
If you want to check out other Saturday Snapshots, check out Alyce’s site At Home With Books where she hosts this fun meme.
I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday. Justin, College Son, goes back home this morning. I have a volunteer fair to help out with for a few hours this afternoon and a few hours tomorrow. Other than that, I get to hang out at home the rest of this weekend… get a little exercise and catch up on my challenges from 2012 so I can post about what the plans are for 2013. 😀
What’s the rest of your weekend plans?

Awww cuties! I have a full blood basset and she’s a handful! She likes to steal tissue/toliet paper/anything. It’s such a hound trait! LOL
Have a great day!
I have never had a mid-size dog before…. I am a small dog girl, but Mater really grabs my heart 🙂
Ha!! Those last couple of pictures could have been taken at my house too!! the dogs rule the roost for sure!!
Oh yeah – its like having little kids in the house again…LOL
What sweet photos! I really miss our sweet Milou and still look for her all the time.
I bet Kathy, I did that with Elmo for a while after he was gone too…. *hugs friend*
They are so adorable! Thanks for sharing the snapshots…and for visiting mine.
I am trying to get back to visiting blogs again Laurel…. control of my time …. I hope 😀
Yup, I always say in my next life I want to come back as someones pamper house pet. So CUTE!
LOL – it really is the way to go Diane, as long as you get into a good house! 😀
Aren’t they delightful? (Well, except, perhaps, for the destruction of the ten books!)
Yeah the books was a bit annoying but they were all old ones I had picked up at garage sales and did not have in the book room (which has a door I keep closed 😀 )
Awwwww, playful puppies. Fortunately they should grow out of the destructive phase.
Right! 😀 Ummm…. how long is that? 😉
Dogs do keep you on your toes and busy but you gotta love them! Love the sleeping photos!
Its liek they own the house or something… 😀
Cute dogs! Don’t know what I’d do without my baby!
Here’s my Saturday Snapshot
They keep me hopping!
Sweet pictures! Mater sounds like a handful but I’ll bet he is a sweetheart. So glad you gave them both a home and that they have fun together.
Oh yeah… he likes to be loved on… I think he thinks he is little like my other two instead of the 50 pounds he really is! 😀
Aren’t they gorgeous. My husband had a dog when we first met, but I’ve always been a bit scared of them ! My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/zAoio
I have always had dogs growing up…. love having them around.
Bear With Me…love a good dog story ending♫ Happy Weekend♥
Same to you 😀
I didn’t realize Mater was so young! He’ll grow out of (and be trained out of, of course) some of that mischievous energy. So cute!
Thanks Hannah, he was rescued at 2 months old and lived at the veterinarians until they got him to full health. Born in March. He has been through so much but shows no signs of it now 🙂
Which is awesome!
Love the pics of your canine family and the green background too!!
Thanks Lori… playing with the blog again 😀
You’re very sweet to rescue these pups. And I just want to squeeze your baggle 😀
LOL…. I love calling him a Baggle!
They are both adorable – I love that you have taken in rescues and strays – so many dogs need a good home.
They are so cute! Too bad about the book losses though.
Our daughter has a beagle. Buster likes to sleep next to me in the sofa.And barks a lot to anyone who walks in front of the house.
Very nice photos.
Okay, I want a Mater! Seriously, they are both adorable, but that Mater really tugs at my heart strings. He’s worth the trouble, isn’t he? 😉
They’re both so cute. They may have had a rocky start, but they’ve landed on their feet at your house.
