Taylor came to us shortly before we lost Charlie to cancer.  She helped him become a house pet and family member. 

 And Couch potato.  He has lost his need to dominate and seems to really enjoy the company of the other dogs.  He romps and plays chew face and lets our little Daisy walk on him and chew his neck.  He will let her know when she goes too far, but he doesn’t get angry.  He shows us all so much love and trust.

Daisy is a 14 lb. shih-tzu/pug mix that was out running the street till I grabbed her.  

Son Shine has been with us for a couple of months, but officially ours for a few weeks.  The first time we saw him, we both said he looked like an old lion.  Grey hair, sway back and bleary eyes.  Last night Mike went out to the barn after dark and put his hooded coat on.  When he came back in Son Shine went off.  He has a beautiful deep bark that we hadn’t heard before.  As soon as Mike took the hood down it was OK.  We don’t know how he lived before, but so many things scare him.  I think that is why he likes to stay near the other dogs or us at all times.  He romps with Sam, chases with Daisy, runs like the wind when the others chase the tennis ball and gets along well with the cat.  He is very loving and cannot get enough hands on time.  We are glad he is part of our pack and wish we could have met him sooner.
