Every three ring circus has a dog act and our household is no exception.
Here is a count down of exactly why I've decided our little pack of pooches are completely nuts.


4. Brandon's Chihuahua/Jack Russel will stand in front of you jumping 2 feet into the air repeatedly until you give in and let him in your lap.

3. My old little Terrier has spent the last 9 or so years sleeping on my legs but these last two years has taken to growling at me if I dare to move and disturb his precious sleep.

2. My daughter's Chihuahua/Min Pin ran around the house the other day screaming and yelping hysterically. I was sure it was seriously injured and would have to be rushed in to have a leg set or something. When I finally caught it come to find out it had swallowed some of Emily's hair (that it likes to chew on) and it was distressed by the dingle berry that it had caused!!!!

And the number one reason my dogs are nuts.......


1. My husband's Boston/Boxer gets startled very easily and is a tad... say....jumpy. Occasionally if she gets frightened in the back yard she'll jump up on this 6 foot fence post. Unfortunately once she is perched up on that post with all 4 feet she can't or won't jump down. So, she sits there crying until my dh misses her and goes looking for her. Now when she doesn't come in when called he automatically goes there to see if she is on the post.

Christmas was pretty much all about well...obviously Christ...but present wise for the kids it was all about American Girls and Archery supplies.

Also, Emily got a puppy. Because Yes By Golly we needed another animal around here. Both the girl and the dog are extremely high strung. It's either a match made in heaven or a friendship bound for disaster.
