My baby boy and best friend Hobie. He is Golden retriever/GSD/Blue Heeler mix and a year old. I got him when we were homeless on the streets last year for a few months from a bad person when he was 10 weeks old. We've been together ever since. Highs and lows.

Puppy alert! Solace is five months old and really wants to be a lap dog but has too much energy. The SPCA staff wrote terrier / shepard mix. He's not going to be very big; perfect lap size.

4 years ago, after both Smeagol (photo one) and Franklin (top dog in photo 2) were back on their feet after being rescued about 8 months prior.

(Sad to say all these wonderful rescues have passed)

In your head, please imagine Morgan or David narration:

The feral pack rests after being on high alert ever since the storm began.

Having fed, they will remain this way for several hours.

10 years ago, we had a wonderful foster named Hunter. He was severely emaciated, practically hairless due to demodex mange and had zero training. He went on to adopt a young boy named Owen and lived another 9 years with this family.

"Hunter is teaching us. He has taken to standing over Micky, which leads to some rather rough play on Hunters part (poor Micky!) So we have not been allowing it--zero. Today he tried a couple times. We tried a much less loud approach, leading him off by the collar, and having him sit next to Micky. Both times he did fine. The third time was here, as Micky was in the couch. All I said was "Hunter, off." He got down, then got up next to his friend in the sunny spot. Hunter needs calm, consistent, teachable moments.

"I had a growth on my leg removed, and then my sutures came open, twice, and when no one is around I have to wear that stupid cone, and when they ARE around I have to wear these RIDICULOUS flying pink pig pajamas.

My torment will never end. I might bite someone."

(He's an old boy and would never...)

This is Zeus, the last of the original three Boxer Brothers.
