If there is anything that we have learned from our dogs these past few years is that they are not normal. In fact in looking back we have never had a "normal" dog. We have always had characters. Dax our little 63 lbs of wiggle as we call her, has been our watch dog lately. She loves to sit on the arm of the couch and look out her window, every once in awhile she lets out this big doggie bark that surprises everyone including herself to let us know that someone, or something has entered into her yard.
Tanna is now officially our "old doggie" she is not very impressed with her new summer hair cut but is allot cooler at night and allot happier. She has not only gotten lippy and needs the last word all the time but she is all about the naps now. When your 10 or 70 in dog years naps are very important and they are always better in the bed and she starts complaining around 10pm to let us know we should be getting our butts ready to go to bed too.

Then there is Chadish, he is our 110 lb "what a dog" because he usually does things that requires us to look at each other, shake our heads and say "What a dog!" In this picture below he is laying in his usual sleeping position. I placed a leaf in a strategic part so it doesn't offend anyone ;0) He loves to be on his back, legs in the air and mouth open to expose his beautiful pearly white teeth and snores like a bloody freight train.
