Little Jaws, our son's dog, can be pretty fierce if you are a mouse, a squirrel, a pussycat, a schoolbus or a truck, but he is affectionate with people and loves soft blankets, comfy chairs and sunspots.
He was a rescue dog and we don't know anything about his past. He didn't show signs of abuse but we think he was left alone a fair bit because he will chew blankets sometimes if we aren't home. He may have picked up the habit from being bored at home alone. He is best buddies with Ginger.
Ginger has gotten sleepy in her old age (she is 10) which is probably a good thing because she is somewhat fragile. Last fall, she hurt her back leg or back and it took many weeks of very restricted activity to get her healed up. A few days ago, she reinjured herself but it is not so bad this time and hopefully she will get over it sooner. She is very into food as most Labs are and she is a friend to every person or dog. Her favourite place to sleep is close to her sister, Snap.
Snap is the thoughtful one. She is always "reading" you - body language wise. She loves games, especially ones where she has to find something. She also loves food, but you can win her over with fun just as easily. Unlike her sister, she is often apprehensive of other dogs and prefers playing with people. Although she is 10, she can be puppyish and downright mischievously sneaky- "What's in Snap's mouth?!" at times especially if she thinks the grandchildren are getting too much attention.
Our special furry friends. They add smiles to our lives.
Tonight the edge of Hurricane Sandy will blow through our area. We won't get a lot of rain but the winds will be high. We stocked up on water and food so if the power goes out, we'll be fine.
Hope it's not too bad in the US.
