Family Gallery
Although the namesake of my folk art workshop, Springer Spaniel Amos D Bugg, was the only family pet officially connected to the Barnyard Shoppe, there were plenty more family members who deserve recognition even though they didn’t carry so much responsibility! Here’s just a sampling of them! (You might even want to check out some of the animal shenanigans that go on at my house.)
And don't miss meeting all twelve of my adopted dogs, starting with INDIE, who was adopted in November 2006 from English Springer Rescue America. What a handsome little guy!

Special Note:
Beatrice and Amos were the last two in a long list of beloved Springer Spaniels in my family to have been raised from puppies. After Amos died and Beatrice was 13 years old, my sons introduced me to the world of "breed-specific rescue organizations!" I would have never believed that there could be a Springer Spaniel out there without a loving family! What a shocking surprise was waiting for me!
What has followed since my introduction to English Springer Rescue America, Inc., is what some might call a steady flow of rescued Springers into my family. There have been twelve of them since 2006! And yes, all twelve of them were in the family at the same time — along with an assortment of foster dogs along the way that sometimes brought the number of Springers in my house at one time to sixteen! Needless to say, I had to be careful where I walked or sat to make sure I didn't rouse one from a peaceful nap!
