Hey all!

I have 3 dogs. 2 Chocolate labs and 1 beagle.
1)Zeus, AKC registered (by default) Bday January 2002. Weight 100 lbs. Loves to swim!
A family member had bought him at 6 weeks of age and paid $500 then this past March decided they just did not really want him. I know everyone says this but- He has got to be the best dog I have ever been around and that is no help to me- he was alread trained when I got him.
2)Mr. Bojangles, Beagle. We found on the side of the road in January 2002, weighed 14 pounds- now 44 pounds! Kinda of an old grumpy Gus- In my area- I tend to think he was a hunting dog that either did not come back on call or did not bring back the prize and was left- some hunters are like that, not all.
3)Hershey Kiss, the newest addition, approx 4-5 mths old. Chocolate Lab (vet says pedigree-no documention)I went out of town on business and someone had dropped her out near my friends farm- and my friend knew I would take her- I am a sucker when it comes to rescues. (especially I lost my only baby girl, Jayde, in June of this year from a uterus rupture during labor) Hershey Kiss has really helped since the lost of my female dog, and it has given some life back to my other dogs who I think (some will disagree) were distraught about the loss of their friend.

Okay so that is my family! I guess that is a lot of detail for a first post.

Mandy:)

Yup, Lily.. Shes great!

What kind of dog will you be getting or do you know yet?

I have never been one for cats.. I think we don't understand each other- or maybe my life has always been run by dogs! ha ha At any rate I still love them all!

I'm getting a female Mini Schnauzer in 4 weeks, I'm probably gonna call her "Bear". This will be my first dog, as I used to be kinda scared of dogs before seeing a friend's in Australia.

As for cats, they're all I've ever had. I used to think they were better than dogs, 'cos they're so independant, but they just sleep all the time and do nothing. I think dogs are much more fun now :) I still love my lil Thomas though. :)

Thanks all for your Welcoming sentiments!

I am bored here at work and I would much rather be at home snuggling/playing with my dogs.. so if I cant do that at least I can talk about them and hear about other dogs... ha ha
I don't have kids so I am one of those (what some would call obnoxious dog owners) whose life revolves around their pets! Pictures of them on my desk at work, Holiady cards with their pictures, they have stockings, etc..
