Since this is such a friendly group, I feel so comfortable sharing pictures of some more special dogs in my life.
I have mentioned my Mom's dogs in another post (I think) if not, I'm sure I will one day.
Here they are:
First, there is Bonita, Bonnie for short aka Momma Dog. She is the sweetest dog I have ever seen. She loves to snuggle, yet is very playful at the same time. She hates for you to scold her and will try very hard to get back into your good graces if you're upset with her. She's getting old now (14) and is starting to loose her hearing, vision and bladder control. However, she's still our spunky little monkey.

Next came Brandee. She is our pound puppy. We adopted her after one of Bonnie's puppies had to be put down because of severe epilpsy. My mom lives in New Mexico where there are many Native American reservations which are plagued with stray dogs. Someone saw Brandee as a 3 month old puppy being attacked by her littler mates and other children, so they took her to the local shelter. She looked terrible! She had patches of fur missing, very wire-like fur and totally unsocialized. They should have fostered her before putting her up for adoption. When we first saw her, she wanted nothing to do with us. She would cower and hide if we got close to her, but I couldn't resist those big doe eyes of hers. She needed a lot of time to interact with us, get a collar on and even a leash. Years later (10 to be exact) she is the smartest, sweetest dog I've ever had the pleasure of being owned by. She still doesn't like little boys, but is a great dog regardless.

Next came Emma Leigh. She is the second puppy of Bonnie's second litter. Let's just say Emma isn't the brightest bulb in the box, but we love her just the same. She's quite the portly dog. No styrofoam is safe as long as she's in the room. Notice her handy work.

And last but not least is Dino. Dino is Bonnie's 3rd puppy from the same litter. He got his name because after I delivered him, he had this gigantic tounge that stuck out of his mouth and wasn't really breathing well on his own. I would have to nudge him every so often to get him to breathe! When he would, he would let out this little sound that sounded like a dinosaur, hence the name Dino. He went to live with my grandfather for a few years, but when he died, he came back to stay with my mom. He is very smart, but also VERY stubborn. :mad: He will howl along with the theme song from the show "Married with Children." Very funny.
