My Kids

Snowball is an American Eskimo, born January 28, 1990. She weighs about 23 lbs.  Snowie is the ruler of my house. The smallest of my kids, she is definitely in charge. One growl from her sends my Labs cowering. She thinks she is their mother, and does a great job of keeping them in line.  Snowie is a nervous dog, and doesn’t like children because they generally move too fast and scare her. She loves to chase cats, rabbits, motorcycles, bicyclists, and 18-wheel trucks.

Shado is a black Cocker Spaniel, born January 5, 1990. Right now, Shado weighs approximately 35 lbs.  Shado is a very easy-going cocker. She almost never snaps at the other dogs, even though they walk on her constantly. She will let them take food right out of her mouth without complaint (Probably because she knows I’ll give her more when they do this.)  She’s had a tough time the last few years, though. A year and a half ago, she had to have knee surgery on her rear-left leg. Two weeks later, she popped the repair and had to have the surgery redone. A year later, she had to have the same surgery on the right-rear leg.

Remus, I think was the runt of the litter. He was smaller than his brother when I found them, and he had a scratch on one eye which healed completely with a little care.  Remus loves to be outside. He loves to chase cats, rabbits, motorcycles, bicyclists, and 18-wheel trucks from the safety of my fenced yard

Romulus

Romulus is the couch potato in the family. He is a very lazy kid. He enjoys relaxing on the sofa or curling up in the bathroom floor for a nap. He loves to sleep in my bed, but he usually gets upset and leaves when I go to bed because he thinks I take up too much of the bed. Hey, I can’t help it – it’s a twin bed!  Romie thinks he is a lap dog. He also thinks he has to be petted twenty-four hours a day. If I stop petting him, he will either sit up and push on me to get my attention, get up and move around in front of me so I have to pay attention to him, or paw at my arm or leg until I start petting again

Ari & Zephyr

The newest members of our family.  Shado takes good care of them by helping to keep them fed and watered.  And anytime we set them outside for some fresh air, she checks on them periodically to make sure nothing's gotten to them.

Scary, ain't we?
