WHERE MY DOGS AT???

I wanted to post some images of the dogs, they are so cute! Most of them are from rescue, but we got Ernie and Samantha from breeders. There is a total of 7 now, in order of appearance (and they do seem to appear out of thin air sometimes!!) the list goes........





JEREMY







The first of the Canine family members, this is definitly a person trapped in a dogs body! He is the eldest of the males and has the market on being"spoiled" cornered! When he wants something he mumbles what sounds like sentences to get your attention. Jeremy turns 13 years old this year, he has been with us since 1999.





SOPHIE





Quite possibly the best dog in the world, Sophie came after Jeremy to be his buddy. Little did the two of them know things would eventually become very crowded. We are not exactly sure of her age since she was a stray but we think she is somewhere around 12 years old at this time. She holds the title of "ALPHA", she gives the orders and everyone listens!





ERNIE




Ernie and I have shared a wonderful bond ever since I found him. He is my little shadow, following me everywhere I go and I am always happy to know he is close behind. He is my cuddle-bear and I always know he is ready for bed when he curls up next to my right side, takes a deep breath and looks at me to turn off the light. I miss him so much.



SAMANTHA

Don't let her size and adorable face fool you! This little bitch (and she can be in every sense of the word) is Sophies #2 Alpha. She bosses around the boys, Ben and myself included! Sammie is almost 7 years old now and as bossy as ever. We call her the little "Hellion" because she is always looking for trouble. I'd be lost with out her, she's really a little Angel!


SPIKE



I drove to Pennsylvania to adopt Spike after I saw him on http://www.petfinder.org/ . I ccouldn't have known what a good boy I was getting until later after he came home with me. Spike was badly abused/neglected and at first tried running away constantly. Once he got comfortable and knew we loved him, he just wants to play all the time.



DINO




Someone passing close to our house found Dino loose on the Street. He brought him to our neighbor, who assumed he was one of ours (logical assumption if you know us), which at the time he wasn't. We tried all the agencies in the area and no one claimed him so we kept him since he fit in so nicely anyway. He's always looking to play and he is the happiest little dog i've met.


HERMAN



Herman, or "Little Monkey Head" as he is called, is the latest addition to the family. He came shortly after I left for Baghdad. I finally got to meet him when I was on my first R&R and it was as if I had always known him. What a little cutie, a tiny guy that likes to play as big as the rest of the pack.
