The newest Brunke Pet - Bandito the Chihuahua
What a tiny little puppy!
Bandit is the newest member of our family.  He is another long haired Chihuahua -- just 1.8 lbs at 12 weeks of age.  He stole our hearts -- hence the name.  And I realized that I will not be able to found a Chihuahua Resuce Organization ... I'll want to keep them all!
TWO BRUNKE BLACK BELTS
After 3 days of rigorous testing, both my daugher and my husband earned their 1st degree Black Belts in Tae Kwon Do on Saturday, December 14th.  What a thrill.  I was there to watch Caite break most of her 11 boards and bricks! It was AMAZING.  I took some great pictures which are loading on this page.  CLICK on any picture for an enlargement.

"...He noted that first came the date of his birth and spoke of the following date with sadness and tears, then pointed out what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.  For the dash represents all the time that he spent alive on Earth -- now only those who loved him know what that little line is worth. For it matters not how much we own, the cars, the house, the cash.  What matters is how we live and love and how we spent our dash. .."
