So many people think you have to have kids to be complete. Many people love to share stories about their kids and share every little thing they think is so cute and adorable. I may not have human children, but I do have four dogs who are a lot like kids!! I think I will share some of my stories about my "children" from time to time too. People may think I am weird and many people think they are "just animals".... but spend some time with an "animal" and learn a few things. Each of my dogs have their own distinctive personalities! Today I will introduce you to my cast of characters....... I have Bear - the old man who just wants some love and a comfortable place to sleep...and don't forget to keep the food and water bowls full. He was born in our closet afterwe got his mother from the Humane Society - we had to find her another home because she got way too nuts! - but Bear has been with us for over 13 years! Then we have Nikki who we rescued when she was 6 months old. She had been thrown out like garbage alongside a road when someone found her and turned her over to the Humane Society. It took a long time before we could walk her anywhere near any traffic.....she used to be a real brat, but she has matured with
age - she has been with us now for 7 years! She is definate about what she wants... and don't bother her about going outside in the morning - she will let you know when she is ready to rouse from the bed and go out to potty (usually around 9 or 10am!). She also lets you know when it is time to go to bed at night. We also have Paddi (short for Paddi-Whack).... he was unusually aloof when we first got him, but now he loves attention and hugs. He has become the protector. Unfortunately for him, he is also our youngest dog's favorite playmate!! The baby, Daisy, is our only dog that is not a Humane Society rescue. She is our miniature Schnauzer and thinks everything and everyone belongs to her!!! She guards the toys and bones and lets the others know when they can have them. She is so much like a little 2 yr old child...has her temper tantrums, hogs the bed, and wants attention when she wants it!! She is the only one of our dogs who loves to sleep on her back...sprawled out on our bed! She will be 2 years old on December 23rd.
Well, that is our brood....... they entertain us a lot and annoy us some too. The best thing about having dogs instead of kids....when they really get annoying we can always put them outside in the pen! Try THAT with a child !! lol
