Shelby Ann Ellis...I love you! You are my world. I want everyone to know how much you mean to me. A boy and his dog...

Today has been so stressful, my mom is in icu, life support, my heart hurts. Last week I found my daughter unconscious, not breathing and had to perform CPR to revive her. I saved her life. Unimaginable to a father and mother. My family is the most important thing to me in this world.

Tonight my heart hurts. I love my wife with all my heart! But where's the love? Its… Continue

So as we go outside for the last time tonight, she hits the grass with those big eyes staring at me saying,  hey dude,  lets play!  I can tell because I see the whites of her eyes.  So...its on...I make chase and the girl starts off doing circles and running laps around the back yard to finish telling me...BRING IT.   Shelby by this time has a softball in her mouth and jumpin like a Mexican bean.  This is fun for me cause its right up my alley.  So I play it smooth like I dont want the…

Be proud of your country and our Military!  My family has served in Vietnam, Desert Storm and our current conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Only their service has granted us our freedoms and I am so proud of the USA! 

Hooray for the USA  Hip Hip Hooray!!!!…

I just wanted to put this out there for myself and others that may be the same.  Ya know, the dog smell.    I just adore the scent of Shelby, clean, of course and also on a daily basis.  Laying with her every night in the bed I tell her how much her daddy loves her,  petting her and giving kisses next to her eyes.  For me, not my wife,  I love her paticular…

Can you believe it,  Today Shelby met her brother.  It was pure joy to see her and Duffy together again.  I do beleive it has been nearly 3 an a half years ago when they left the other pups to find good loving homes.  Duffy was absolutely gorgeous and I, for sure was impressed with his loving family.  They love him as much as I love Shelby Roo.  Duffy,  you are the greatest and love your mom and dad as…

"Do u want to go?  Go with mom and dad?"  Shelby just hops tail up on the sofa and just look away.   Not awful at all just I think she likes to play possum. " Why me, Dad "  My wife and I will just walk to the front door. Her eyes follow but her muzzle will just not move.  Whats the goal Shelby??  Dad just doesnt understand, why?   As the door flies open she will raise her head,  still glued to where she is and then put on the most pitiful face as if she was not invited.

The look on her face is quizzical.  What in the world are we doing?  No furniture, no pictures,  everything smells funny.  Where is everyone??

Everything is out of whack!  For Shelby, she has only had one home and is used to the family routine.  We are remodeling our home to put on the market so we can move back to Oklahoma after school is out.

She looks so sad and it just breaks my heart.  This isnt how she really is...

She isnt ready for change but definitely wants to…

Yesterday I spent about an hour trimming Shelbys feet.  I have to say how Great Shelby is when it comes to grooming.  Her feet look great.  Lots of effort involved on both sides.  She has shown displeasure in the past but with each time, Her Daddy gets better with with experience and Shelbs now is very cooperative. 

    A few hours later, Doodle Dad took her to the beach and She just ran and ran.  With Dolphins only feet away she was in Heaven!   The saltwater from the Atlantic Ocean…

I keep wondering about my Doodle Girl.   Shelby is usually so happy and wanting to play with Daddy.  Its cold outside, yep, in Florida and the temps have just screwed up everything.  I usually sit outside with her and take her for lots of car rides but Its just too cold lately.  Also we have a cat named Cali that was a rescue from our local shelter.  Mom has an awesome repoire with her and Shelby may just thinking that…
