Show us your Life - PETS

I'm back at doing kellys korner show us your life...i have been on hiatus for a few months.
I thought this one would be a good one to participate in.


Christmas Picture 2007 - each year I torture the dogs into taking a xmas picture for the xmas cards


Peppermint Patty

She was my first pomeranian...just a peanut when I got her, she was an only puppy for 3 years, then we got Linus because I thought patty needed a friend. BIG MISTAKE, patty hates linus and most other dogs infact. She weighs 7 lbs, likes to sit in corners, or on pillows, or in her cage, and bark ALOT. When we had audrey last year it became too much to have 3 dogs and an infant, and patty had basically given up on us, she would sit in our other living room in the corner behind the TV by herself instead of with us, and my older sister becky had just bought a house. So I thought MAYBE she would be happy living with my sister, 9 month later i think Auntie B is FINALLY getting attached to the princess. And she is much much happier. Patty even has her own blog.

Linus

Linus (a girl) I got from the same breeder as patty, hoping to have poms who were BFFs...didnt happen. Linus is 5 and totally the opposite of patty, although she also loves to bark, not go in her cage, be a royal pain to me and ryan, has obsessive compulsive tendencies. She has killed cats and a groundhog and tried to get anything else that comes into our yard. She is fearless and dumb going after much bigger dogs. She is very head strong and we have been working on her obedience but she just hasnt gotten it yet. She is surprisingly wonderful with audrey. Linus loves to cuddle with me in the mornings too. Although I love Linus, I hope to never have another dog like her again, nor wish a dog like her on anyone :)

Murphy


Murphy is our puppy, he is a yellow lab 3 years old. Ryan got him to train to duck/goose hunt with him. However we moved after he was about 1 1/2 and training fell off. No hunting for him. Murphy is very easily trained, usually very calm, content, and basically follows linus around. He has had a few unexplained attacks on other dogs and once with audrey. He was inches from being given away when we chose to try and train him instead. I dont understand because labs are suppose to be so good with children, it could be linus's influence, I dont know. we keep the dogs and audrey separated now, hopefully someday they can all get along.

i'm hoping that i will enjoy the company of my dogs more than i have been, they seem to be more a pain than anything lately.
