I almost picked that one, but decided on Kane instead.
The breeders said Kane is mischievious already. That's a good thing, right?

And people oriented! Looking right at the camera!

I have one of those mischievous ones too...the kind that people walking down the street meet and say, "Oh Wow! She must be a lot of fun!" While privately thinking "thank goodness you have to live with her and not me"

A smart dog with a sense of humor is DEFINITELY a mixed blessing. But never dull.

He's so... so... GORG!

He is so cute!!! This really is torture.

4 is enough, 4 is enough, 4 is enough, yes, 4 is enough...

It was a large litter - eleven pups. I think there's one or two not sold.

We have a word to describe his big "brother" Jax. It starts with smart and ends with an S.
I try to be a strict disciplinarian, but it's hard to be when you're

TELL me about it! She is an only dog and her favorite game is "Hah! Made you bark" when we walk past dogs behind fences and gates (she bounces up and down in front of them until they lose it).

Our oldest cat Powdie is (and has always been) a complete opinionated grouch and Queen Of Everything. She's 16 now and weighs 4 pounds soaking wet, on a good day.

She is also the Queen of Displaced Aggression (ie, if mom or dad makes her mad she stomps over and takes it out on another cat or the dog)

Except she doesn't take it out on the dog much anymore.

Because she's elderly and frail and little, I have always been extra careful about the bull-in-a-china-shop 55 pound mutt and her. "Don't You Dare Upset or Hurt a Kitty" has been Rule #1 in Rommie's life since the moment we got her. It's the biggest sin she could contemplate, and she knows it.

Rommie has big ears, as you can see from the above picture. She's also very sensitive about them, not particularly fond of them being touched, etc.

One night my husband did something that made Powdie mad. So Powdie stomped over and bit the sleeping dog on the ear!

Before I could even react the dog scrambled up, stuck her face in the cats face (their noses were an inch apart) and went BARK!!!!

Now, Rommie has the loudest bark I've ever heard from a dog, and this was the loudest bark I'd ever heard from her. I swear I literally saw the hair on Powdie's head blown back by the force of it, like a cartoon.

Powdie just stood there in shock for a few seconds, then with one of those "Well! I meant to do that" reactions, turned and walked off. I still scolded both of them, Rommie because any display of aggression toward a cat can't be tolerated when she could kill Powdie by just stepping on her, practically.

We've already taught Jax that carrying our siamese, KiKi, around in his mouth is NOT okay. KiKi's so laid back she doesn't mind him doing it, but we do.
