1. Tucker got his name because it was the only one my husband approved of out of a long list of possibilities and, in fact, his name absolutely suits him to a "T."

2. Tucker was born on January 22, 2007 and came home to us on April 29, 2007.

3. Tucker is very picky about his treats and prefers raw veggies or fruit over traditional dog treats.

4. Tucker has no idea what to do with a ball and can't figure out why I keep throwing it away from him (although the first time we played he understood, never again after that )

5. Tucker loves meeting new faces: people, dogs, cats, whatever. As long as he is center of attention he is happy. If we go somewhere and I don't let him say hello he will refuse to move and bark at me.

6. Tucker likes to chew on rocks.

7. Tucker loves the dog park and is always the smallest one there but that doesn't bother him. He likes to "dominate" others, if you know what I mean.

8. Tucker has successfully mastered "sit" and thinks he should be rewarded every time he sits. He will follow me around, sit at my feet and stare at me waiting for a treat; if I don't give him one he will bark at me.

9. Tucker thinks that when my cell phone rings, it is for him and will come running to answer the phone.

10. I was never a "dog person" before Tucker and I am now 100% head over heels in love with him...even when he does his business in the house.

[MaxwellHouse]

Born 12/15/06.

Finding Maxwell's name was an obsession. I was flying out to get him in Iowa, then in Chicago I called my husband and asked about "Maxwell." I had spent the night at my dad's and he had a giant can of Maxwell House Coffee on the counter. It was the only name we agreed on.

He should have been named Houdini.

Has his own room. Ooops, if my mother-in-law decides to visit.

Loves to chase deer (on a 50 ft. long lead).

Eats deer poop when we're not on the ball.

Maxwell proudly brought us a ball of bear poop yesterday.

He is an athlete, but lucky for me will cuddle when he's sleepy.

Finally starting to learn to come when called.

Makes us smile constantly.

What a fabulous thread! Here's my Mango's Bio:

1) She was born Nov 24 2006.

2) She was the same size as a soup can when we brought her home; she is now 3.5 lbs.

3) Mango owns her Mommy (that's me) and orders her around constantly, yapping at her heels if she doesn't listen.

4) Mango was completely toilet trained by 4 months. This seems to be the only thing she has learned properly.

5) Mango went to puppy school; she graduated bottom of the class {See post #4} (was probably passed on the cuteness factor alone).

6) Mango likes to read..... she does that every day and then turns the paper into molecules. She tells me if she eats a newspaper, she will absorb knowledge. I do not believe her.

7) Mango's favorite toy is her Mommy's toes. I tried spraying them with Bitter Apple, but Hubby complained about the smell.

8) Mango loves to garden..... especially indoors, where she regularly unpacks the potted plants.

9) Mango loves to give kisses, especially when Mommy is sleeping, so that her little tongue can scoop out the flies from her open mouth.

10) Mango is my favorite person in the entire world (she tells me she is NOT a dog).

10 random facts about Sully...

1. Sully goes to work at a photography studio everyday with mommy! (me)

2. Sully is not a chewer and has NEVER destroyed a toy!

3. Sully knew "shake" "sit" "stay" "lay down" "play dead" and "come" by the age of 13 weeks old.

4. Sully will only eat his food when one of us is in the room with him. Even if he's really hungry, and I put his food down on his mat in the kitchen and go back upstairs, he'll abandon his food and follow me.

5. Of all the amazing tricks Sully CAN do, he refuses to play fetch. He's all about the "come get me" game.....but fetch, he will not do. I'm determined to find a workable training method to teach him, but haven't thus far.

6. Sully was born August 8, 2004, in Lafollette, TN. He was in a litter of 3 puppies - 2 girls and one boy!

7. He has a weakness for munching in the cat box (gross, I know) so we always have to keep the cat box on top of the dryer.

8. Sully's mom was 7 pounds, and his dad was 6 pounds. However.....he is about 10 pounds. (oh well!)

9. Sully is a trained therapy dog, though we haven't gotten re-connected with a new dog therapy group since we moved to the east coast. (It's on my to-do list, I promise.) It really touches my heart to see him being so loving and gentle to people - and see how much his company cheers them up.

10. Sully only likes "plush" toys. Especially ones with squeakers, of course. But if the toy is plastic-y, he won't play with it - ever.
