I found some old pictures of the dogs in my history. At least since digital cameras and scanners were available. So the oldest picture dates back to 1995, I think.
(1995) Humphrey my basset hound and Maya the cat (she is still with us)
Humphrey is a girl, but I thought basset hounds looked like Humphrey Bogart, so therefore the name. She was born in 1989 and lived to be 14.5 years old. The day after she passed away, I brought home my first cavailer - Pippin on Feb. 1, 2004 (3 years ago this weekend).
Austen my Viszla was born June 1996 - He was absolutely fabulous off-leash on walks in the woods. This picture was from 1999. He was named after one of my favorite authors, Jane Austen.
July 2004 - Only 5 months after getting Pippin. Look how good my 2 boys are. (Pippin was 10 months old in this pic).
This was the Fall or later in 2004 - This is when I went over the edge and got my 3rd dog. Up to this point in my life, I had either one dog at a time or two. I also had 2 cats. I think I crossed an invisible boundary in Aug. 2004 when I brought home Merry at 2 months old. Austen liked Pippin, but thought Merry was too much. This is Austen, Merry & Pippin.
Lastly, this is May 2005. Austen had passed and I had moved out to the country and had a dog fence, dog door and dog room built for my lovely cavaliers. Here are Merry and Pippin aged 11 months and 21 months old respectively, in their new dog area.
