Here is a picture of the family when Emma was about 3 months old. Beau was our "first" dog that Brandon and I had (besides what our parents had). He was our first child and we just loved him so much. He looks fierce and tough, but he was a Gentle Giant.
Here is Emma when she was about 5-6 months old with Beau. Everyone was shocked that I let my big dog get that close to my baby, but he was so good with her. I tell you, big dogs are so calm. In my book, they are they way to go! Not that I have a problem with little dogs, they just aren't my cup of tea :)
This is one of the last pictures I had taken of Emma and Beau. Emma was 7 months. The week we took this picture, we found out Beau had cancer and he passed away the day after Emma turned 8 months old; it was only 6 days before that we found out about his cancer. You can tell how sick he is just by looking at him. We miss him so much :(
Here's the next dog we got--Walter. Walter is a "Bug"-Boston Terrier and Pug mix. He is cute, but a little too hyper for my taste. However, Emma loves him and he is very good with her so I tolerate him! ;)
My husband then surprised me with Gertie. She is the red dog and the exact same breed as what Beau was. Let me tell you, even though she is as sweet as Beau was, she is not near as calm! That dog chews up everything in sight!! We got her a month before I had Maddie, so things were a little chaotic during my maternity leave!
Here is Emma and Gertie during naptime. Aren't they sweet?
Here is Maddie with Walter. Right before I grabbed my camera, they were nose to nose and I missed getting it. All well, this picture is pretty cute too!
Last but not least, here is Maddie and Gertie becoming good friends. I just love Maddie's face in these pictures :)
