Banks and Me

Today Is March 13, 2009 and I am starting to blog about my life with my favorite and constant companion Banks. He is named in memory of my son.

I got Banks March 22, 2003 when he was a mere 2lbs and 8 oz today he is 15 lbs and is a tall little boy.

Little did I know that he would soon turn into one of the best parts of my life. He came into my world when I was at the lowest.

I lost my oldest son Christopher Feb 1999 and since my two other children were grown and had their lives already I was alone.

6 years wonderful years later Banks and I have had many travels and many experiences. I have walked him in 6 below zero weather and I have walked him in 100+ weather . I lived in Cincinnati Ohio when I first got him and where I brought him home to. Now we live in Scottsdale AZ and Seattle WA where my husband works.

Banks is so funny and I cannot imagine my life without him.

He keeps a constant eye on me and is never far from me.

My son Brian loves him so much to and has just about as many affectionate names for him as I do. He definitely rules the house. Banks loves to travel any where from a simple walk to flying for 6 hours on a plane he is always the perfect doggie.

I have given him birthday parties and he has had many great Christmas gifts as well. Before we moved from Ohio he loved going to my daugther's house to play with her doggie Bunker. He always enjoys going back and playing when we visit.

His days are mostly spent following me around and when he wants something trust me he has a very distinct way of telling me so don't tell me dogs cannot speak. Banks can very well.

So that is a little back ground on Banks and I am in hopes to blog about him on an often basis.
