I think he is settled in and comfy here. Hamish still scares him a bit.

Bill is so good ....he always gets me some crazy Easter Candy!

Miss Moxie Easter Sunday So to update..... after Tapas passed away we started to look for a new dog. That space these furry kids hold in your heart is sometimes too difficult to leave empty once they are gone. We knew we wanted another rough coated Jack Russell and that we would definitely rescue one. It took a week (I think) to find the perfect dog(s). Bill scoured Petfinders for Moxie and after reading her story discovered that her father was also available so after about a minute of thought we decided to get them both.

Happy Easter from Mr Max Max is not quite sure about Hamish yet. Hamish is so laid back...he gets along with everyone. Hamish is doing GREAT with them as he always does with any situation...the kitty and Max got into it day one so we are still separating them. We will start integration this week.

The best days

Tapas and Juno in their younger days!

Our little Tapas was laid to rest near her favorite friend KiKi. We are putting apple trees all along that area of the yard to shade them both eventually.

Tapas is really wearing down these days.....on our walk this past weekend Bill had to carry her most of the way. She turns14 this year
