I have three dogs; Petunia the pug, Meatball the American Bulldog, and Harriet the Porkshire (or porkie). They have very individual personalities, and differing levels of enthusiasm for having their picture taken. And if you want to know more...
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.
