ohMY!! what a scare with hubby! Glad he is OK!!
I don't know much of anything about dogs to compare One thing we do say is that Dylan and Robbie seem like dogs sometimes.

Dylan - like a big,gentle, sweet and calm dog - maybe a golden retriever? (at least granddog Cinnamon is like this)

Robbie - we call him a bulldog (I have no idea what a bulldog is though) because he is built so sturdy and he is clumsy in a way that is just not catlike. He also comes prancing up all wiggly like a puppy, acting like he is quite sure you are excited to see him! He doesn't ever walk gracefully, he kinda struts and knocks things over

Emily - maybe some sort of quiet lapdog?

Eliot and Lizzie are just so totally CAT
