Long time

It's been such a long time since I've had time to be on the forum and how I have missed it. Raising two boys and two male sheepdogs has been more time consuming than I had ever imagined. I will start with the furry friends update. Barkley turned 5 in August, is weighing over 90 pounds and still thinks he is a soccer goalee by trade and a retriever by sport. I believe he has a very large vocabulary and can tell time. Wrigley turned 3, which means we have owned him longer than his original family. We adopted Wrigley when he was 18 months old from a family on this forum. He's been an incredible addition to our family. He's super naughty, still so full of puppy energy and believes that our son's toys also belong to him. However, with his naughtiness....you could sit on his head and he wouldn't hurt a fly, he's always up for a good cuddle (sometimes in between my hubby and I) and loves to play with other dogs at our nearby dogpark. Wrigley is a dog's dog and less human than our Barkley is.
Our oldest son is 3 and a half already, turning 4 in December and adores our sheepdogs and going to the nearby dogpark as often as possible. He usually will go up to people, ask which dog is theirs, whether their dog likes kids and if so, proceed to pet them. Then he shares with people that he has two old english sheepdogs named Barkley and Wrigley.
Our baby, Kieran is 15 months now and it's difficult to say whether he will be as much of an animal lover as the older one. He's mostly annoyed when the dogs try to share one of his stuffed toys!
Anyway, I have missed keeping up with all of you and am going to try to make more of an effort. We have missed sheepiepalooza for the past couple of years but would love to resume our attendance next year.
Doreen, Christopher, Barkley, Wrigley, Dolan and Kieran

Hi Doreen!!! :D :D

Thanks for the update. Sounds like you and Chris are super busy. I still picture Dolan as a baby :oops:
If you get a chance, post some picture update of the whole gang. I'm so happy you have baby Keiran :D :D
Don't be such a stranger. :wink:
Wow, what a great update!

Nice to have you around.
