Real stories, shared with love

Jake and Josh We made it home with our two puppies. We named the short haired fellow Franklin because my son swears he resembles FDR. (Personally I don't see it and I wanted to call him Winston.) The long haired fellow is named Oliver, after our blond dachshund, Olivia, who passed away last year. Oliver is a lot like Olivia and is very smart. Oliver has clearly established himself as the alpha male, but Franklin is the most curious. Franklin gets into everything. Franklin is whining weiner. When he wants something (like getting out of the crib), he whines. The two dogs are great friends. I let them chase each other back and forth in the kitchen for 45 minutes. Boy they sure rough house with each other. They slept well for several hours after that. Oliver is the better eater. He is a porker. He devours his food. Franklin is much pickier. We feed them at opposite ends of the room so Oliver does not steal Franklin's food. Franklin loves shoelaces. He grabs them and runs. He likes to untie shoes. He also figured out how to open up the zipper in the doggie playpen and get out. Franklin had his first vet appointment and is now microchipped. We cannot get Oliver to the vet until June 26th. We are so fortunate to have two wonderful dogs who keep us young. So happy that we were able to get Oliver to keep Franklin company.

Hi Jake and Josh, It's Pliny's (Joker and Cinnamon's chocolate/cream male) first birthday! He's enjoying his life in Livermore, CA with me and my fiancé. He is honestly the best thing to happen to us this past year and we couldn't imagine life without him. He enjoys going to doggy daycare, sleeping on the couch, and stealing our socks. He is the most stubborn and sassy dog we've ever met, but is also the biggest cuddle-bug, and we would not change one thing about him. Thank you so much for choosing us to be his family!
