    I have 2 beautiful babies!

    4 year old (in March) Westie named Roscoe. He's just the sweetest, smartest little guy in the world. He's so expressive too. I feel like he answers me back when I talk to him. He's very, very smart. When he wants to play, he'll decide what toy he is going to get from the basket before he gets there. We watch him take toys out and put them back in until he finds the one he wants. It amazes me every time. I also maintain that he has medicinal puppy cuddles. Whenever I'm feeling sick, he will come and nuzzle into my tummy. It makes me feel better instantly. Fun fact: he's named after the famous LA waffle house "Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles", and responds to "Mr. Chicken Waffles." He absolutely hates socks for some reason and will literally steal them off of your feet, and shake the bejeesus out of it. We don't mind, it's adorable.

    4-5 year old rescued schnauzer/yorkie mix named Emma. She was abused, and in really rough shape when we got her as a companion for Roscoe last year. It's been amazing to watch her grow into a personable, playful and beautiful little dog. She's smart, very affectionate and amazing with kids. She instantly submits and offers her head and back for petting when she spots a little one. She also has an adorable habit of army crawling right up on my husband's belly when he is on the sofa.

    I'm so glad to see that most of you adopt rather than buy your canine companions! :flowerforyou:

    If I ever become incredibly wealthy, I'm pretty much going to adopt ALL the dogs from my local shelter and have a pack just like Cesar Millan! :love:

    Lol, ME TOO!!! There are so many strays around where I live. I would give anything to have the ability to take them all in and make my own pack. I could, you know, none of them are licensed, lol. The law is on my side!

    I have two Jack Russell terriers... Feona and Darcy.

    Feona loves balls. A little too much.

    Darcy loves baths. Definitely too much. She also has guarding issues and although she is a sweet lap dog who loves my family with all her heart, she is quite jealous of Feona, who really just runs around doing her own thing.

    I took them to a local breeder and trainer but she wasn't very personable and her techniques left me confused and made me feel bad about how I was handling them.

    Sooo... we just leave the chaos alone, lol. And try to get in lots of play time. I love my girls!

    I love JRTs! I suggest Cesar Millan for training advice. He's written a few books and is the Dog Whisperer on Animal Planet. My Margo (a JRT mix) sounds like your Darcy in terms of guarding a jealousy...I have been training it out of her, but in the beginning no one was allowed to come near me! She responded so well to clicker training (lots of simple Youtube videos) and now her only quirk is that she barks a lot when new people come to the house.

    I agree. If you want good training techniques, there are TONS on the web. Caesar Milan is great to watch, but so is At The End of My Leash. Brad Pattinson is my hero, lol.

    I wish my dogs loved baths. My dogs hate baths. They fight me tooth and nail to get in, haha. I'm working on it, though, but I don't think they'll ever enjoy it.

    The love of my life is a 4yr old fawn American Pit Bull Terrier named Edin. We adopted her when she was 3 months old from a private puppy rescue. She is an absolute ball s!ut. She's the best cuddler in the world and makes me feel better when I'm feelin like shyt. I don't know what i'd do with out her.

    We've sorta adopted another dog..... his name is Hynes and he's a young boxer. He's actually my neighbor's dog. They show him no affection or interaction what's so ever so. Why the roomate got him in the first place I have no clue when he has no time for him and the other dude doesn't really want anything to do with him because "it's not his dog". So I had a chat with the dude and told him I'd like to borrow Hynes to come play with Edin and be able to come get him whenever I wanted. He said sure since him and the actual dog's owner is never home. He totally loves it over here and can not seem to get enough attention and I'm glad he gets to come over.

    I have Tito, a 4 yr old Italian Greyhound and Tassy a 8 yr old Shiba Inu.
    I found Tito on the hwy and after getting no response from my posters and stuff decided to keep him. He's my baby and knows it lol. He's actually snuggled up on my lap right now.
    Tassy was given to me from people that just didn't want her anymore. I've have her about 2 yrs now and she's really just now starting to like being loved on. She still isn't fond of other people but that's partly a breed quality.

    I also have Toby, a 1yr old pyrenees/German shepherd cross who lives outside and sleeps with my horses.

    Mine doesn't like baths either! She doesn't like any body of water despite being half beagle! But she's so obedient to me that she stays in the tub with her head down looking all sad. With my boyfriend it's another story...she will not have any of it haha!

    I have a greyhound/shepherd mix she's aprox 7. I got her from a non kill shelter I volunteered at. She is the best dog ever I did not. Even have to train her. She's too good for some they like the jumping up and licking people , she does not do any of that. The only thing is she is a bit scared of things. Ex. The shower. Every time my husband got a hot shower it set off the smoke detector. Now with her being smart as she is she knew it was the shower that caused it so now she freeks out when we get a shower even tho we fixed the problem.

    My gorgeous 8-year-old Golden Retriever, Sammy Bear, has helped me through so much. The day I got him (my 21st birthday, when he was 11 months old), he became my everything, and I became his.

    This warms my heart! I rescued my pup after I got horribly dumped out of the blue by a guy I'd known for 4 years. I was really lonely because my two best friends had moved away. Coming home to her and snuggling with her on the couch while I did work helped me so much and I wasn't lonely anymore. When I went on vacation this month I cried my first night being away from her!

    It's totally cliché, but they are the best friends a person could have! There is no other being more loyal. Even people (or should I say ESPECIALLY people) seem to forget all about loyalty sometimes, but my Sammy Bear would choose my life over his any day. I can't stand leaving those kids home alone all day, let alone overnight!! I pretty much refuse to spend the night anywhere that they can't go, and if I HAVE to, they definitely go to a babysitter! :)
