Mamie’s First Day Home

Mamie Eisenhower Walker all cleaned up

We are wishing a Happy 1 year Anniversary today to Mamie. It was one year ago that we adopted her. She came in and immediately took over our life and hearts. What a little sweetie.

This link will take you to Mamie’s album on Facebook where you can see many more photos of this sweet girl over the course of this past year. And of course, I have painted her and you can see that here.

All About Jed!

It was 3 years ago today that we drove over to Ohio in a snow storm to pick up our boy Jed. He was at a shelter in St. Clairsville, Ohio, after being picked up as a stray and he had been with them for several months.

The minute I saw his photo on Petfinder.com I knew he was meant to be with us. He looked so much like my beloved, Jeffie, that I had to go get him. (Did I mention that it was snowing like crazy?!) More here about how we got Jed.

This first photo is one I took the first day he came to live with us. I also had Truman at the time and Tru was not thrilled with the addition. I was hoping they would be good buddies the way Truman and Jeffie were but that never panned out.

One of Jed’s favorite spots is in front of the fire. He has turned into a really sweet and loving boy and we are so glad it worked for him to be ours.

And he makes a great painting model. I’ve done several paintings of him including my favorite that you can see here.

And when Lincoln came to live with us, Jed got his best buddy. They play till their tongues hang out!
