Chum has ADHD. He's always moving, always talking, he starts trouble then backs out and watches the chaos. He can't focus on anything for more than a few seconds. He's scatterbrained. Catch him in a still moment and he's loving, friendly, and gentle. Dont' touch his paws...he has issues.

Deuce is my wild child, my rebel without a cause. He wants to be friends; he wants attention, but he has no idea how to do that in an appropriate manner.

Pacer is the shy kid everybody picked on in grade school. He wants desperately to be friends, but he's shy and lacks social skills. He's an easy target. He is also grateful to his core and unfailing loyal to those of any species who show him kindness and acceptance.

Pingo is quirky with a tendancy toward being a klepto. If something is missing in the yard, it's in her house. She hordes toys, recycling, gloves, bones, anything she can drag off. She's protective of her territory and would prefer no one ever come up our driveway without her express permission. She's obsessive about her tennis balls and their whereabouts. She may not want to play, but she knows where all her toys are at all times. She is gifted with great trail sense. If Pingo won't cross ice, refuses a command, there is a reason. She is not just being stubborn, she's saving us from trouble.
