This our pup - well he’s almost 4. A coton de tulear - his coat feels like cotton, doesn’t shed much. Great companion to us. Won’t do steps, walks on a leash only when it’s cold out. Definitely a hambone - here he is wanting to play fight with me in our yard.

He's a cutie Mike !

Thank you Dave, he’s our baby ;-)

Our last guy, a Scottie was 40lbs of muscle (double the size of a normal Scottie and 4x the attitude). Loved him too, just way different than this guy as all pups are...

This was Allie, a rescue from the Chattanooga, TN Shelter and was 15 minutes away from being put down when she was pulled and we were selected to adopt her from a list the rescuer had and reviewed. She was covered in mange and abused. Imprint of a chain around her neck. She was the dog that over the years bonded with me the most and the reason I wouldn't get another dog when she was gone. After 8 years I caved and we got or current rescue Abby. When she was nursed back to health (55 lbs of solid muscle) and I would walk her in our neighborhood people would stop me and ask if I would breed her. I just laughed and said none of that for her as she's fixed to protect her from that. Sorry for the rant. Tearing up as I type, RIP Allie....

Archie’s a character. Standard Poodle, almost a year old. He’s our third Standard and they’re all different in their own way. #freethepoodle

Wonderful story, and Allie got her best life after being put through hell by some real pieces of $hyte, who don't deserve to be called humans.
