#2. Say hello to the best decision I've ever made in my life

#3. This little guy started hanging around my brother while he was working on a car. I believe it’s an American Kestrel. Which means my brother made friends with... a falcon

#12. So, Cassidy (my daughter) was snuggling Elsa (our rescue pup) under her hoodie. I walked into the room and asked "Where's Elsa?" Well, Elsa tried to get to me.....guess which hole of the hoodie she tried to use??

#13. This is what rescued looks like

#14. Most of our friends don't believe we have a cat. We don't see him much either as he mostly hides behind the bed. Today, while I was working, he was brave enough to come out for pets. This is my 15 year old cat, Elwood

#15. This is Billie. She never understood why I had a set of keys to bring in the car and she didn't. I got her a set of her own and now she insists on bringing them anytime we go for a drive!

#16. True love
