I should be studying for my Physics final, but I am going to talk about Simon instead.

1. Simon was born January 14, 2006

2. I drove four hours and back to get him, which isn't that far, but on the way back, there was a huge fire and I-40 was shut down for like, 60 miles. So, I had to get through fire to get him home. I got to stay home from work the next day because of it, and that's how we got started.

3. He believes I am the love of his life, and I think he's mine.

4. He has a couple nick names, Bubba Wubba, Stinky boy, and just Bubba.


5. He has a stuffed animal named after him, a little girl I babysit loves to play with Simon, the real thing, and the stuffed animal. She calls me Simon's mom.

6. He likes to stick his head out the window in the car. One time, he tried to jump out of the car, so mama watches him really close and holds on tight to him.

7. He has two best friends, Stella and Tess. They are our Golden Retrievers. We have another Golden, Blue, but he is mean to Simon, and although Simon tries to be friends, Blue wants nothing to do with him.

8. Simon is still not housetrained. I think he pooped in the dining room already today!

9. Simon was named by my friend, but I wish I could change his name. I wanted an S name, because I want to name my next girl yorkie Suki. It's too bad though, because I am stuck with it.

10. Simon is a mama's boy. When he was a puppy, he would sleep in my clothes when I was gone until I came home.

Here is one of my favorite pics, he has his blankie in the background.

[mire]

Rylie:
1. He was born April 25, 2005 and we adopted him July 5th, 2005.
2. The first time my b/f (Rylie's dad) held him , he knew instantly Rylie was ours. It took me an extra five minutes to agree.
3. I had never owned a dog before and I was so scared. I checked Rylie to see if he was breathing while he slept. Sometimes I still do.
4. Within one week of adopting him, Rylie ran towards a door I was closing and his paw got stuck. His cry broke my heart but thank goodness he did not break his leg.
5. When Rylie was a baby, he was terrified of stairs. Now he runs up & down them like a total pro.
6. For a few weeks, Rylie would pee on the floor in front of his dad for no reason-- maybe to assert his dominance? That stage passed quickly, thank goodness!
7. Rylie laughs. And he has the sweetest laugh.
8. Rylie comes to get us when he's gone potty. He loves potty praise!
9. Rylie loves Cheese Doodles and has a girlfriend-- a 5 year old Yorkie named Bernadette.
10. Rylie loves his baby sister Layla, but he'd never admit it.

4. Layla hates wearing clothes, her leash or cute barrettes, which disappoints her mommy greatly.
5. Layla learned to outsmart her brother and her parents very quickly. She does things Rylie never did or still can't do. There's nothing she can't get away with and no gate or Xpen can hold her back.
6. Layla loves to snuggle.
7. When we talk, she acts like she's listening. She even cocks her head and leans forward, like Larry King.
8. I give her more food than I do Rylie because she's sooooo skinny (sorry, Rylie!)
9. Layla makes me laugh harder than any human I know.
10. Layla loves her older brother, but she'd never admit it.

[stellablu]

1. His full name is Sir Willem Jack Tucker of Yorkshire. I figured a nice, lengthy name would make him sound more official in the agility ring. hah

2. He is apparently full-breed, but weighs in at 23 lbs. All love, baby.

3. He knows a bunch of tricks on hand-signal only, no vocals. Some of the tricks are speak, shake, high-five, give me ten, roll over, herd, retrieve, and stay.

4. He is amazing in the agility course; a lot of speed, alert and willing to make a run with enthusiasm. However, ask him to come on a morning run with me and you're pulling teeth.

5. He has a girlfriend. Not your conventional girlfriend for a male yorkie, though. She is a year-old bengal kitten named Cleo. He will herd her back inside from the screened porch on command, and she sits and gives him three-minute long face baths. They sleep curled in a ball together. It's very cute, but I'm afraid Tucker thinks of himself as a bit of a feline, and vice versa...which leaves us with two VERY confused animals.

6. He has a cotton coat, rather than silky. I keep him in a puppy cut, rather than long; however, I leave his face shaggy. I occasionally clip him into a schnauzer cut during summertime, but overall he looks like a black and tan sheepdog pup. haha

7. His favorite toy is his Octopus, a thin-rubber squeak toy in the shape of...well, an octopus. A normal dog would have chewed that poor toy up by now, but he gently carries it around making sure it squeaks on occasion. If Tucker is ever MIA we just find his Octopus and squeeze it, he'll come running from where ever it was he was napping!

8. He is the friendliest canine you'll ever meet. He doesn't discriminate against anyone, whether you're human, canine, feline, or otherwise. He was socialized with my daughter, our rats, sugar gliders, horses and a monkey since he was a young pup. He is always the hit at the dog park and makes friends quick with the pizza guy or UPS. Unfortunately, he'll let just about anyone come in the house. We have frequent visits from a tomcat who likes to sneak in our house, eat the cat food, use the litter box and give himself a bath in the middle of the living room floor like he owns the house. Tucker has even cracked the backdoor to let the tomcat in...twice!

9. He isn't fond of water, or car rides. We live moments from the beach and own a pool, but he has no interest in either one. As far as cars go, I have tried everything (a small kennel in the back, doggie belting him in, etc) but he prefers to sit on my shoulders, think mink shawl. Needless to say, 90% of the time he is in the car...I'm not the one driving. He'll sit in my lap or in the backseat when I'm a passenger, but when I'm driving he tends to become a baby. (Any advice? ha)

10. He LOVES Wheat Thins and baby carrots. I don't feed him "table scraps" or human food often, but he knows what the Wheat Thins box looks like and tries every trick in the book to get a few. How can I resist?

And one extra random fact... sometimes I pull his bangs back into a ponytail atop his head. You can watch as his masculinity drains away as he pouts until I remove the hairband. hahah hey, I guess I just need a female yorkie, too! Poor Tucker!

7. She stops what she is doing and runs to the door when she hears my daughters car drive up and then gives her kisses...and kisses...and more kisses..
8. She doesn't eat much unless I hand feed her....or throw the kibble like its a game, but she loves her cottage cheese.
9. She growls and barks if my husband hugs and kisses me.
