Here's a shot of two wacky little sisters we adopted from a rescue 4 years ago. Chihuahua/Pug/Miniature Pinscher. True Frankendogs.

They had no interest in playing dress up but Nell did put on her Alice Cooper makeup for a shot.

Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters

The title track features the sound of dogs barking. Every time I play this, my dog busts into the room looking for the source of the commotion.

Way too many pets in our house to give a picture of them all. So I'll spotlight one that I've posted before, and one that I haven't. And using China Cat Sunflower as my animal reference.
