Meet Our Dogs

Since most of this blog is about our sweet Lorelei, I thought we should at least give our first babies (Maggie & Milo) a little recognition.

Meet our doggies...

Maggie the Westie:

Maggie was born April 6, 2005 to Popcorn Harlan. Popcorn had three puppies, but only two lived. So, Maggie just had one brother. We bought Maggie from a family in Slaton, Texas. The two kids in the family loved Maggie and called her "Princess Leia," so this is sometimes a nickname for her. We fell in love with Maggie instantly. Maggie is a sweet dog, but has quit an attitude. She is never mean, usually lazy, and always likes to be petted and loved on. She loves holding conversations with you and tolerates her brother, Milo, most of the time.

Milo the Maltese:

Milo was born June 30, 2006. We do not know his parents. We do not know where he came from...other than the stinky cage at the pet store. We do know he had a brother, who was covered in fleas. We know this because we spent time playing with his brother and we were planning to buy his brother before we noticed the fleas. So then we changed our minds and got Milo. Milo was an impulse buy. We don't buy much without lots of planning and research, but Milo was not one bit planned. After the first day or so with Milo, Rob was convinced we needed to return him to the pet store. But, we are glad we kept him (most days) and love his energy and happy-go-lucky personality. Milo is never grumpy, never sad, and can always put a smile on your face. However, we can't go without mentioning that Milo is not the smartest or most well mannered Maltese there ever was. Let's just say he still can't jump on the couch, loves barking at the highest possible decibel level when he meets new people, has a difficult time controlling his bladder, and loves chewing up things he finds in the trash can. Even still, we love him to pieces. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that Milo is famous. He was featured on in Dec. 2009 "Page-a-day Dog Calendar."
