How/When I joined the pack:  I was wanted before I was even born.  Matt had taken a "What dog is right for you quiz?"  I came up, they found a breeder and the rest is history.   On April 3rd 2010 I was flown into Ontario, CA from Rhome, TX to meet my new mother Rachael and my uncle Brandon.  I was nervous at first so I weeed all over the airport  floor.  That night I snuggled with my new pack.
 
What I love most about my dogs:

1) I can say who wants a biscuit and they know to get out of the kitchen.

2) They're so damn cute begging

3) When we come home Digg does laps -couch to couch, room to room.  We hold Harper back and cheer him on "Laps, Laps, Laps, Laps!"

4) They know the difference between workout clothes and work clothes.  When I have hiking clothes on there's no tricking them- they know they're going on a hike.  When I'm getting ready for work-they don't bother me. What if I wanted to wear something sporty to work though??

 5) They've made a sound for a figure 8.  They've got a particular route in the backyard in the shape of a figure 8...When they're real excited you can hear it because of the timing of Digg banging into the side of the house.

I'm so blessed to have these two wonderful, smart, protective and pack loving dogs. I'll miss you next week!~
