A Dog's Life (Or 3)

Petunia:

Rules to Live By:  If it feels good, do it.  This applies to demanding snuggles, walks, and play time.  Also to having accidents on the carpet at will and with no warning.  Like I am not even standing right there.

Arrival Day: 4/19

Nicknames: Tuna, Tunafish, Fishy, Ba-doonia

Likes:  Snuggling any time and any place and with anything, biting Meatball's armpits, stealing bullysticks from the other dogs, licking Meaty and Harriet, Animal Planet

Pet Peeves:  The vacuum cleaner, trash bags, the word "no", dogs on tv, Animal Planet (where she can't attack the dogs on tv)

Favorite Toy:  An old deer antler

Favorite Quirk: Her extra-long tongue that is always hanging out of her mouth (see picture)

Meatball:

Rules to Live By:  To protect and defend (and get lots of belly rubs).  He looks a lot scarier than he is.

Birthday Day: 5/23/07

Nicknames:  Meaty-B, Meaty Dog, Dr. Dog

Likes:  Belly rubs, sitting on laps (all 115lbs. of him), playing with his little sisters, chasing squirrels up trees,  Animal Planet

Pet Peeves:  Mom and dad going to work, people walking on the sidewalk in front of our house, being forcibly humped by any other dog

Favorite Toy:  Black bear

Favorite Quirk:  His one brown eye patch

Harriet:

Rules to Live By: Never back down.  It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog.
