Where once we were picking up G.I. Joes, Transformers and Tonka Toys, we now make the rounds gathering dollies, balls and chewies that need to be re-introduced to their respective holding areas. Little hand prints no longer need to be washed off doorways, but paw prints have been seen around doorways and occasionally on rugs. One comparison I can't make is leftovers made by our kids to those made by the dogs...our pack never leaves a morsel even a mouse could appreciate once they're finished eating!

Our living areas that the outside world can see are all normal, graced by pictures and other decorations that one would expect in a home such as ours. But, venturing into our finished basement presents an entirely different vista, one that perhaps only a dog lover would understand.

Here, one can find pictures of dogs (nothing tacky), two three-tiered shelves with small statues of our friends and assorted other memorabelia we've collected over the years that suit our fancy. Entering this realm makes one feels as if they've wandered into the envirorns of individuals who really, truly love dogs. How true that is.

Our mailbox cover says a lot about our interests in life:
