THE DOG

I always knew we would get a dog (I can only take so much begging before I give in....). I pictured a German Shepherd or maybe a Lab....something big with a name like Buck that leaves hair all over. Instead we have adopted a sweet, little lap dog!! Her name is Truffles but right away her nickname became Truffie. We got her from some of our friends who loved her very much but because of their moving situation thought it might be best to have Truffie stay in one place. When I think lap dog I think....yap, yap, yap all day long, but Truffie rarely barks, which is sooooo nice....as is the fact that she doesn't shed!! Yeah!! She is very protective of Troy and has to jump in if Troy and the kids are wrestling around. Probably the funniest thing to watch is when she is done with her bath, she runs around the upstairs pushing her ears on the floor (to dry them I guess). It gives the whole family a fit of giggles. (I'll post a video of it sometime)



Brya loves Truffie very much and is always willing to take her out for her walk!


Our very intelligent dog!!....she loves this chair and will sit on whatever is already on the chair if she must.


One of her toys is a pacifier. It is hilarious to see her walk around with it.

Just the right size for Thea!

So cute! And, you're right, just the right size for your kids. Tucker still acts like a puppy and would love to be a lap dog, but at 75+/- pounds he's too big for all that!!
