 OUR DOGS 

 

 Our wonderful kids!  Samantha, Melvin, Toni and others!

 

 

We have a great love for Dogs, especially ours!  Come and meet them!

Samantha - She's a Labrador/Chow mix and 10 years of age.  She's one of the most loving, playful dogs I have ever encountered.  The Blue toy (KONG) is her favorite thing in the world.  She carries it around all day and persistently wants you to throw it to her.  She loves to lay back into your arms and get her tummy rubbed too.

A wonderful "mother" and even helped raise her daughter's puppies.  Samantha, 7 puppies.  Angel had 9 puppies.  After Angel delivered, Samantha for some reason went into our bedroom and took all the stuff animals off the bed and placed them onto the floor and licked them til they were soaked.  We arrived home and found this.  We decided that it was time for Samantha to see the litter.  We took Angel outside and let Samantha into the garage where the puppies were, she laid down immediately and started to clean and nurse the puppies.  By the next morning, Samantha had produced enough milk to feed another army of puppies. 

 

Melvin - One of Angel's pups.  This coy and extremely smart dog is such a lover.  He loves to give hugs and kisses.  He can even talk!  Yes, talk!  He says "out", "water" (wawa) and a few others were still trying to figure out. He has a coat of fur, like silk.  Beautiful, soft and shiny.  He is generally shy and reserved, but loves to look at you with his golden brown eyes and you can read his mind. 

 

 

Toni - She is also one of Angel's pups as well.  She was adopted out to a wonderful family but when they needed to move they realized that they couldn't take their dogs and came back to us to see if we would take here back.  We did!  After 3 years of being gone, she was welcomed back by us, Samantha and Melvin as if she had never left.  They both recognized each other immediately!  Toni wants to be #1, but that won't happen as long as Samantha is with us.

In the years of us being together we have seen a total of 28 dogs and cats come through our lives.  Though a period of that time was very hard with 18 Puppies being delivered within 12 weeks of each other was not only amazing, but horrifying!  It taught us to be EXTRA patient and EXTRA careful where we were walking.  Each of those animals received the utmost care, love, affection and even a good home for those who left us.  They all received a name from rick, both first and middle names.  LOL 

Here are some recommended books on the care and behaviors of dogs. 

Some great references!
