Meet the Pack!! (part two)

Photobucket

Now, I introduce you to the queen diva, the "Boss" of the pack, my dear Bella. Bella, akc registered name "Ciao Bella" because she was such an explorer as a pup, snaking out of her harness and running into the neighbors house while he napped (his front door was wide open), which caused me much embarrassment. She is the Queen of the pack, and she WILL let you know it!! She is also the best snuggler, always hoping for me to pick her up and hold her like a baby. She has a bossy streak though, that is crazy. She will chase off any dog, any breed, barking her fool head off, if they get too much "in her bizness"!! She is also very attached to her daddy. Little daddy's girl!

This is my boy, Filo, a striking lab/shar-pei mix. The "big man" of the pack, he was my first dog since childhood. A year old when we adopted him, he is now approaching 13. Through his life, he has been the super athlete of the pack, accompanying us snowshoeing, mountain biking, and boating. Those days are over, as he has lots of arthritis, but he still loves to swim and it is the best exercise for him now with the arthritis. Love you Filo!!

Meet Monster, the Buddha pug, my little soul mate. He is my first pug, and is the most amazing creature. Part human, part zen-master, part clown, he has such a wonderful spirit. Monster just celebrated his 10th birthday, and I pray for many more with my little "pit-sniffer"!!
