Now for something a little more toothy...

These are the dogs of the house, lucky for us all there are only three!

This is Junior.

He is the most nervous member of our family. He spends way too much time worrying about running things, little does he notice - the women are taking over! Junior is a character (aren't all Cockers?) he tries to protect all toys from the various assaults by Thrall, usually to no avail. They end up gutted anyway.

Speaking of Thrall...

I am not even sure how to describe Thrall. He is a dog that thinks he is a cat. Here he sits in a cat play area, looking back with cat toy in mouth as if to say, "What do you mean I don't fit?!" He is one funny young man, and always keeps the other animals on their paws. Being the largest dog we hang with, he somehow always seems to find a spot on our queen size bed...on my side :-(

Saving the best for last, This is Kasha.

I am sure being in her life for 15 years has made me slightly biased, but if Ayah is the princess, Kasha is undoubtedly the QUEEN! She has always acted accordingly, refusing to engage in any behavior she deems beneath her. Since Chris has happened into her life, she's chosen to bestow her most lavish praise upon him... and NO ONE else. I took the first picture because if you look closely, she is cuddling with her daddy's slipper, pathetic! (I'm NOT envious!). She has been sick lately with liver damage, and severely low blood cell and platelet counts. She is slowly on the mend, and runs around like she is a sprightly ten years old again! :-)

Keep your eyes posted for future posts about extended furry family members, and there a lot of them! Including goats, horses, and my Auntie even claims geese and roosters as family members! If you would like to share your furry family with everyone we would be honored to put a mug shot up here for you. Just email it to Chris or myself and give us a bit of story to it, and we will take care of the rest. :-)
