For all the *actual* dog lovers out there...

I've got 3 dogs! =D I am actually planning on joining a police force dog unit because I love dogs and training dogs SO MUCH! May as well mix my two biggest passions - crime and doggies!!!!!

My eldest furbaby is a 6 year old terrier/poodle with a little-dog complex. SUPER attitude with this one, but she's super nice when she wants to snuggle. Still working on the food aggression. I consider her my step-baby since she came with my fiance who knew NOTHING about training a dog, so she has serious aggression and was very possessive about him. Now, she tolerates me.

My middle furchild is an adoptee from the Prince Albert, Saskatchewan humane society. Her name is Kira and she's a beautiful 4 year old border collie cross. Super smart. She's my wizz kid!!! Picks up on EVERY trick I teach her within 5 minutes. No joke. Probably too smart, but oh well. She is a daddy's girl and gets far more excited about my fiance coming home than me, lol. Oh well.

My youngest is a 1 and a half year old, 100lb black german shepherd named Bear. At a little over a month old, he wandered into my yard and decided to stay, so we kept him. Didn't think he'd grow up to be as huge as he is, or have as sweet of a temperment as he does. Even though he's under 2 years old, he's so calm. He's wonderful with children (let's my nieces ride him around the house), will NEVER bite, and rarely barks except to talk. He's also an absolute dream to walk - stays right beside you (I'm taking credit for that, but I'm sure his temperament had something to do with it). He's MINE! Haha. Loves wrestling with his daddy, but at the end of the day, he'd rather lay in bed with me than watch my fiance play video games, lol. Everyone loves him, too. Such a sweet personality. A gentle giant to the core.

My Husband and I have a 3 1/2 year old Boxadore named Cinder that we absolutely love and spoil to death. I take her everywhere with me. She loves car rides, walks/running, the dog park, swimming and just cuddling up on the couch with mommy and daddy acting like a lap dog (meanwhile she is 65 pounds). She is the center of our world! I Love My Baby

I have two Doberman's Ava & Raven. I had to put Diesel my red Doberman down this past Thanksgiving. I am still heart broken. I have 1 cat Sphynx and 2 horses Hobo & Shy. I really, really miss my Diesel & feel as though my heart breaks each & everyday that I get up and he is not there.:sad:

Aww, I can totally understand. =( My first furbaby, Echo, was 6 months old when she was hit by a car. I still miss her. You never really get over it, honestly.

love my dogs more than most people!

We have 3 dachshunds, Thelma and Louise (sisters) and Ceasar. We call them "the vandals". I also have a golden retriever mix named Speck. I got her from an ex boyfriend, some stray had puppies in his dog's dog house. When she was about a year old, a neighbor shot her, (she escaped the fence) and one of her hind legs had to be amputated. It has not slowed her down all these years. She is my bestest buddy, ever. I also have a cat Edie, who hates all who do not feed her. I would post pics, but I am not at home right now

edited to say,, OHHH, that's Speck in my ticker.....DUHHHH

Thank you, Thank you

I love my dachshund ( <

there he is! He loves the camera)

He has a million aliases, and responds to whatever you want to call him (Wiener, Beaner, Beanbag, GUY!, Hairy Son, Hugh Mann, etc.) but we refer to him as George Clooney because he's so damn dapper.

He is my everything. I can talk to him like a human and he understands. He seriously thinks he's a human. So much so that he insists on wearing stupid sweaters and gets upset if you try to undress him. I've caught him trying to dress himself even.

I just wish he knew how to use a phone so that I could call him and ask him how his day is going.

I think I'm going to seriously have a heart attack when he leaves. But I'm hoping by that time (he's turning 4 next month), that they'll have invented some sort of invincible-treatment for dogs.

I really hate to see parvo being so much around here. Dexter got ill the day before we were supposed to drive to north carolina to get him. Of course we paid the 700 for the treatment - we had already fallen in love with him. He made it, but there are plenty who don't. .

Same with us, we got Sampson aka Sambo from our neighbor who had a litter and about a week after we got him he got Parvo and it cost us around $500 but thank goodness he made it thru!! He is part Beagle and Sheepdog (cutest thing, looks like a Terrier, LOL)
