Friday Dog Blogging
If it's good enough for cats, its definitely good enough for dogs, I say!
Here are Java and Sappho:
Java's the pomeranian, and a bit of a nuisance. He barks a lot--I think he's got a lot of stories to tell--and he likes to steal Jurgen's food whenever he gets the chance, which is often. Java had his own wilderness experience--four days alone in the high desert of central Oregon--and he's never fully recovered from that. He can't see or hear too well, and sometimes he barks when someone moves suddenly or when he thinks he hears something outside. Java's cuddly, though, and his biggest attribute is that he always stays up with me, no matter how late I'm working on a project. He prances when he goes for walks and he loves the attention he gets from people.
Sappho's part Schipperke and part poodle and truly a wonderful dog. We got her in Manville, ND from a woman named Georgia Mae Kinney. I'm not sure if Georgia is still alive, but if she is, she's probably still raising schipperke/poodle pups to sell for $25. Sappho's been with us on our many adventures the last 12 years, and she's not slowing down much, although we all slowed down a bit when Jurgen came along. Sappho's not much fun to take on a walk--she's independent and headstrong and likes to pull (just like her mama!).
