Come dance the joy of life

And leave a memory to keep.

We are looking for homes for our Mom's Doggies

As many of you know our mom, Petey, had two wonderful doggies, Bridger and Einstein. Both of them are mixed breeds, rescued with tragic pasts. They have overcome lots and lived happily in their stable home together with Petey until last year when she was too sick to live alone and moved in with Courtaney who lives in a complex that has certain pet guidelines.

Our dad (Chad) took them so she could see them as often as possible until she got better. Now it is a year later and he has three of his own dogs plus two cats (one is mom's) and taking on two more permanently is just unfair for these two
creatures. I also thought about taking them, but I have two dogs, two children, and a cat and felt that they need someone who is not already
stretched thin.

Bridger and Einie are very different. Bridger is 6 years old. He is black and white and comes up to about your knee. He is quiet, easy going, and
submissive. He loves to play, kids, people, walks, and gets along well with other dogs and cats.

Einstein is also around 6 years old. He has the softest medium brown coat and sort of looks like an overgrown hot dog. He is highly insecure and will follow you everywhere. He will become your best friend guaranteed. He would be ideal for someone with no other pets. Maybe an older couple or single person would be good. He loves to go for walks and he loves to belong and be a part of that person's life. He wants to take part in what they are doing. He loves his dog bed but he is not too concerned about toys.

Bridger's photo is below and other pictures of the two of them are posted in the photo gallery of this website.

They are both updated on all shots. If you are interested in either or both of these wonderful babies please call Chad at 770-953-2389 before Sept 2.

Thank you!
