Charlie (brown dog) is a 2 year old Mini Australian Shepherd. He is just a little guy and has the craziest eyes I've ever seen on a dog. But we love him. He recently decided that riding in the back of Jeff's truck wasn't fun enough and decided to hurtle himself out of the back of the truck (while we were driving). It was quite the traumatic experience for the family, especially Gracie. She was the one who saw him jump out and land on the road. Well, after a few surgeries to repair a shattered pelvis, the cone of shame and quite a few trips to the Vet to repair stapes...he is starting to recover. He has finally started to put weight on his leg and walk on all fours. Yay :)
He is such a snugly dog and would love to be held 24/7.
Lola (black dog) is Charlies sister, from the same litter. Of course, they are as different as can be! Lola is definitely the alpha female. She pretty much tells Charlie what to do (and Charlie just obeys). She is about twice the size of Charlie and Gracie and Jeff have taken to calling her Fatty McFats. (Hopefully that doesn't give her a complex!) But her girth doesn't slow her down one bit. She is a fast runner and can jump onto just about any piece of furniture. When she is excited, her whole back side just waggles back and forth. It's the best!! Really she just believes that she is the princess of the house and should be treated as such :)
Pretty much their favorite spot in the house....This used to be a nice big comfy chair (for me!) in our bedroom. Tucked into the bay window with a beautiful view of the backyard, creek & mountains. Now it's a great view for the dogs.
