Foot Fettish Friday No. 5: Puppy Love

In honor of my beloved sidekick who has seen me at my worst during the deployment I give you Puppy Love.
Sgt. Major, now 2 1/2 years old, so I guess he is no longer a puppy, offered me a "paw" for this week's Foot Fettish Friday. The quotes were sent by a fellow stitcher in one of my Yahoo! Groups. Enjoy ...


We give dogs time we can spare,
space we can spare and love we can spare.
And in return, dogs give us their all.
It's the best deal man has ever made.

Here's my "not so little" guy. At nearly 65 lbs. and less than two feet tall, this English bulldog can be a "bully" when it comes time to eat. Unfortunately, he also thinks he is a lap dog and I have the bruises to prove it. Since George's deployment he has taken to leaning against me, if not completly across my back when he sleeps in the bed with me. My chest and has gotten quite a workout in the past few months as I lift the additional weight with every breathe. But really, who wouldnt want to be greeted with this kind of enthusiasm every time they walked through the door.
