All creatures small
No interesting story today just thought I'd share our pets with you.
These are our dogs: Tico, the long haired Chihuahua(we think), Keno, the some kind of terrier mix and Willow, the Chug (Pug/Chihuahua).
We should have named them Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber.
They all sleep in bed with us every night and they hog all the covers. Even in summer, Willow gets under the covers and she likes to put her head on my pillow. I swear if she starts spooning me her butt will be sleeping in the kennel. Sometimes she snores louder than grumpy (husband).
We also have five ungrateful indoor only cats who all weigh more than any of the dogs (Scout, Boo, Dinky, Bob and Amber - she came with that name). People are always amazed (and sometimes disgusted) that we have that many animals. All but two were rescues who needed a home so we took them in. This is what happens when your close friend runs a cat shelter.
Our cat Scout has a special kind of stupidity and she gets herself locked into closets, drawers and even filing cabinets. She sneaks in when you are putting away laundry or the like. She burrows into a corner or something and then you close the door without even seeing her. The next thing you know three days have gone by and you are wondering to yourself when was the last time I saw Scout?
She doesn't make a sound the whole time either, which is so irritating because she normally walks around "talking". You end up running through the house panicked thinking that she has escaped outside and she is too stupid to live out there and then you have to go through anything that opens trying to find her.
The moment you open the escape hatch to whatever she has gotten herself locked in she will blink up at you because she has been in pitch black for a couple of days, then she meows, runs off to eat, drink and take a shit before she looks for a new trap door. I have actually locked her into two seperate dressers on the same day.

So cute! I can't wait until we get to go to the dog park again. Especially if we can get my bro and sis to go and then we can have a 6-little-dog brigade!

Ooooh. I love small dogs for their huge personalities (these three are bristling with promise). I've got two, myself.

sara - They are addictive I swear! I really enjoy your site!
Oh Knees - I knew you would be a tiny dog freak too! Someday I will have a whole small dog herd, I hope. I love me some kitties too though.
