FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

[Baymule]

Our Lab died a couple months short of 14 in 2011, and it was like losing a member of the family. You get a lot of family history wrapped up in a pet. And I thought that was old! My DH said he didn't want another dog, but our DD and family adopted a Lab/Great Dane mix for him several days afterward. Named Parker, he stole our hearts and is a valued member of the family.

Parker is a sweetheart! Super smart, too! I remember him.

Awww......thank you. He has made the full transition to country dog. He loves the tractor and loves to be up in everything we are doing. He is great with the chickens and sheep, loves the neighbor kids and is a fantastic dog. We love him madly.

That picture doesn't do their size justice since they're both enormous.

Our neighbor lady has 3 boys. They were over here one day and she got onto her 2 year old, scolding him. Parker quickly got between them and growled a low warning at her. My husband started to fuss at Parker, but she stopped him. She was impressed that our dog would protect her baby. She spoke sweetly to her son and Parker liked her again.

We have named the bottle baby.

Gar.

For Simon and Garfunkle.

She's still stunted, but.... look how cute....

Also, the peacocks are still here. I'm thinking Sonny and Cher.

I love to hear peafowl.

Well, Maddie and Connie were going crazy this morning. Couldn't figure out why they wanted in so bad. John sent me this about two hours after I left for work. Apparently the piglet was cold and they had curled up around her and snuck her inside to warm up.

This is why I love my guardians.

Awww.... that is so sweet. Doesn't it make you want to rush home from work and give 'em a big hug?
