Best Friends Come In All Shapes And Sizes.
Sometimes things get so hard, scary, and painful that its hard to be positive. However, these two usually cheer me up. They are rescue puppies, the owner wanted to kill them, but I could not stand the thought. I brought them home and the rest is history. They are no particular breed, I call them my hillbilly mutts.
