Four Legged Friends

I just got back from reading one of my favorite bloggers (Click Here) post on dogs and that got me thinking about my own dogs and their outstanding personalities.

First there is Pooter.

Pooter is our more than obese, thirty-five pound Shih-Tzu.

We got Poo when he was just a pup from a breeder who's house was so dirty and stunk so bad that we went back and bought his brother just to spring him from the stink.

His brother, Samson ended up going to a great home with a good friend while Poo grew into the laid back loving lump that he is.

The only thing that gets Poo worked up is a treat and I swear you can see the sweat beads form as he runs to the sound of my hand in the jar!

Here are a few pics of Poo.

This is Poo and Pearl...

This is solo Poo..

Next we have Bart.

Bart came to our home via Craigslist and he was a perfect fit from the moment he he set foot on the farm.

Bart also has A.D.D.

He will not go outside alone.

He hates having his picture taken and he will never ever give up hope that you might throw the ball, bucket, frisbee, shoe, stick, pine cone, pop can etc, just ONE more time.

Bart is loving and loyal and seldom leaves my side.

He also herds sheep with his head out the window of the backseat of the truck.

This is Barty at the beach, hoping we will throw the stick... Again.



Then we have the baby Buddy, who I lovingly refer to as our "Hot Dog" because I'm fairly sure he was paid for with stolen funds during the summer of 09'.

Buddy is a wonderful fun filled bundle of joy who only listens to the voices in his head.

Nothing is a good idea unless it's Buddy's idea.

He can herd and position the sheep from the other side of the fence and is always keeping the chickens in line.

Literally.

He keeps them in a line.

Thats Buddy in front.

Last but not least, we have Kobe, AKA Sparky.

Sparky was an unexpected souvenir from our last trip to Washington.

He belonged to a very good friend who got him as a used dog from someone else.

He was in an abusive relationship with an older woman (a three year old shepard mix) and was having to live in the doghouse to avoid her aggression.

So, we loaded him up with the rest of our baggage and headed South.

Sparky has truly found love and friendship on the farm and enjoys eating whip cream out of the can and going on long walks to the mail box.

His favorite things include sleeping with me and staring at me.

Seriously, I think he's obsessed.

So that's it for the get to know a dog blog, hav a great day!
