Meet Toby…
Wow! What a week it was at our house…
One I hope we don’t have to repeat anytime soon.
It had nearly everything to do with our schnauzer Toby…
…out sweet little fella we are kind of crazy about.
Good morning Friends! I thought you might like to see a chicken coop being built from scratch at 12 Oaks Blog. I’ve been reading Ben and Amanda’s complete home makeover this past year or so, and this week they are sharing their adorable backyard chicken coop, along with what it’s been like to raise six chickens and enjoy really fresh eggs. I’ve noticed chicken coops have made a big comeback lately and sure can see why!
You can read about the coop, view their photos of the process and see their cute chickens at this link: Our Backyard Chicken Coop by 12 Oaks Blog
I hope you enjoy the read and will leave a comment for me with your thoughts about the coop and the whole idea of raising chickens from home.

It will look great on a wall near your pet’s sleeping or eating area, also mixed in with a collage of family photos, or on a table near an entry door. I was inspired to draw this rendering of our Toby when I saw these custom pieces of art here. When I like a piece of art in a magazine, I like to Continue reading
Okay, he’s not just my dog… Toby is our family dog.
And we adore him.
Our miniature schnauzer is 2-1/2 years old and we fell in love the moment we held him in our arms at just 8 weeks old. He is special to us for many reasons…
He is our sons’ first dog.
He makes us smile and laugh every single day.
Mornings are like a holiday when Toby meets us at the bottom of the staircase, or at the door after a long day. He greets us with squeals and jumps and demands for hugs and rub downs before we get two steps by him.
He never fails to lavish us with love.
And we didn’t think we would have him for long. Continue reading
