Pets-Past and Present |

Sumo We've had him since he was small enough to fit in the palms of my hands (wasn't he adorable) He's now 10 years old, and just as stubborn, demanding, single-minded and adorable as always. Cursed with a sensitive digestive system, his diet has developed into that of a vegetarian over the past couple of years. ***April 2007- After 12 1/2 years of friendship with this wonderful guy, we had to put him down. He lived a great life and is terribly missed. |
Shadow He came to us at 6 months old with a terrible puppyhood behind him. He was a cuddly, loving, melt-in-you-arms kind of dog with me, but very distrustful of people. Unfortunately, that sensitive rottweiler digestive system created problems and he ended up with an inverted bowel. ***We put him down this past summer. (2004) I miss him terribly. |
Okay. I love dogs, what can I say. Three days after putting Sumo down, I was going crazy and had to get another puppy. I got on the internet and searched for puppies for sale in the area and found this guy. Black lab with a black mother and a chocolate colored father, we picked him up when he was eight weeks old. His name is Storm and he's been enough of a handful (what puppy isn't) to keep my mind off missing Sumo. I'll get some photos of him older and put them on the site.

Yep. It took me awhile, but here is Storm at about 1 1/2 years old. I was always of the understanding that Labradors
were calm, family dogs. Well, no one told me that it takes about 3 years for them to settle down. Storm is great, but I'm
looking forward the the "calm" days not too far in the future.

After getting goats for pets and hearing the coyotes howl at night, I realized we needed a Livestock Guardian Dog to protect
my pets. We bought a Maremma, named him Timber, and have come to rely on him. My husband keeps reminding
me that he's the only one of our pets who actually earns his keep. And he does. These LGD's are the most amazing
dogs and I would never be without one as a protector for my goats again.

Timber works hard at keeping the coyotes away, so I figured he could use some help. Besides, these LGD's work
better in teams. So, we got a puppy. And since I have fallen in love with the breed, we got another Maremma.
His name is Phantom.
