I’ve always had a close bond with animals and pets. It’s actually not that surprising considering I was raised from a very young age surrounded by horses, dogs, cats, and even chickens. My family was one of those typical farm families and having a dog around was just part of the whole experience.

Now, at this stage of my life, I find that I can’t help but have a close connections with the animals I share my house with. (Trust me… when you have a 135lb Bull Mastiff… it’s more they share the house with me.) But, I really wouldn’t have it any other way.

You’ve seen pictures of Ozzy in the past, when we emasculated that very patient pup by dressing him up as a Lady Bug. But, I don’t think I’ve introduced you to Caesar. He’s a one of a kind, pug/boxer mix that really has spiced up our household and has been a joy in my life for a number of years now.

He has a aura about him that can really get you to treat him with the most silly things. From cheese burgers to Ice cream from Sonic, he’s a true junkyard dog and loves it all.

If you’d care to see more, here’s a link to a gallery of some recent snapshots of these lovable pups.
