So, I haven't introduced you to our whole family! We have 2 children and 3 DOGS! Very large dogs! We have Maddie, she is a rottweiler/doberman/Heinz 57 mix. She is our anti-social dog. I acquired Maddie when I was in college at Auburn University! She was our guard dog! HaHa! Anyway, she was our first dog. She is very sweet, the only one that I could leave in the house for 24 hours, that would not have an accident! She is great! This dog will hold her bladder forever! However, she doesn't listen at all! But, only because I never made her listen in college. "You can't teach an old dog new tricks," remember?
Next, is Thor! The kiddos lovingly refer to him as "Fo". Fo is actually Emory's dog. I bought him for Emory as a Christmas gift. I really bought him for me, but passed it off as a gift for Em, so that I could get him. Emory actually said not to get him one! But, anyway....Fo is great. He is a boxer, and he is really the best family dog you could have. He is great with our kids, they can ride him, jump on him, sit on him, whatever they want and he will just sit there! He is so good! Emory trained him, so he can sit, shake, lay, play dumb (oh wait, he is dumb!). Anyway, overall he is probably the best dog we have! Although, I don't like to admit that to Emory! He really is a funny dog, very entertaining. We give him his own special voice, and he talks to us all the time! :) Yes, I am a big animal lover, I talk to my pets and for my pets!!

Okay, last but not least, Riley! AKA....Rufus! Riley is our newest pup. She is a Great Dane. We got her about a year ago. She is a maniac. We got a great dane, b/c they are known for being so laid back and sweet. Riley is not! She is a wild horse. She is so rotten! I absolutely adore her, she is my dog. I wanted a dog that would love me as much as Thor loves Em. Maddie is anti-social, remember. She loves her home, not her owner! :( But, Riley loves me! I mean really loves me! We got her when she was only 8 weeks old! I picked her up from the breeder in Dothan, Alabama and rode all they way home with her in my lap! We bonded. She wants to stand by me, kiss me, lick me, jump on me all the time! Most of the time I love it, but sometimes it becomes a little much to have a 120 lb dog sitting on top of you! She grew very quickly! She is not as tolerant of the kiddos, but she is never mean to them! She doesn't want to be climbed on, and she makes that known! But, the kids love her. She has a tail that could knock over an elephant, I sware! She is strong! Anyway, she is a great pup, just a little crazy!!
