Ok, I am going to bore y'all to death by blogging about my dogs. :-) I blog about the kids all the time, and the dogs are my kids too. And I'm extremely bored, so.....
We got Zeus on Labor day 2008. He was a gift to Blaine for his 16th birthday. I found Zeus on Craig's List. Blaine was at football practice so as a surprise, Garrett and I drove to Sulphur Springs to get Zeus, once we were selected as the family. Zeus was rescued by the sweetest young couple. They don't have kids, so they spend their time and money rescuing dogs individually and finding them homes. Zeus was a dog that was kept outside in a 3x3 pen, mossy water bowl, left out in the elements. They found out about him, approached the owner and the owner agreed to let them find him a home. He had mange, worms, the poor little guy was in bad shape. They rescued him, got all the health things taken care of and had him neutered.
Now 5 months later, Zeus is so full of life. He is the alpha dog, but Faith will dispute that one. He is the smallest of the bunch, weighing in at a whopping 3 pounds. He is the caretaker, he grooms the girls' ears. He LOVES attention ALLLL THE TIME, and is a burrower. He loves to burrow in blankets. Right now he is sitting in my lap with his head resting on the laptop while I type. Just love this little man!
Here is a pic of him the day we brought him home. He was still recovering from mange, his hair had all fallen out and was just growing back.

And here he is a month or so after we got him. He had just claimed "the princess bed" and was feeling at home....
And here he is now.... long shaggy yorkie wirey hair and all.
He is just the cutest thing! So glad he is enjoying being the alpha boy out of all those girly dogs! :)
