Dogs of Proud Spirit

Me with our new boy, Louie. He was found near death on the side of the road and rescued by some very dear friends of ours… we all decided he needed to be at Proud Spirit.

Bessie

Bessie – “We were never sure about her breeding. Not that it mattered. But she looked like something Dr. Seuss would put together; a comical, happy, goofy dog that made you feel good just being around her.” ( From: Chapter 7 in “Dogs”)

Chloe through the door.

Chloe

“Even as I contemplated who I might network with about finding her a home I knew I’d never get a hold of anyone because this dog wasn’t going anywhere. The reason I knew was because of the look on Jim’s face. . . . . We named her Chloe.” From: The Dogs of Proud Spirit

Bessie -The “Welcoming Committee.”

This is Winston, our little pitty/mix. Found him (and his litter mates) dumped in a culvert near our ranch. Got his mates adopted out… but ended up keeping him.

Gunnar – “Gunny”

Ahhhhh . . . lots warmer inside in Dad’s arms
