Cast of Characters

Moe is dog #2 and came from the local shelter. I was at a street fair with the kids one weekend and we passed by a lady with a dog on a leash. The dog stopped to smell the kids and the kids played with him for a while. He was friendly and clean. The lady said, "bye the way, I am from the shelter and this dog is looking for a nice home." The next day Moe moved in to our house. Phom Phuey (dog #1 - see earlier posts) was not pleased but she got over it. Moe is a mutt and he is maybe 1.5 yrs. old.

Mom got Beethoven (dog #3) as a young pup from a friend. She wanted more burgler proofing while I am traveling.  Beethoven is one of 2 or 3 standard types of "Thai" dogs. He has something that is almost like a lion's main. The hair on his back stands up and his lips curl all the way back to show all his teeth and gums when he growls. He doesn't like strangers which suits us fine. He fights Phuey and Moe for thier food, but so far, they can still kick his ass. He is only about 5 months now.

Believe it or not, we are thinking about getting dog #4 soon.
