Alex!

It seems we have a lack of space on this little Blog for our original "child", Alex. So, here is the Wonder Dog in England! Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Rough Neighborhood!

This morning, as I was enjoying the quiet of a toddler yet still sleeping and enjoying my coffee, I was startled to hear the sudden shrieking and frantic squealing coming from just outside the living room window. Upon inspection, I was fascinated and horrified to witness a brutal killing outside my window. I stood there speachless as I watched the cold-blooded ruthlessness of the attacker and felt hopelessness as I my eyes were subjected to the sheer terror on the face of the doomed victim. I couldn't believe I was witness to this. I was able to get a few pitcures taken, but I am afraid that all but one turned out well enough to be posted. Here is just a glimpse of what I saw...

Murder!
