PUPPIES PUPPIES PUPPIES!!!!!

.....Sigh.....

I do so love my dogs. They are loyal, sweet, crazy, insane, hyper, "talkative", loving, and protective.

But it never ceases to amaze me how different their personalities are, and how each does things that reminds me of things I have caught myself or Hank doing.

But, let me introduce them to you.
First, we have the "leader of the pack (at least in his mind)"....Chubasco Storm Ledwig. Also known as Chuy.
This is my furry little protector. He is also my nurse when I am sick. He won't leave my side, and checks on me incessantly! He chases away those pesky squirrels, birds, pine cones, and cow patties (yes...cow patties). However, he runs from vacuums, roaches, and Hank's Ampeg Bass amp. (hilarity ensues!). He LOVES...repeat LOVES to "Play roo", which consists of him listening to a video of himself howling, and joining in. His personality is so playful, but sweet. He gets his feelings hurt easily. (for anyone who says animals do not have feelings...You must be insane. Or have never known the joy of having a pet.) He is quirky and hilarious! One day, after he followed me to the restroom, and closely observed what I was doing, I returned to the restroom to find him "doing his business". Smart guy!! He also loves to get any and all of our underthings and throw them randomly around the bed...only to pick his favorite and snuggle into it for a nap.

And now onto his sister, Daysie Mae Ledwig. Aka...Daysie.
She is, most definitely, the pretty little princess, with complete bad-ass tendencies!! She doesn't put up with any of the shit the other ones give her. However, she loves to be brushed and clean, and will actually (after it's on) enjoy wearing her sweaters, etc. We recently got Daysie from her owners, as they had to move and were unable to take her with them. She was an outside dog there, and adapted to life inside with such amazing finesse! She is definitely the most well behaved of my 3 fur babies. She learned going outside to use the restroom with ease! She amazes me, how quickly she picks things up. She's a good girl :)

Finally, the most pampered and spoiled of the bunch: Dunn Dunn Ledwig (Aka....Dunnie Bear)
Yep..that's him in his "I don't  wanna" pose. He has little tantrums when he doesn't get his way. And there is no greater attention whore than Dunnie!!! He is the pampered little prince (definitely my dog) and loves sleeping on soft, warm pillows, with his special blankie (yes..he has a blankie!!). He is the one, however, that let's us know when things are not as they should be. When Dunnie barks, you know something is wrong. Dunnie Bear went through a lot when he was a few weeks old. His momma got run over, so he was given to us. He almost died, and was very hypoglycemic. But he survived, and is a strong little turd now, and overly spoiled! But I do so love him!! He's my furry lil bear!!!
My dogs are a trip, but they fill a very important spot in our lives. They keep me going, and laughing, and they are very much a part of our little family. (a friend referred to them as our respective mothers "Grand Dogs" LOL!!) They are the most loving, and faithful beings I have ever known. That love comes without condition.
We could all learn from our pets....just sayin'....
And with that..I leave you with a couple of parting snapshots...



Until next time...be kind to your furry friends...love like theirs is very precious!
