Archie is my baby, no doubt about it. I've even got the mommy thing of waking up as soon as he does in the night! He's always ecstatic to see me, gives me hugs and kisses and still runs to me whenever anything scares or hurts him. He's a rascal in many ways, but then he's so good as well - and given all the cr*p the little darling's been through in his short life, he's amazing. All his vets love him...even when he'd just broken his leg, he wasn't snappy at all but just wanted the nice people to help him. I'm so proud of how he's done...he's been getting his first walks off the lead for two months this weeks and it's sooooo amazing to see him racing around totally happy given how bad he was a month ago! I'll have to post some new pics soon!
Our old family dog, Jake, is just that - a member of the family. We all love him to bits even tho he was a terror when he was younger and now poops in his sleep. Ew! We think he's going to live forever! He's been knocked down by cars 3 times (before we owned him), has jumped off a cliff , had kidney failure, has got really bad arthritis and cataracts, has had 3 strokes AND has cancer, but he's still trotting! Tho he looks a total mess atm...he hates being groomed and as we were't expecting him to live beyond this winter just gone we didn't make him have a haircut. Now he's still going but is a big fluff-ball!
