As of April 28, 2008, I have ten dogs. Four of them are small inside dogs, and the rest are LARGE outside dogs. Three inside dogs are chihuahuas and the other is a terrier mix. I have one full black lab outside and the rest are lab mixes. I am working on getting pictures up for my current dogs. Some of the dogs below are no longer with us. :(
WOSIB 2007 Pet Show
Unfortunately my dogs didn't win the pet show, but they *did* receive participant plaques. :D
 
The Chihuahuas
THREE! Yes, three chis. And they're all yappers. Their names are Peanut, Ida Mae, and Tater. My oldest chihuahua, ChiChi, passed away in December '04. *sob* I really miss her. You can hover over the pictures below to see their names.
 
The Terrier Mix
I adopted Spicy from a coworker in August 2006 when she was five months old. We celebrated her first birthday in March 2007. She will never replace ChiChi, but she does bring joy to my life. She is wonderful!
The Black Lab
Jinx -- I'm not sure when he was born, but we've had him for quite a while.... he's at least 10 years old, I'm sure. He's by far the greatest dog we've ever known.
The Lab Mixes
I have six black lab mixes, so I am going to list them all in this section. I don't have pictures yet, but hopefully they will be up soon. Sophie was dumped at the top of our road a few years ago. I couldn't let her run around without food or someone to care for her, so I adopted her. She was extremely shy at first, but now she is very sweet and loves attention. Another random black lab appeared at our house several months later, and I couldn't turn him away. I call him "The Crazy Dog" because he has an odd look in his eyes. I've yet to find a name the really suits him. Shortly after arriving at our house, Sophie gave birth to eight puppies. We thought someone was going to take a couple of them, but they didn't, so we decided to keep the three that we were holding for that person to choose from. Their names are Curious (female), JJ (he's no longer with us), and Fatsy. About six months or so ago, a neighbor's dog snuck into our yard and Sophie once again had puppies. She had them under our house so when they came out they were half wild. When it was time to send them to new homes, there was one puppy we couldn't catch so we had to keep him. His name is Licky Fat Fetty.
These dogs are no longer with us. :(The Lab Mix
JJ -- He was a sweetheart! He passed away when he was a little over a year old. He showed no signs of illness and passed rather abruptly. I found him paralyzed one evening and he was gone before we could get him to the vet.
The Pit Bull
Noopy -- He was born in April 2001, and we got him when he was around a year old. He was such a big baby! He was an inside dog until we got him, so he was constantly trying to get in the house. Unfortunately, he broke his chain one night and was hit by a car.
The Great Pyrenees
Sadie -- She is one of the dogs that disappeared. There's a rumor going around that someone in our neighborhood has been poisoning dogs... Hm. We had her for approximately 10 years before she disappeared. I say "we" but I actually mean she's been in the family that long. My uncle lived across the street from us and he got her when he bought a bunch of goats. Eventually they moved to the back of one our fields, but Sadie stayed with us... and so she became our dog.
The Mutt
Booger -- He was a stray puppy that just showed up one day. He is the other outside dog that disappeared. He was old, too. We had him for at least seven or eight years... I can't really remember.
