My husband and I live out in the country near a small rural town.  We are very blessed with a 6 year old son and my daughter from a previous marriage.  Our home consists of  an old farm house built in 1847 along with 3 + acres. (always something to fix or remodel) but the original hard wood floors and 11 foot ceilings make it worth while.
My husband (Kenny), is a heavy machine operator and I am a stay at home mom to my son and the bloodhounds.

My hobbies include scrapbooking and SAR work. Kenny enjoys hunting, racing and fishing.  Together we are activelly involved with PTO and coaching our sons baseball team.

We are a very family oriented group with family members, friends and lots of children always coming and going.

Our dog family is just as important to us and include Belle,  Clairebelle, Anniebelle, Clyde, Ivybelle, Yeti, Red Girl and Jake.  However, don't hold me to just them. I also rescue bloodhounds and it seems there is always one needing to find a new home.  With that in mind please consider your decision of bringing in a puppy or dog wisely.  It is a life long commitment with joyous rewards.  You really can't have a bad day with a bloodhound around.  I say they are like pototo chips. ":you just can't have one"

So Sit, Stay, Relax and enjoy the website and music.

Sincerely,
Tia Gross

Every puppy should be so lucky to have a walk on the beach in Chicago.  Thanks for sharing this beautiful picture.
This is a picture of my son and one of the babies. He loves getting his picture taken with them and playing with all of them when they get a little older.
