SHOW ME YOUR K-9'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this is already being done, but I want to see pictures and I want to hear stories!!!!!

Show me your furbabies! Tell me your stories! How did you get them? Did you get them as a pup or a full grown adult? Tell me about their personalities. Everything! I LOVE DOGS!!!

In fact, I love them so much that I HAVE FOUR!!!! =D =D =D

My eldest is an 8 year old terripoo named Tugs. She is my old, grumpy b*tch. I was never a fan of terriers, but she came with my fiance, lol. I LOVE my big mutts, but she's (figuratively) grown on me in the past few years. She came to me with serious food aggression, people possessiveness (I couldn't hug my fiance without a growl), and a generalized fear aggression. She had no confidence whatsoever. Oh, and her walking was HORRIBLE!!!!

Now, three years later and through lots of trial and error, she's still got some attitude, but in general she's a much happier dog. And, okay, I love my step-furbaby, lol.



My second dog is Kira. She's a 6 year old border collie. She's my first rescue - timid and nervous (especially around men and children) but she is my wizz kid. SO! FREAKING! SMART! And she's a cuddle bug. Will do anything for snuggles.

Her 'thing' is at night - when we go to bed, she's on the floor. We NEVER hear her or feel her when she gets on the bed in the middle of the night, but somehow, she shows up snuggled between us in bed. =P

My pretty lady:



And my pride and joy (don't tell them I have favorites...) is my 2 year old German Shepherd named Bear. He literally showed up on my doorstep as a 6 week old puppy and decided he didn't want to leave. I also didn't have a humane society in the area at the time, so we kept him. Two and a half years later, he is the kindest, gentlest giant that I have ever met. My nieces can grab his collar and 'drag' him around the house, and he's perfectly content with it. I do dog safety presentations at schools, and I bring him with me...once, when I wasn't looking, a three year old walked over to him and was literally pulling on his tail, his ears, putting his hand down Bear's throat...and Bear did NOTHING. He was completely okay with it.

My baby Bear:



Aaand finally, the newest addition to my little family: STETSON!

We picked him up from the humane society, and at this exact moment, he is doing laps up and down my hallway. This little ball of energy is about four months old (on August 11th he'll be 4 months), and he has so much piss and vinegar in him that my dog training skills are definitely being put to the test. He's not a cuddler, and would rather be chasing a ball than sitting on the couch for any extended period of time, but I think he's the perfect addition to our little family.
