Gone to the dogs
Laika ("I own everyone and everything in the house, the yard, the
block, the whole neighbhood, possibly the whole city") - toy poodle, 6
pounds, neutered male, arrived Jan 17 1999 at 3 1/2 years old.
Inherited from my mother.

Angel ("Yes, I *am* the world's sweetest dog, and yes, I do have
anti-gravity pods in my feet") - Chinese Crested powder puff, 14
pounds, spayed female, arrived Feb 6 2004 at around 1 year
old. Adopted from Tiny Tails.
Angel is my agility dog: here are photos of her coming out of the tunnel and leaping over a jump at a local fun match.

RIP Dolly ("I need to know everything that's going on so I can comment
on it or complain about it") - chihuahua mix, 8 pounds, spayed female,
arrived Jan 9 2001 at around 8 - 10 years old. Adopted from C.A.R.E.
I am very sad to announce that Dolly suffered a suspected
stroke on 09/26/2006, and showed no improvement after 24 hours in
intensive care. I held her as she went to the Rainbow
Bridge at approx. 10:55 pm, 09/27/2006.

No, you're not seeing triple. At the vet - 3 identical chihuahua-like
creatures, all there at the same time. From left to right: Dolly,
Baxter, Lulu. Not related, as far as we know. Baxter is another client
of my vet's, and Lulu belongs to one of his vet techs.

All three

In Memory of Tanner, toy poodle. 1987 (approx) -
2004. Arrived Oct 9, 1999 at around 12 years old.
Adopted from Tiny Tails.
