I recently sat down and thought "what will I blog about now since I am switching gears?". I had said that I want readers to get to know me, so I'm going to take that and just go with it. I'm going to do a series of posts just sharing different things about myself!
Please meet my awesome pups! I love them to pieces!
This is Savannah. She's a 12 year old border collie chow mix. I got her three months after Mary passed away. She was in bad shape and had some male aggression issues. Now, Savannah has the sweetest personality and is just wonderful. She has arthritis, but will get playful when the mood strikes! She loves being bathed and brushed, too. She's great!!
This is my Max. He is a 5 year old saint bernard. We've had him since August 2010. He's pretty well mannered, but tends to think he's about the size of a shitzu. This means he will get on my bed to sleep, jump on newcomers, try to lay on your lap, etc. He is a frequent visitor at the elementary school. The kids love him and he LOVES children. Luckily, he is a dry mouth, so the children aren't covered in slobber! Even teachers love seeing him.
This is Xena, our warrior princess, another saint. She was my weight loss/birthday gift. She actually came home four days before my birthday. In the first photo, she was one day shy of 5 weeks and was incredibly sick because, it turns out, the people who owned the mother was not taking proper care of mom or pups. She was a whole 3.3 lbs. When we got the initial call from the humane society in that county, we were told she wouldn't live through the weekend if we didn't remove her and get her vet care immediately. As you can see in the bottom photo, she is alive and healthy as can be and very happy! She still annoys my other dogs, but luckily, my mother has two large breed pups that Xena loves, so we have frequent playdates.
