Describe your dog...

[Toby's my baby]

I'll go first...

Autumn:


I got Autumn from a family in town. Actually, we kind of stole her. This is what happend... My dad is a landlord, and rents out trailor houses. The family was NOT supposed to have a dog, but they got one anyways. They almost always had it tied up outside. My dad told them that they had to find a new home for it. They got "rid" of her, but a week and a half later she was back. So, me and my dad went to her house and told her if she wanted to give us the dog, we would take her and find her a new home. But the lady was sleeping, and her two children (ages 5 and 3?) we outside playing by themselves. The puppy was tied up, but the leash was hooked onto a tick collar and when the puppy saw us she pulled and pulled and got loose. A neighbor man caught her and gave her back to the kid who put her in the house. Then the little girl ran inside quick and the puppy got loose again. Me and my dad looked EVERYWHERE for her, but could not find her. After a while, we were on our way home, and found her in a yard under a trailor, with another dog who lived at the home. I got out of the truck and got her, and we brought her home. We planned on bringing her to the Humane Society, because my parents didnt want another dog. At the time we were having troubles with Maggie barking and whinning all night long, and the day that we brought Autumn home, all that stopped, I guess she just wanted a friend! So we ended up keeping her.

She has meant everything to me. She is the best baby anybody could ask for. She has never bit me (not even when she was a puppy and teething) never chewed on anything. She loves to give kisses, and sometimes thinks she's a lap dog, which is fine with me! I love to snuggle with her. She gets really protective of me if I am holding her in my lap or something and Maggie or Boo boo tries to get me to pet them, she will bark and growl and carry on until they go away. She follows me just about everywhere, and is so well behaved. She loves everyone and everything. I love her to death, and she means the world to me.

Bailey...



After months of looking for the perfect dog, I chose to buy a Great Dane puppy. I LOVE their personality and goofiness. The breeder had a litter of 15 puppies, with only a few available to pet homes. I had to choose between a Mantle, Harlequin and a Mantle Merle. I chose the merle because that is my favortite colour. I absolutely fell in love when the breeder sent me pictures of him. I have only had him for a few weeks and it feels like I have had him forever. He is the perfect dog for us, we all love him. Bailey is fun to be around, goofy, and has the silliest bark! He sounds like a Coonhound! LOL! I love him to bits and couldn't imagine finding a better dog than him. He suits my lifestyle almost too perfectly!

Maggie Mae


Maggie is my heart and soul. I don't know what I would do without her, as I'm extremely attached to her. We got Maggie from a breeder when she was 5 weeks old. My dad is a landscaper and a job he did was for this guy, a breeder, well the guy said he'd throw in a puppy if he didn't have to pay in full. Honestly, one of the best deals I think my family has ever done. Maggie is an absolute joy to have around. She loves people and kids especially. She is extremely protective of my neices and will follow them around the house to make sure their safe. She'll let them play cards on her stomach or use her as a hill when they play with dolls and whatnot, simple stuff they know to never hurt her, and they love her to bits too. They are always looking for her when they come over. Maggie is probably one of the smartest dogs I know, she may not know a lot of tricks, but she always understands what you need and wants to help in any way she can. I swear she is more like a human. As much as I hate to say favorites, Maggie is!

I only have one dog.

SASSY:

I was five years old when I got Sassy. I had had open heart surgery(I have a heart condition.) and have ALWAYS wanted a dog. Well, after two weeks in the hospital for recovery I was free. So, we went to my godfathers house for a *visit* and my parents said we were going to look at dogs this weekend! I had no idea I was going to get one. There she was. As tiny as a kitten. I took right to her and now she is mine forever. I've had her for 8 years and what a dog she is. She's so bossy! She has such a personality and is pure evil. But all in all, she is a GREAT dog.

Sam



Well, Sam was one of the two surviving puppies from a BYB. His mom stopped feeding his brothers and sisters, so they died, except him and his sister. They sold his sister at 5 weeks old , and we got Sam when he was 9 weeks. I had wanted another Cocker Spaniel since my RB cocker had died. I dreamed of a parti color, and Sam just happened to be one! He's definatly my little man. He is the biggest cuddler in the whole world. He loves everyone, he's shy at first but once he warms up to you, he's your best buddy! He knows when I'm down and he'll make me feel better. He's the biggest goof... you can depend on him to make you laugh! He is my little sweetie.... his tail never stops wagging! I just love him to bits.

Adele:



We don't really know too much about Adele's life before we adopted her. We don't know her exact birthdate, but it's sometime in August of 2003 (we celebrate her birthday on August 11th). She was about 11-12 weeks old when we brought her home. I was looking for another dog, and I actually wanted to find a male, but I saw Adele's picture on petfinder and fell in love with her face. She was at a shelter just into Minnesota close to my husband Eric's home town. So, when we picked her up we took Marta and stopped at the in laws and she got to meet their dogs on her first day home. We have a polaroid of all the pets and people together, and Adele looks so tiny. She has turned out to be a good friend to Marta, and a good dog. We usually say that Marta is "my" dog and Adele is Eric's dog, but neither of us could live without any of our pets. Adele is a very sweet dog, and will greet you like you've been out of town for months after you've been gone only an hour. She also adores peanut butter and knows the word, but her absolute favorite words are "dog park."
