Tyson's Homecoming

Tyson Had his first school dance date last weekend. His date was Lauren, a very cute, tall & talented volleyball/basketball player from Roy High. They looked very cute/handsome.




The kids just don't do dinner and the dance anymore. Tyson's group consisted of 7 couples. They went paint-balling early in the day and then took their dates home to get ready for the evening portion of the date where they joined up with another 8 couples totaling 30 people in their group for dinner at Ruby River and the Dance.
They all went to Roy High's football field so us parents could grab some pictures. Tyson says he had a great time and my truck returned to me without any damage. :)

A Bad Week

After month's of toiling about this decision, we came to the conclusion that it would be best is we found new homes for our boys, Barklee & Taylor. For reason's which I won't bother you with we put a couple of ads on KSL Classifieds. I was amazed by the response. It went very fast. Within 1 day of putting up the ads we had over 800 hits and dozens of messages. We sifted through the interested applicants and invited several to our home to meet the dogs and to interrogate them. :) Barklee ended up going to a cute young family from Clinton who had been wanting a Yorkie for some time but couldn't afford the upfront cost of one. Taylor ended up going to a couple from Taylorsville whose last child had just left the nest for college. The husband was very knowledgeable about Danes and had owned several of them throughout his life. When they first showed up to meet Taylor they pulled up in front of our house and Melly came to the top of our stairs looking down into our living room where I was watching the tube. She told me "they're here". Immediately following, as if he understood all that was going on, Taylor let out a moaning noise, that neither Mel nor I had ever heard before, and ran down to my Lazy-Boy and flopped his big head and jowls on my chest right below my chin. I looked at Mel saying "what the crap" half way laughing and half choking back tears as I knew I'd have to answer the door. We love our dogs. I have never developed such a bond with any other dog than I did with Taylor. Especially in only 1 1/2 years. We will miss them terribly but know that they will be well taken care of by their new families.
