Who's Who

I can't remember how many times over the last couple of years I thought I should give blogging a try. I've even voiced that desire to friends, who have encouraged me to give it a go. 

But.....still I hesitated.

That's me though....(plant biggest procrastinator sticker on forehead)

Not only that, I'm a bit of a wallflower....o.k. very much so. Putting myself out there on a Blog! eek! Scared the heebie jeebies out of me. 

So, I always talked myself right out of the whole idea. Anywho....here we are. I decided to get my butt in gear, and just get started....

I always knew the main theme would be the dogs ( there is no earthly way I would write a blog just about me)!.... There wouldn't be enough interesting stuff to write about. Dogs are endlessly entertaining after all......

And here they are! My little pack.

Ari

Me and ma BALL *squish squish*

Ari is a four year old rescue. Most likely an Aussie mix. he's the first "big" dog ( he's medium sized) I'd had in a very long time. As my little Chihuahua's got older, I said that my next dog would be an agility dog. I got my wish with this guy when he showed up at my door almost four years ago. I wanted him the moment we met.
I am about as wrapped around a dogs paw as one can get......but it's all good, because it's a mutual thing. 
My Dear Hubby thinks he can do no wrong in my eyes...haha. Actually Ari would rather DIE than do something wrong. ( that excludes a certain habit I can't seem to break any of my dogs out of...catcrack...erm crap...feral cats no less...so, nice and full of all sorts of nastiness) nodoggy is perfect, moving on......
He loves fetching (especially on the beach), agility, long walks, and going everywhere he can with me.

Kai 

Why yes, I think I am smart enough to read

Kai is a three year old Cattle Dog/ Rat Terrier mix. She is small like the Terrier with the Cattle dog coloring. I talked Dear Hubby into bringing her home because I thought Ari should have a buddy to play with. She fit into our family perfectly. Like other Cattle Dogs, she is aloof with strangers. You really have to earn her trust.
It's a different story, however, when my two legged daughter comes to visit. Kai worships the ground big sister walks on. In fact she melts into Golden Retriever Mush Brain OMGERD! I LUVS YOU! I WILL GIVE YOU ONE MILLION KISSES EVERY TIME YOU LOOKS AT ME! ( Don't get me wrong, I like all dogs, but they're not my cup o tea )
Sheesh. I'm embarrassed for her Cattle dogedness. 
She's a fan of all that good stuff listed above. She also has a funny habit of jumping on Dear Hubby when I am preparing their dinner. If she can knock the wind out of him when he's sitting on the couch....all the better.

Layla

I am cute, and I will take over!

 
 













Layla is one year old, and a rescue Royal Bahamian Potcake. She wasn't a planned addition to the household....but really....who could resist those eyes??
Her number 1 agenda is to rule the house. She does not believe she should be number 2 bitch. Uh Oh. Luckily her number 1 person is not clueless, so with a small amount of management, she is content to leave things in the planning stage at the moment.
She is a LOW energy dog, so that helps. When I picked a puppy out of the litter of eight, I asked which one was the most laid back. At the time, she had already picked me, and was sitting at my side staring straight into my eyes. O.K, that settled that. She got what she wanted.....and she still tries her best to have her way, even if that means walking the fine line between cute naughtiness and getting in trouble.
She is my cuddle bunny, and gives the best hugs. Her favorite place to chill is fully sprawled out under the coffee table.
