Oliver...makes my heart go pitter pat.....

I love my Oliver doggy...love love love him. He has that sweet face,  those big brown eyes, no back talk EVER, kisses galore, he is ALWAYS glad to see me - even if I just walked up to get the mail, you'd think I was gone for hours?- I have some of my favorite pictures of him...

My family is groaning right now- can you hear them - or at the very least, rolling their eyes. They are jealous of Oliver- that's the plain and simple truth... for that reason I have to protect him constantly. :-)

This is when I first got him. 

He immediately became best buds with Birdie who was only 4 months old at the time.

As you can see above they both grew bigger and the bed did not...

He has the most wonderful face and yes that is a bow- it has dog paws on it

OK I got them a bigger bed.... neither looks too pleased about it

My love...there's only you in my life...

and then there's this... he looks angry..."He's an angry little elf!"

(name that movie people!)

If he could he may have eaten parts of my face off in my sleep. 

But he would NEVER do that. Because he knows I only have his best interest at heart...

Right up until I did this... 

I do not dress up my dog - UNLESS there is a great photo op afterward :-)

He has a "God, please please help me" look on his face doesn't he...

that is not to say my children do not torture him...

see why I have to be so vigilant!

again...just think if the leash weren't attached!!!!!

because if I'm not SUPER careful THIS will happen... 

Birdie lives a dangerous life in the hands of these kids...

This is how I'd like to think they'd care for Oliver in my absence - with love
and all the fresh hamburger and chicken he can eat
Although, if you really look at Denton's expression - she looks like she could - oh never mind I'm imagining things... right?
