Boys on Bed

Here is a picture of my dogs, Bailey and Baxter, after a long day of swimming at my parents house. I saw the picture of the dog sleeping on the bed which was hanging over the bed and thought that it offered nice symmetry.

My mother was not nearly as pleased as I was with the results. She couldn't believe that I had let two damp dogs on her clean, white bed spread.

It was all in the name of art :-)

P.S.   I have a "sweetie" Jack Russell, Bobbi, whose best friend is a Golden named Molly.

Here's a picture of my dog Baxter coming home from the groomers!  Baxter jumping for joy

Thanks for sharing. I love great family pet stories and seeing photos of dogs enjoying themselves.

Li, thanks for the comment. The names run together when someone is in trouble :-)

Li, Bobbi & Molly sound like a cute couple name. maybe their star couple name would be "Bolly."

Ralph, your dog Baxter looks like one cute and happy puppy! I wish we all got that excited by a hair cut!

08/25/2008 01:49 PM by Lara O'Keefe (McKinney Greens-Golf Course Community) (DR Horton Homes)


Ralph, would you still name your dog Baxter after yelling his name in public? People give me funny looks like I am calling him bad names.

08/25/2008 01:52 PM by Lara O'Keefe (McKinney Greens-Golf Course Community) (DR Horton Homes)


Lara - Great picture.  Gotta love the pups when they are tired out from swimming, running or playing fetch.  thanks for sharing, and if I was your Mom, I would understand. :)

Lara, We don't get too many funny looks when we yell out Baxter's name.  However, someone told us there was a french movie entitled "Baxter" about a murderous dog by that name.  I assured them we didn't name our meek, happy little poodle after the dog in the movie--but at the time it made me wish we had chosen a different name.

Casey, my mom did soften and give them treats anyway. She's a great grandma :-)

08/25/2008 04:58 PM by Lara O'Keefe (McKinney Greens-Golf Course Community) (DR Horton Homes)


Ralph, thank goodness I haven't seen that movie. I like the Baxter in Anchorman with Will Farrell when says to the dog, "Baxter, now you know I don't speak Spanish." My Baxter knows some Spanish :-)

 Chloey on her bed....

 Chloey on my bed lol

Chris, who couldn't love that face? The leopard print is a nice touch :-)~

08/25/2008 09:17 PM by Lara O'Keefe (McKinney Greens-Golf Course Community) (DR Horton Homes)


Lara- While most do love her and her cuteness, some do not just because she is a pitbull mix (pit/boxer). Yes our beds pretty much match, just the opposite lol. Yup thats right I have leopard print on my bed too (and I picked it out not Ashlee)

08/25/2008 10:06 PM by Chris Horton (Horton's Lawn Care L.L.C.)


Chris, at least you are in touch with your inner animal print :-)~

08/25/2008 11:17 PM by Lara O'Keefe (McKinney Greens-Golf Course Community) (DR Horton Homes)


Thank you "Great Shots!"

I've been on AR for about a month and it's my very first featured blog! I reallly do appreciate it :-)

08/25/2008 11:20 PM by Lara O'Keefe (McKinney Greens-Golf Course Community) (DR Horton Homes)


Lara - very nice. What kind of dogs are they?

Ralph - that is a great shot.

Chris - your dog looks adorable.

They all look like great pets. I, myself am scared of dogs.

Tanya, they are Golden Retrievers. You should meet a couple of sweet little dogs and they will win you over eventually.

Baxter Getting Ready for HalloweenHere's a picture of my Baxter getting ready for Halloween.  We took it recently and put it on printed greeting cards to send out to family & friends. 

08/26/2008 04:34 PM by Ralph Thompson - Networking Coach (Networking with BNI & SendOutCards) (SendOutCards)


Ralph, I hate to break it to you, but Baxter doesn't look very scary!

That's a really cute idea for a greeting card. I heard that he works for treats.

08/26/2008 05:05 PM by Lara O'Keefe (McKinney Greens-Golf Course Community) (DR Horton Homes)


Great Title, and I didn't know what to expect within the blog...

Very Cute

09/23/2008 04:42 PM by Mehmet Met Dilsiz (FND Photography)


A classic example of life imitating art. From a guy's point of view, bedspreads can always be washed but moments like that are worth it. Thanks for sharing the pic, Lara!

09/23/2008 09:58 PM by John Novak - Las Vegas and Henderson NV Real Estate (Keller Williams Realty The Marketplace)


John, you are so right! My mom has now forgiven me for letting them on her bed because she has a nice keepsake photo of her grandpuppies!

09/26/2008 06:20 PM by Lara O'Keefe (McKinney Greens-Golf Course Community) (DR Horton Homes)


I don't blame your mom for being upset - but it was worth it.  thanks.

I have always loved that painting! I should just take a picture of my dog when he is sleeping on my bed and hang it on the wall....Have a great weekend.

09/26/2008 10:12 PM by Terrie Leighton (Ferrari-Lund Real Estate)


Terrie, I'm glad you like it. It would make some great art to have your own dog decorating the wall :-)

09/27/2008 12:02 PM by Lara O'Keefe (McKinney Greens-Golf Course Community) (DR Horton Homes)


Georgina, she got over it when I explained that they had just been washed after their swim :-) She had to forgive her only grandpuppies!
