Sorry about Cracker.

The fawn one is Abby, adopted at 22 months old.
The red one is Bridget, adopted at (guessing) 12 months old.
That's Ben next to his "sisters", adopted at 18 months.
The shrunken black one is my first foster. She was 4 years old and was adopted about 3 months after this picture was taken.
I took the picture within 2 weeks of adopting Ben. I've never had issues bringing adults into the household.

Ben loved Bridget from day one. She didn't return his sentiments. It took her months to warm up to him. Can't imagine why!

She was 65 pounds. He was 89 pounds.

Thanks, Tonya

Your dogs are so beautiful. I love the "shrunken" one! Does she have the biggest attitude of all?

Too funny about Ben and Bridget. What a great picture. That's so funny he just laid on top of her

Oh IM I'm so sorry you're going thru this! If memory serves @orrpeople wrote some stuff on The Big M a year or two ago when she was going thru it. I cant remember if it was an article or a thread.

The min pin was named Twinkle. I took her from a different foster family to rehab her because she was beating the snot out of her other dogs and she couldn't handle her.
I treat all my dogs the same. I don't care if it's a min pin or a Doberman or anything in between. You WILL behave or you WILL be corrected. Cuteness only gets you so far in my house. Twinkle eventually learned the ropes but reverted back to her evil ways with her adoptive mom. I gave her some tips. She adores her anyway. She changed Twinkle's name to Ziva (the Diva!).

Bridget did not think so! The look she gave me just after I took the picture was like "will you get this thing OFF me!!"

Awww they are all so cute!!

I think introduced properly it can go well.

Isn't that funny? Cracker was the same way. He was a people dog, not a dog dog haha. They all coexisted fine (for the most part), but he much preferred the company of his 2 legged companions.

Frank and Libby sound like lovely happy dogs They are definitely high energy when they are young!

Aw yeah that’s how Gator was!! Lol he tolerated, even liked, some dogs, but others he hated lol he was more a people dog. Huge cuddle bug.

And thanks! They definitely are. They are technically my brother’s and his fiancé’s dogs though but I walk them and play/hang out/whatever twice a week usually but sometimes more or less and also dog sit for them. And I talk about them a lot as if they are my own LOL love my fur niece and fur nephew.

They adopted Libby first in February of last year at 12 weeks old and then they got Frank in September and I think he was around 16 weeks old so they’re similar ages but Libby is a little bit older. She turned a year old I think November or December and Frank they think his birthday is early June so he’s around a year old now. He just got neutered today.

Here’s a few pictures.



(Sorry that turned into way more than a few.... )

Hello cafe, fresh pot of coffee is ready if you need it.

I'm supposed to be working but I really don't wanna so I'm dragging my feet through every call. My boss is going to have something to say but I don't care about that either.

I wasn't going to share here but you guys will eventually find out...I really don't want to be downer so it's just so it isn't a surprise if it comes up at some point...I'm pretty sure there's Marek's here and I had to put my older birds down last weekend, all 6 of them so I'm left with only the chicks now. I've discovered there's a ton of info available about the disease itself but not a lot about long term care and maintenance when living with it on the premises. I'm going to write an article about that as a way of helping get over it and to learn more so I give my chicks the best possible chance of surviving.

You probably know that rebrascora has a flock with Mareks. I find her very approachable and she knows a lot about the disease. It might be worth having a chat.
I'll look forward to your article.

Edit, I see rebrascora has already been suggested.
