Our Pups

Just a little background on our dogs!  Remember, this is Day #2 of being couped up in the house due to the snow.  TV, laundry, and dishes can only keep you busy for so long.

 ABOUT ZOE
We adopted this little girl in December 2010, just a few days before Christmas!  The vet thinks she's between 13-15 months old.  We're not exactly sure what mix she is.  She's all white, soft hair, floppy ears, long tail, longer snout.....a mix of Westie, Maltese, Russell Terrier....eh we don't care.  She's cute, sweet and very sociable.  She loves to play with her brother in the backyard and is often the instigator of their wrestling.  She doesn't bark in the house but if she hears noises in the neighbors yard when she is outside, she yaps and yaps.  Zoe thinks she is super tough.    We love her!

ABOUT WAUXONPAUS
This is our Native American dog, Wauxonpaus. "Walks On Paws".  Bob adopted this big boy back in February 2009 and he's turning 2 this month!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUBBA!  When I married Bob, I got a dog too.  I started to learn all about the responsibilities of dog ownership.  I had a cat growing up and we all know they roam about and do their own thing. Plus, my dad made sure the cats had food and water.  Waux is a Lab / Great Pyrenees mix.   Big dog but very loving.  He doesn't know boundaries with people or other dogs.  Since he wasn't raised around other dogs, he doesn't know a stranger.  He doesn't quite pick up on the social cues of other dogs, esp. of unfriendly dogs.  He thinks they all want to play.  The only tricks he knows is "sit" and "shake".  They go hand in hand and he will only respond if he see's a treat in your hand.  Actually, the moment he see's a treat, he sits and shakes.  No commands necessary!  He's really good with Zoe and understands his size to hers.  They are best friends and it's been so good for him to have a playmate!
