About my home & chil'un
Wednesday, September 27, 2006

Our oldest (5 years) are litter-mates (2 of 8, as opposed to 7 of 9...) Shiloh and Sully, Lab/Sheperd mix with hints of Chow tossed in for good meassure.

Shiloh looks like a Champion Black Lab, sleek and seal-like, spot of white on his chest but his his tail curls up tight in a very un-Lab-like way.

Brother Sully is WAAAAY more to the Shepherd end of things, all black and tan and a Zorro mask. Chow attribute? A black spot on his tongue.

Slade is the 65 pounder. At a mere 3 years, he's absolutely the smartest thing on four legs ever. I keep having to remind myself he is not a human. (I get surprised when I talk to him and he doesn't answer...) Lab/Pitbull mix. The pet store (I know, I know; but I look at it as a rescue) said Lab/Aussie Shep/ROTTWEILER. Pretty sure they got their killer dogs mixed up on that one. Heart of a terrier in a mini-Shiloh body minus the curly tail. Incidently, in a fair fight, he could take out any two of the others at the same time. And any unarmed spectator within reach. Lucky for us, he is as tenderheart sensitive as you can be.

Two year old Captain Jack is a pure bred German Shepherd Dog. There's a lot of dialog between Sully and him about who's really in charge, but Sully's got about 15 lbs. on him and the division of labor is that Sully gets to be the food Nazi and door guard, perimeter checks and foreign invader clearence fall to Captain.

The baby, just over a year old, of Yellow Lab mom and dubious paternity, is Sir Donatello (the artist not the Ninja Turtle). He's gregarious. He's loving. He's guileless. He's completely devoted and dependent on me. He's totally self-absorbed. He has way too much skin and I'm pretty sure he's our biggest. And he was raised almost single handedly by Captain Jack.

Nice pics of home and family! It's nice to see I'm not the only crazy animal lover here. Well, okay, I'm crazy enough that the number of cats we have now is into double digits, but...

Great looking bunch!
