    Two German Shepherds and a Labrador retriever.

    The oldest GSD came with my husband. He sort of ended up with him. The second we didn't "choose", he is a working dog. My Lab i picked because my ex didn't want a GSD, but I am very happy with him. I mostly wanted a running partner.

    I have a Chihuahua and an Italian Greyhound now, but the one I miss every single day is the beautiful Isabella, a Sloughi:

    We have a Chihuahua mix named Mochi. His ears are fully up now and not floppy like they were below. Totally miss the floppiness! He (along with his siblings) were the accident/product of a puppy mill over in MO. I used to dislike small dogs and discounted them as not being 'real dogs' because they weren't 50 lbs + but I've grown to love them all! Like a big dog, Mochi loves to fetch (and will actually bring the ball back every single time), does dock diving and swimming, and is involved with flyball. He's ridiculously intelligent and is the reason why I started to exercise more! And go out in general haha.

    we rescued a dog named Penny. She's a shepherd/lab cross and about 2 years old. She is my fur baby for sure. I didn't choose her though, my fiance saw a poster up "free dog" and texted me to ask if I wanted her. Of course I wanted her. Best decision ever, minus the fact that she runs away when the gate is open (not for very long), she is very well behaved and beautiful.

    It's a Western Hognose, much prettier than the Eastern Hognose which are a dark blackish-brown color. I bought him at a reptile show when he was a baby. He was about 6 inches long and about as big around as a pencil. I have had him close to 10 years and he's a little over 12 inches now and about as big around as a sharpie. He's a cool little guy.
  • Dakota and Nikita are German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mixes.

    Her name is Penny, and she's a shepherd/lab cross. I didn't choose her, my fiance saw a "giving away for free" poster and he asked if I wanted her. I immediately said yes and she has become my fur baby.

    Chihuahua-X

    Not sure what the "X" is... some sort of terrier, pomeranian maybe?

    I never thought I'd ever get a chihuahua, I thought they were terrible animals! But after my last dog died, I volunteered to foster dogs. I was brought two little chi mixes. They had obedience training, they were so sweet, I fell in love and adopted them myself! One passed away a few months ago (RIP Brahma, the black one) but the other one is still healthy and strong (Darshan, the orange one).

    Thanks! He's a super high energy dog. I'm not sure if Chihuahuas can normally run as much as he does, but we're thinking he's some type of terrier mix due to his extremely high prey drive and love for fetching. Our vet thinks he's an Italian Greyhound or Whippet mix due to his energy level and stomach curvature haha. I'd like to do a DNA test (I know they can be pretty whacky/inaccurate) just for the fun of it!

    You can't have spaces in the file name. So if it were (example) Penny the dog....change it to PennyTheDog

    Kuma's the complete opposite...lol. She's 2-3 years old and the most low energy dog I've ever come across. she likes to play now and again, but prefers just laying about..hahaha. I never thought I'd have or know a dog that I'm more active than..hahaha

    We have a Boxer who will be 1 in 2 weeks.she is as ADHD as I've ever seen a dog!! Got her at 7 months, her owner wanted her for a guard dog and left her crated 99% of the time. Luckily he got some sense and gave her away. Wealways wanted a Boxer but had a hard time finding pure bred. She is pictured to the left. Her name is Charlie

    Also have a merliquin Great Dane named Echo, he just turned 3 last week. He believes he is human and is very spoiled. Currently weighs in at 140 lbs ???? we had another Dane We had to put down due to hip issues so we got him! He is pictured in my profile.

    Emma is a rescued 7 year old black lab mix of some sort, and the fussiest eater I've ever had. I have to rotate her food, because she gets bored with the same thing more than about three days. However, the whole neighborhood knows and loves her.

    I have a mini dachshund and a rat terrier... both were rescues at different time that almost literally fell in my lap. They are best friends and both think they rule our house... which they kind of do.

    Belle- Black Lab, princess of the world, thinks she deserves only the best and wants everyone to do it her way, including her two "sisters"

    Her two sisters:

    Sophie- Rottweiler, she came to live with us when our Yellow Lab died and Belle took the death of her brother very hard, we were very close to putting her on anti-depressants. Then Sophie would come over to play, one day she stayed. She belonged/belongs to our friends so she has 2 mommy's and daddy's and 2 houses but lives here full time. I will never not have a Rott again. I love Rott's they are the biggest babies in the world! Sophie has OCD, watches TV, and sits on the back of the couch like our cats do. She sometimes thinks she's a cat.

    Coco- Brindle Boxer/German Shepherd mix. Coco was a rescue. She was adopted by my husband at a truck stop in So. Calif. The shelters take their last chance doggies out there to be adopted. Smart idea! Companions for truck drivers! Coco is a big sweety, she was abused for the first 12 mos of her life spending most of it in a crate. She's a runner, and if she starts after a deer, it's all over with, she's gone. We've got to get out on the 4 wheelers and start searching the woods for her. Otherwise, a pretty good girl with some issues that we're working on.

    Maisy- Our big fat cat. She believes she's Alpha dog in this pack. No one has the heart to tell her she's not. If the dogs are playing with the kitten and she thinks it's going a little too rough for her taste she'll run into the fray and start telling the dogs off. They will stop, walk away, and go lay down. Not even I can do that!

    Nahla- Our baby cat. She's also a rescue, but from here in Wisconsin. She's very tiny and looks like a kitten even though she's almost 2 years old. She doesn't realize she's a very small kitten with 3 very large dogs, or she doesn't care because she's always teasing them and play attacking them.

    My house is dog/cat hair and drool. I clean every day. I wouldn't have it any other way. I love all my girls.
