About the Dog Pack

Tish really wants to type this, but she's so excited she can't stop dancing on the keyboard. And who really wants to read a jumble of random letters?

The Dog Pack is made up of all the dog members of our family. Whether they live in our house or far away, they are each treat loving hounds! Below are some photos and information about each member of the Dog Pack.

Murphy Obi
Murphy is the oldest of the Pack. He lives with Nan and Papa, and can not decide if he likes the inside better than the outside. He knows several tricks, but his favorite is to limp around and try to get sympathy for imaginary injuries. It would work too if only he could remember which paw is hurt! Although Murphy will eat any of the treats, remember to watch your fingers, because he is always eager for his carob chip cookies. Obi may be  the smallest of the Pack, but he is everybody's boss! He leads the way and only Tish has permission to ignore him. Obi loves to see the girls when they come to visit, he always wants them to come play outside in his big yard. Obi loves to run really fast and chase rabbits. One day he will catch one of those pesky white tails, but until then he will settle for another Oat O.
Tish Mandy
Tish is our perpetual puppy. She is only slightly larger than Obi and as Daddy says, "Her cuteness is a defense mechanism!" She's so cute you just can't stay mad. Tish gets excited and announces the presence of any visitors by racing around the house and pulling the curtains back from the window. She is very barky and barks at anything, people, cars, leaves, the air....but she is instantly quiet and well behaved at the words triple treat cookie. Of course she is always well behaved for Mommy, she knows who makes the treats! Mandy is the daintiest little lady. She is Daddy's little girl and is so smart we have to spell certain words or speak in code so she doesn't catch on. Mandy has Sheltie Skin Syndrome, and lost almost all her fur as a puppy. She still has some bald spots, but she doesn't let that stop her from being the prettiest little lady. She loves anything with peanut butter and just smelling the jar gets her all excited! For Mandy, Heaven is laying on Daddy's lap with a peanut butter paw or slice of biscotti.
Caesar Neila

Caesar is the wild big boy. He would like to think he's the boss, but he also thinks he is the size of Tish and Obi and he should be able to sit on people's laps! He looks like an Australian Cattle Dog, but we really don't know what all is in his family tree. One thing is for sure, Caesar is stubborn, so don't even think about forgetting to give him his cheesy cookies!

Neila has the most soulful eyes. She is the second oldest of the Pack and she loves attention, all day and all night! Take her for a walk, or just let somebody new into the house and Neila will be a happy camper. Neila loves people food best of all, because she thinks she is a person! She knows the apple cinnamon bones are really people food pretending to be doggie treats.

Chopper is our gentle giant. He loves to play fetch and is an expert bird dog. Take him hunting and if there is a bird he will find it. Chopper is a pure bred chocolate lab and lives out of the city with lots of room to run, but don't let his love of the outdoors fool you. Chopper loves being in the house and with his people and showing off how smart he is. He can always find the treats and cookies. He will even stand up and hug you for his peanut butter patties or his chicken treats!

While each member of the Dog Pack has their own personality, they all agree these treats are

"Paws down the best!"
