Dang I missed it. So I'm keeping up.

My babies are many. I am not a dog person but somehow have 2 dogs now.

but first I have my kitties-Rufort II, to replace rufort 1 the dog who my son got when he was 4 but we had to give up because I was going through my crazies.

So then we have Mooney, the next little kitty. Both Rufort and Mooney had sisters, but somehow one got run over and the other disappeared. We live next to a bluff and it was pretty rural then, so my brother always jokes about the animals...

So, then almost 4 years ago we adopted a dog from the shelter. she started to attack my son on the back of his head pretty much soon as we got her home. We tried training, but he was still younger and scared of her, so we gave her back.

We looked for awhile at dogs, and ended up finding Spot, an English setter from Cove Fort, and went to pick her up.

she is a pain in the ass, barking like mad right now. We met the parents adn they were calm and cool, didn't chase cats, etc. she is everything they are not, but we love her dearly. She is beautiful white with spots, hence my son named her spot.

So we have had a few companions for her over the last couple years, adopting from shelters knowing if it didn't work we would find a new home. Spot is feisty, and we finally got Blu, our border collie/lab. they fight, but he is bigger than her now, but he can keep up with her.

she runs like the wind, and runs away, so we have to be careful. But, I love this dog like I never thought I would, so I deal with it. Blu loves her too, even though sometimes she is sassy. I learned that she is great with male dogs, so that is why we have blu

gotta love em or I wouldn't have em, they are so much work....

Lola- German Shepherd She is very calm and easy to handle. We did send her to training school for six weeks. She did not do very well, well not as well as the trainer expected but the training helped. The trainer wanted her to repeat the class!

Audrey- Yorkie Tough little lap dog.

Claire- part boxer, part American bull dog. She is one year old, has lots of energy. A sweetheart. She loves to tree the yard cats. We got her from a guy selling her litter from the back of his pick up on the side of the road.

Blanca- Our pure white kitty adopted from the kill shelter.

I have a German Shepherd also. Her name is Abby and she'll be 12 years old in May. She is awesome. I worked out of town for 14 months, and Abby went with me and she was such a trooper, esp the last 2 weeks, when we were up in the Twin Cities and it got so cold. She loves to play ball, still. She's beautiful, and very protective of me. she can't do it now, but she used to lie on her back and look at me upside down, with her eyelids and lips falling back--she looked pretty funny and she knew it!
