    1. I LOVE this picture of you and the family! Awesome smiles and beautiful dog..just kidding :) I really do love the pic though! XXOO

    2. Who takes a family picture with a dog that doesn’t belong to them……really guys???? HAHA, it is 5a right now and I am waiting to catch a flight for a business trip so I thought I would check out the website. You seriously have to remove the “heard in the Dare house” comments…..These people in the airport have to think there’s something wrong with me for laughing so loud so early in the morning, HILARIOUS. I hope all is well.

      • What’s up Adam! Thanks for swinging in to the ole blog. You and Shanna will have one any day now. I can see it. You guys aren’t busy at all and have lots of time to kill…much like us…and will need something to keep you busy. If you want us to reserve your URL name for you, let me know. How does “twonewlywedsinIda.wordpress.com” sound? Or was that Ada? I’ll never get that right.

        Anyway, about Louie, my Sister’s dog, slipping into the family picture down in Tennessee. I think this is a clear indication that he obviously isn’t happy in his own home. Kids do this too. When they are being abused or neglected by their parents, they glom onto some other family that gives them identification and a sense of purpose, appreciation and love. Louie is a classic case. Being a Mexican immigrant from Chihuahua is tough enough, but with your owner gone all the time, working for the Marine Corp and the rest of your caretakers not having enough time to play fetch with the mini-stick, it gets lonely. Enter the Dare family, visiting for Thanksgiving. They wrestle with me, they run around the house with me, they laugh at all my jokes. Why can’t my family be more like this?

        I’m sure these were at least some of Louie’s thoughts right before he jumped into the shot above.
        Who can blame him. I’d do the same thing. Heck, I used to do the same thing. Ask your Mom to send you some old Donovan family shots. See how many of them I snuk into? Sometimes I still lie awake at night wishing I was the fourth D boy. Donovan, not Dare.

        History repeats itself, I guess. :)

        Happy Flying, cous!
