I had Oscar since he was 8 weeks old and he is the man of the house. He has the biggest personality I have ever seen in any dog. He is our Gandhi Dog.. he is so sweet to every one and everything. He wants to be friends with everyone. I love him and he is spoiled rotten by all the women in his life :o) (especially by his mommie)

Zoie is my sweet girl. She was rescued from an abusive family and came to us in August of '03. She is 70lbs and 2 1/2 years old and still acts like a puppy. She loves to sit with me while I'm in the shower and demands to be blow-dried whenever I dry my hair. She loves children, getting her teeth brushed, and sleeping on the loveseat. She brings a smile to my face each time I think of her. I think everyone should have a Rotti!

Sunday morning cuddle session with Daddy.

We call him "Sippi" or "Boy" for short - he is 9 years young. Sippi likes to snuggle under the covers at night with his blanket. He is extremely smart and has so much energy. Awesome breed!

Conrad is a full blooded Akita who is now 6 months old. When I got him he was 3 months old. I got him because my other puppy who was 7 months old named Bear died of kidney disease. He was an Akita/Shepherd and my dad liked the Akita since we did a lot of reading on Akitas when Bear died. Conrad is a big teddy bear but you have to be careful because he can get mean. Here's a picture of Bear my 7 month old Akita/Shepherd mix because right now my pictures are on another computer.

Pogo a.k.a. "Crazy" is very talented. He'll even bring you his plate when he's ready for a snack. He's the subject of many conversations, loves to ride in the car and has his own email address.

Hi my name is Frodo, I'm 14 months old and weigh 24lbs. I live in Oregon and I hate the rain! I am very loved by my Mom, Dad and Grandma and Grandpa. But I'm very special to Mom, she has an illness that causes lot of pain and depression. She says that when she holds me it makes her feel better. And I like to do things to make her laugh. I also love my toys and I have lots of them.

This is my "Mama's boy". Tom accuses me of loving Moses more than him! He goes everywhere that I can take him. He's also VERY protective of his Mama. He's 16 months old in this picture and just keeps getting more and more handsome.

Jake is an Akita/German Shepherd cross. He came from our local Humane Society and is truly a gift from above. Not only is he one of the most beautiful dogs I've ever seen with his rich brindle coat, but his personality is outstanding and he's the greatest companion and protector we could have ever asked for!

Belvi is the biggest party animal in the world! He loves to relax on the porch all day long, then hang out with the college kids all night. He also loves watching Notre Dame football, and is our unofficial mascot.
