"This is Stanley with Bobo
(the white Teddy bear). Stanley's mom was a
Min Pin /
Rat Terrier mix, and
his father was a
Pit Bull. He's seven years old and belongs to my 15 year old
daughter. So does Bobo, the Teddy bear; she's had Bobo all her life.
The three of them are almost inseperable; she watches TV and surfs
the 'net with Bobo and Stanley in her chair with her, sleeps with
them, they go nearly everywhere she goes. When she does go somewhere
they can't go, Stanley mopes until she comes home."
"He's lived with us since he was a very young puppy. He was the runt
of the litter and they didn't expect him to survive, especially
after his mother was hit by a car and the puppies had to be bottle
fed. We were moving and on one trip from our old house to the new
one, I saw him and his litter mates playing in their front yard. It
was a few days before my son's birthday and he was having a hard
time adjusting to the move, so I stopped and asked, and it turned
out they (the home owners) were looking for homes for them. He was
only six weeks old, but as I said, there were some extenuating
circumstances. Even though we originally got him for my son, he soon
bonded with my daughter."
"He's extremely high energy and playful, and used to sit on the
sidelines when she played soccer, pulling at his leash and
'cheering' her on. I think he was the self appointed mascot.
Although he loves to play and run with her, he's also a major
cuddler and is content to snuggle up and fall asleep beside her in a
chair or on the couch. He can also be a bit nervous, especially
during thunder storms, though. His best friend, after her, is Watson
the Wonder Chihuahua,
who normally wins when they 'wrestle'. He's the only mixed breed dog
we own and also has the distinction of being the only dog we own
who's never been sick or had any health problems. It's not that we
have a preference for purebreds, it just worked out that way. Breed
never seems to have anything to do with it, our dogs tend to come to
us by way of serendipity, when we aren't even looking for them."
"As you can see, he has a very sweet, expressive face and striking
markings, reverse brindle and white. People are always remarking how
'cool looking' or pretty he is. He has adorable button ears and
beautiful brown eyes, and sometimes, he behaves like he thinks he's
human. He's also the only dog I've ever known that communicates by
sneezing. When he wants something and you start listing the things
he might want, like asking him, "Do you want to go out? So you want
to go to bed?..." he sits in front of you and whines a little bit
till you get to the one that he wants, then he jumps to his feet,
starts dancing around, wagging his tail, and starts sneezing over
and over again until he gets what he wants. We have no idea why he
does that, but he always has. Sometimes he does it for no other
reason than someone started talking to him in an excited or playful
tone of voice. He's very much a unique character."

This is Benji. He is 17 years old. This picture was
taken a few years ago when he and his owner were backpacking in the Mountains.
Benji is a mixed breed and looks somewhat like a Tibetan
Terrier. His owner says, "He certainly is one of the smartest dogs I
ever seen. Benji adopted my family and trained us how to be good dog owners. I
would never have had a dog if I had my way, but he was to smart for
me."
