It’s Official!
Well folks, after much deliberation, careful consideration, a thousand discussions and three sheets of notebook paper we have officially named our newest family member. So without further adieu, I am pleased to affectionately introduce, Harley Hesenflow.
Now an 8-week old Boston Terrier Terror, he has found a way into our hearts, I mean c’mon, just look at that face, how could you not just love him.
While Sarasota is still a bit standoffish about her new pint-sized brother, she is indeed warming and tolerating the youngin’ jumping in her face and biting her tail.
We sure enjoy him, we hope you do too. Click here to catch a few more photos.
Coming Home Soon
We had an opportunity to visit with our yet unnamed Boston Terrier yesterday, and he certainly has grown quite a bit. From looking like a little guinea pig on our last visit to a now 4 pound mischievous critter.
We officially get to bring him home next Sunday, July 15, something to which we are all looking forward.
So until then, enjoy a few photos of our new little guy over in the photoblog.
Happy 4th of July
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. Continue Reading »
