your dogs are sO cute š¶
I donāt disagree with you, but for some reason I donāt remember actually posting pictures of my beautiful fur babiesā¦.Ā Seems like a situation that needs to be rectified in my opinion so letās go.
First we have Chica (aka. Chica Baby, Cheeky, Cheeky Weeky, Cheeky Weekums, Barky Dog, etc.) who was the first doggo of our currently motley crew. She was aĀ ārescueā in the sense that my grandfather used to raise beagles for hunting and she was born without a functioning ball-and-socket joint in one of her back legs so she could barely run let alone chase rabbits so when I asked, my grandfather let us have her. This was probably⦠six years ago? I donāt remember, I was small. Anyway, this is Chica:
She had to wear this cone for a few days this year and it was ADORABLE but she was NOT happy about it, as you can seeā¦Ā
Sheās our stubborn little old lady.
The dog we got after her, Juli, (aka. Juwi, Juli Platypus, Juli-potomus, Shoe dog, Honky Dog, etc.) is actually her biological sister - from the same litter as Chica and everything - and we got her a few weeks or so after we received Chica because she had allergies that kept her from smelling well so she straight up did NOT want to chase rabbits. Which worked out fine for us.
I feel like some of her nicknames need clarification. Because of her aforementioned allergies she sneezes alot and idk if you knew this but since dogs have such long noses they actually canāt one and done aCHOO it so sheāll sit there for a few seconds and snort/sneeze and itās⦠itās adorable. But it also sounds like a goose. Ergo, Honky Dog. She also likes to carry around AND HIDE shoes so if ever youāve lost a shoe at my house, chances are itās in one of herĀ āhiding placesā. Ergo, Shoe Dog.
Sheās also hella relatable. Look at that face. Sheās our grumpy old lady.
Both of our beagles are low key terrified of thunder storms so whenever one comes around they immediately need to become puppy blanket burritos on the nearest hoomanās lap.Ā
Theyāre very sleepy and warm post-burrito. Itās pretty great.
And then thereās the baby!!! Pepper (aka. Bepper, Pebber, Pep Pep, Pep Pep Pachu, Pepper the Peeper Pooper Pupper, Crazy Dog, Baby Deer, etc.) showed up on July 4th last year, the day after my sister @lily-greeneās birthday so he was her (semi-unwanted) present from the universe.Ā Weāre pretty sure he was abandoned, since he came to us covered in fleas and ticks and he had major abandonment issues for the first few weeks. Wouldnāt go to sleep unless there was a person there.Would whine if he woke up and there wasnāt a person there. That first evening I came home from work and they were de-ticking him in the living room floor with honey and cinnamon. It was weird.Ā Ā
Better yet. Heās weird. Lookit him stuck in the dryer because he tried to get to the catās food. Always so silly. Barely knows how to Dog properly.
Pepper, you canāt just paint the floors like that without running the color by us first, you silly dog!
But now heās a BIG boy. Roughly 45 pounds which is a lot when our old ladies only clock in at about 23 pounds each. Heās not just big though, heās LONG. Twice as long as our old ladies. Twice as tall. His tail was bobbed when we found him, though, so thatās pretty short but what he lacks in length he makes up for in pure enthusiasm!Ā
[for some reason tumblr isnāt letting me put up the video I have of his sweet little boopy tail so I might post it separately later. Hereās his sweet little sleeping pose tho]
Look at him! We like to joke that heās half deer because of how lanky he is.Ā Heās so big compared to baby Cheeky!
So sweet.Ā
I wanna gush over our baby Pi (aka. Pi-Pi, Pea, Baby, Mommyās Baby, etc.) but I feel like Iāve gushed enough, and sheās pretty much pure black so I donāt really have a lot of good pictures of her but these two are my all time favorites because this is straight up the dichotomy of this kitty.
So soft, so pure, so noble. A true lady of the dark shadows and all things that go Mew in the night.
And YETā¦
So vicious. Ready to go. Ready to play. Turn on the laser light hooman, itās time to have some FUN!
This has been my TEDx Talk. All told, Iād say this was a good use of the hour and a half it took to dig up all these photos and pick the right ones. Happy valentines day from me and all my fur babies!
