LOVE these pics! Adorable! I hope my pup is as good with mine as yours is. How do your Silkies do with the larger breeds? I have two Silkies and I'm adding some large breeds today, I don't want my littles to get picked on!

Love the dog who thinks it's a chicken!

Cute chickies too!

all mine have been raised together, so there has been no issues. Zero, our runt silkie, doesnt even get picked on. If anything she might get pushed around a little during the scramble at feeding time, but she holds her own. she has learned how to dart through the LF's legs! lol! I have the feeder for the big girls, then I do a smaller dish w/ food for Zero....

Beautiful pics

When I got to the last one (your dog) and seen the name I had to go back and look through them again because I remembered seeing the name Buffy and then your dog is Willow, I had to see if you had a Cordilla, Xander, Giles, Oz or some of the other character names from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I do LOVE all their name though.

We do have a cat named Anya..............

I am saving the name Xander for our next dog. I want a big male dog eventaully (a good farm dog) and i want to name him Xander so I will have Xander and Willow. I am a HUGE Buffy the Slayer Geek! There is this shirt I want from www.thinkgeek.com that is a Sunnydale High School Teeshirt.

Easter is my hubby's favorite chick too (for looks). Too bad she is the meanest one!!! Ok, I take that back, she isnt MEAN. She is flighty.... But she seems to be Mother Hen to the flock, so she doesnt like to be held or pet...she wants to be constantly overseeing the flock. So she is not a lover.....

All very cute and so amazing that your dog can be trusted with them!

Uh-oh! I have a Golden Laced Cochin..10 wks.. that everyone says is a pullet, but has bigger comb and wattles than this one. Ugh. That may mean that 3 of my 9 are roos! Crap..hubs will make me get rid of at least one, maybe 2.
