Riding to Grandma's

Happiness is the wind at your face and a good meal on the horizon. Legolas demonstrates how to simulate the wind (just face the air vent) on the drive to Grandma's for Thanksgiving dinner. Leggy is a good car-rider and is always ready to go. From the nose prints on my window you know Leggy spends his car time looking out the window.




He enjoys trying different kinds of dog food. Grandma has two dogs - Dallas and Buck. Leggy eats so much of their food that he barely remembers the Kansas City Chiefs beating the Denver Broncos - http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/recap;_ylt=Ar3LEGvjk0RhExh3jHLyaJaK2bYF?gid=20061123012&prov=ap

A Few Extra Hours in Memphis

What would you do with a few extra hours? Well, Legolas votes to spend his time at Shelby Farms. New friends are easily made as Leggy runs freely in the large fenced in areas of the park.


When his little legs tire of running, Leggy enjoys laying in the grass and watching the landscape. Horses, dogs and humans co-exist in this wonderland.

Leggy's Sleepover

Today I picked Leggy up from his sleepover. Lucky and Pee Wee’s parents had taken a couple of pictures that illustrate the kind of friendship between the dogs. Here all three dogs are watching football and wondering why the Colts are losing.

During commercial breaks they do what all football watchers do – go looking for snacks (called treats if you are a four-legged TV watcher).

A Night Without Leggy

Well, last night Leggy went to a sleepover with his friends Pee Wee and Lucky. It was strange to have the extra space in the bed. I can remember thinking that people were crazy to let their dogs sleep with them. Now, I'm a convert - full blown dog cuddler.

I'm going out of town for the day to a state cheer championship where four legged children are not admitted. So sad. I have great friends who love Leggy too and take the best care of him when I am away. (Leggy makes friends easily. He must be a sales-type.) You'll hear about Leggy's adventure tomorrow.

Westie World

Growing up my family had dogs – big and small, various colors and personalities. My job as a member of my family and partial caretaker for our dog-of-the-day was to pick up the “daily deposit”. Therefore, as the years went by my only thought of dogs was stinky work.

So you have to ask – What made you change your mind? How did you move from “dog tolerator” to “dog lover”? The singular answer is Legolas. His namesake is an elf character from the movie Lord of the Rings played by Orlando Bloom. The white pointed ears are unmistakably elfin.

As silly as it might sound, not a day goes by when I do not think to myself, “How did I ever find such a fun, easy going, happy dog?” My husband says that Leggy (aka Legolas) is a reflection of my love and caring of him. (You know you have a great husband when he can hit the nail on the head like that!)

Leggy is inspiring even to the point that I have enjoyed making my blog site for BU e-Commerce class. I felt excitement as I created this site knowing that I would finally have a spot to talk about Leggy. (You know, you can only tell friends, family and co-workers so much about your dog before they start running away when they see you coming.)

I invite any and all willing readers to beginning the daily journey through Leggy’s life. Hopefully you will see a glimpse of what I see.
