Here is a picture of Oreo. She is a beagle/poodle mix and is 15 years old and weighs about 23 lbs. We have had her since she was 5 weeks old. She has always lived life on her terms. You don't pick her up. You wait until she wants petted. You don't force her to do anything.


We adopted Dazzi next. She is a golden retriever/Spaniel mix. She was 1 1/2 old when we were given her by a friend who was getting divorced and moving to an apartment. She is my sweetheart, my sweet girl. She weighs about 43 lbs. and is 4 1/2 years old.



Then came Taggert - our airdale terrier mix. He weighs about 54 lb. and is the most stubborn boy. He will be 3 in January.
