Those four legged furried companions whose tail wagging and toothy grins always seem to make you smile even when you're having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day - like the "apocalypse" last Saturday.
Chicken and I both have 2 dogs each; and they get into just as many shenanigans as we do.
Meet Max
"You have got to be kidding me!
I just shaved you, bathed you, and put you in that twelve dollar shirt-
now you're rolling in that freshly lain mulch!"
Owner: Chicken
Full Name: Maxwell Benjamin Toby Ploutz

Breed: Cocker Spaniel
Age: August 9, 2005 I am 5 years old!
Things I do that makes my mommy love me:
I like to snuggle and give hugs; and I'm simply adorable when I play. I always behave myself when I'm in the car or at the store. I also like to pose for photos and I always make my mommy feel better when she's having a bad day. I also like to dress up.
Things I do that makes my mommy pull her hair out:
I try to steal food from a 19 year old cat every chance I get.
I don't like to take baths. I don't like to share food, treats, or toys.
Mommy makes me wear a muzzle when their is other dogs and food around.
I scratch on doors if I can't get to my mom.
When mom is sweeping, I like to walk in the dirt and drag it around the floor.
I like to roll in stinky spots in the yard and in the mulch; especially when I've just been shaved and freshly bathed.
My Favorite Toy: Stuffed Duck

Least Favorite Activity: Going to the vet, getting shaved, and taking a bath

Age: 6 years old My birthday is July 30.
Things I do that makes my mommy love me:
I'm a great snuggler and the perfect lap dog.
I'm very quiet and reserved, but I'm not afraid to growl or bark to make a point.
I am the perfect dog.
Things I do that makes my mommy pull her hair out:
I may be 6 but I am a rebellious teen.
I'm lazy and love to roll in gross stuff right after I get a bath.
And when I want to be spoiled rotten- I run away to Nonie's.
I am super picky about what I eat. I am the queen of the castle.
My Favorite Treat: Canine Carry-Outs
My Favorite Toy: Cat nip cloth mouse

Meet Kenji
"Kenji, get out of that fountain and eat your expensive food!"

Breed: Australian Shepard
Age: Born October 30, 2006 I am 4 years old.
Things I do that makes my mommy love me:
I'm very loving and a cuddle bug. I'm the perfect size for a foot stool.
I love to play in the water and go on walks. I LOVE to ride in the car.
I'm a good boy and I'm smart. I can do a lot of tricks. I just live to please.
Oh, and snow is my most favoritest thing ever- I think it should show all the time.
I have SEVERE allergies and have to be on expensive food and medicine. I don't like the food.
I have small-dog-syndrome and I like to jump on people.
I love to play in water, but mommy has to wrestle me to take a bath.
I recently discovered I have an attitude toward other dogs.
I don't like going to the vet, so mommy makes me wear a muzzle there because I like to bite the vet. Then I roll on the ground and make a scene in the waiting room.
I like to swallow raw hides and chew bones whole, and that makes mommy paranoid.
My Favorite Treat: Salmon Jerky Strips
My Favorite Toy: Kong filled with peanut butter
Favorite Activities: playing in the water, riding in the car, and playing at grandma's
Least Favorite Activities: going to the vet, taking a bath, and mom being paranoid and not letting me eat raw hides or any type of bones
Meet Rosie
"Oh, no. What are you dragging out of the woods?
Is that . .?
Where did you find a whole entire spiral sliced honey glazed ham?"
Full Name: Rosie O'
Nicknames: Ro-Ro & Rose
Breed: Puggle-Wire-Hair Terrier Mix
Age: 3 years old
I found a ham one time.
I like to eat ham I find in the woods. Mmmm ham.
I can honk like a goose.
I am a good dog. Yes I is.
I can do tricks.
I can give high-fives, shake, sit, lay down, sit pretty, and sing.
I have a big bark.
It is so big I can sound like 10 dogs when I bark.
I like to herd mom's chickens. I put them back in their house and eat their food.
I like to eat food. Even things that are not food like pens and sticks.
Things I do that makes my mommy pull her hair out:
I like to guard food my mom sits on the kitchen table and counters. I will guard empty plates too.
I is a good dog.
I like to run.
I like the rain.
I can run fast.
Sometimes I run fast in the woods and look for more ham in the rain.
Then mom has to come get me because I can't hear her when I am hunting.
I don't like getting my nails trimmed.
Last week it took three people to hold me down so I could get my nails trimmed.
I like light. Light is pretty.
I chase lights and shadows.
I will climb up people to chase the light and shadows. I try to eat the lights but they are fast.
I do not like when mom leaves me.
I cry and cry.
I also honk and squeal.
Mom says I make very "undog-like sounds."
My Favorite Toy: Do I still get a treat? I wanna treat.
Favorite Activities: Finding ham in the woods and getting treats. . . Can I have a ham treat puh-lease!
Least Favorite Activities: Mom leaving me at home and having my nails trimmed. . Does I still get a treat?
As you can see our dogs are some pretty interesting canines.
There also like our children.
Chicken's dog Max turned five last year,
so Chicken threw a doggie pool party for him.
Complete with a dog friendly cake,
doggie treat bags for all the canine guests,
a cupcake for the humans,
and of course a pool.
"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open ones self to the possibility of becoming partly a dog." - Edward Hoagland
