*Pause*

Wife: "What're we gonna name her?"

Yeah, that sounds familiar. Except I'm the one that refuses to rescue any more damn animals {grumble grumble} aww, look at those little feet!

Hmm, I'll take a shot at being the old crudmugen. God made the wolf. We took the wolf and crossbred it to achieve the Corgi. A cute dog to be sure but those short legs. Corgi's will never make it during the zombie apocalypse.

Our girls are both rescues. They won the Shihtzu lottery, to be sure...

Watching football is a team sport at our house...

Bobbi G will make out just fine. She's cheetah fast. Well...OK, maybe not that fast. But I can shoot pretty good and I love my dogs. And like I said...she'll eat anything. So property cleanup is a non-issue after we exterminate the zombies with extreme prejudice.

Dude...you should see me in an animal shelter. Pathetic.

I can imagine.

We rescued Archie from a puppy mill in the spring of '09. Poor guy had only known a kennel his first couple years of life, was obviously treated badly/abused by a man as it took him the better part of a year to be comfortable with me. Had a terrible case of mange that made him look like he'd been shaved by an apprentice barber.

He is quite the character these day, and very mischeviousAttachment 15685 He travels with us to some of the larger bmx events in the state, along with Wendel the smooth collie-mutt we rescued the year before we found Archie. Archie really was forced out of his shel lby the other dog, it was fun to watch the teacher and the student evolve with the 2 dogs.

Looks like a soft, warm spot for little dogs.
