Joe, how did you know this was my favourite topic??? I could talk about my kids all day!! (but I won't cuz some may find it boring!)
I have 2 dogs as well. Cosmo(named after Kramer, cuz he'd enter a room like no other!) we adopted from the pound. He's a Black Lab cross. Crossed with what, we're not sure, but his hair's a bit longer than a Lab and his ears are shorter. He has amazing eyesight,(he springs at the TV when he sees dogs, cats, birds on) so, I'm thinking he's a mix of some sort of herding dog. He's 3 yrs old.
Casey we picked her up at a farm. She is Lab. Kind of a Lab mix. He dad was a Chocolate Lab and her mom was a Black Lab. She is pure comical genius as she is the younger of the 2 and is going to be a puppy most of her life. She'll be 2 in Dec. Casey too, is afraid of most larger objects, especially ones that make noise, (vaccuum, lawnmower, garden hose) but she can assert her dominancy when she wants.
In May, we were going to my sister in law's wedding, and we had to put them in a kennel for the first time. In the back where they would be let out to play, there were about 4 other dogs in this particular enclosing. Comso, went right in, to sniff the perimeter and other dogs, Casey would not leave my side. She was getting sniffed at by a friendly rotti who obviously wanted her to play. All of a sudden Casey lashed out at the rotti , basically telling him to leave her alone, the owner of the kennel(to whom the rotti belonged) says"well I guess we know who rules the roost now", just as he says this I look up and poor Cosmo's over in the corner getting humped by some burly shephard cross!! It was after this we finally knew who the alpha was in our house!!
Sorry for the long post, (I could go on forever!) these guys are all the kids I want right now, and I'll still be happy if they're all I'll ever have.
