Our Kids



Since we haven't had kids yet we have pups. We call them our pups because they are only a foot tall, but they are full grown. We got Lucky when he was 8 weeks old on our one year anniversary in 2003 from the Kansas Humane Society. Please feel free to click here to visit their site and view the dogs that need new homes. They update the new adoptions on a regular basis.

We loved Lucky so much we couldn't help ourselves to go out and look for a buddy for Lucky. We wanted to find another smaller dog to be Lucky's playmate. We stumbled into the Animal Shelter ("The Pound") on a cold day in February 2004. It was really depressing to go back and see so many animals without homes that were locked up. We wanted them all, but when we saw Maggie we knew we had to have her. She was 6 months old then. The two are now unseparatable. The following video shows some of the tricks they know how to do. Maggie's trick with pouting just came about when she had gotten in trouble one day and we told her to go pout. She likes to hide under either the couch or our bed. Then when she feels like she has given herself enough time-out she comes back out. It is bazar but she does it.

Both pups also know how to tell you sorry afterwards by giving you a lick on the chin, otherwise they know it is not right to lick one's face all the time (only when they are sorry for something they have done that is bad). We swear they know what we say and we don't have to say Treat we can actually spell it out "Do you want a T.R.E.A.T?" And they know exactly what we mean and go running over to their cookie jar. It is just nuts and crazy! They never cease to amaze us all the time as if we are talking about little humans, but they are the BEST dogs/pups EVER!!!!! We love them very much!
