Sandy & Midnight

Two chihuahua-pugs. They're "brother-sister," believe it or not. Had them since I was in, I'd say, the seventh grade. Known for chasing cars that exit our driveway.

Simba, Robin, and the pups

Pretty much one big, happy, golden retriever family! Known for making a lot of noise when strangers hang around their territory (a fenced in part of the backyard).

Kuli

Another one of the dogs that were left behind from our house's previous occupants. Cookie's mother. Known as that pudgy, old dog that tries hard to jump on people, but can jump only so far.

The birds/fowl

Aside from my crap-load of dogs, I have a crap-load of birds, too. Homing pigeons, chickens, geese, ducks...yeah.

Toobie

Just got this dog, a German shepherd-some-kind-of- Alaskan-breed mix, late 2002. Known for whining a lot, barking back when yelled at, and shoving people who are in his way with his muzzle.

Ranger

One of four dogs that were left from our house's previous occupants; we moved in during late 2001. Looks a little like Toobie, but older, heavier and less energetic. Known for sleeping a lot.

Cookie

You guessed it - another one of the abandoned dogs. Kuli's "son." He was mean when we first moved in - wouldn't let us pet him, would try to bite us even - but now that he's used to us, he's mellowed out. Still barks at strangers, of course.
