Cousins. Whitney and Toby playing with their cousin Moxie for the first time.

Our first picture of Toby. We hung it all over the neighborhood, but no one claimed him, thank goodness.

   Our four legged family

Dogs are a big part of our lives and these are the dogs that mean the most to us.

Ashley:  Dan's Yellow Lab in New Jersey.  She was adopted from a rescue and is truly the greatest sweetheart ever.  Norm and Agnes having been doing a great job taking care of her, and she's been doing a great job taking care of them as well.

Whitney:  Michelle and Dan's first pup.  Learn more about her on her very own page.

Toby:  Michelle and Dan's second pup.  Learn more about him on his very own page.

Moxie:  Previously D'Artangen, Moxie's first owner had to deploy on short notice, we agreed to take him in, since we knew Lauren and Derek were looking for a little pup of their own.  Six weeks later we were flying to New Jersey for a wedding and Moxie slept the whole flight under the seat in front of us.  We tried our hands at match-making and it seems we're pretty good at it.  The Hodne's now a family of three are living happily ever after.

Copper and Kasey:  Mike and Margaret's pups.  Copper is the oldest and he has grown into one handsome little man.  Kasey, who shares Toby's predisposition to wiggling her butt, is the darling little baby of the Vineyard clan.
