Max

This is Max, the dog who prompted me to make this web page.  Unfortunately, his picture is now in the "In Memory" of page.  His best buddy was Misty, pictured below.  When we first saw Max he ran around the room and ran smack into a cement post head first!  He then shook his head and started running.  We knew right then we had to have him in our family.  He was eight pounds but not afraid of anything or anyone (except thunder).   He was the sweetest, most well behaved dog we ever had and what a personality he had!  You just had to love him!

Misty

This is Misty.  In this picture she is waiting for our guests to arrive for our 4th of July party.   Misty and Max (pictured above) both went to Rainbow Bridge and are playing together again.

Misty would get confused sometimes when she played games - like when the ball is bounced and goes up, she would go down, and when the ball goes back down, she would jump up.  Her favorite thing to do is sit by my daddy.

Sam

Hi, I'm Sam, a seven-year-old Maltese.  My mommy is the web designer of this website.  I was sent to my mommy, daddy and Misty by Max to make them happy and not miss him so much. My favorite toy is a stuffed bone. I go everywhere with it. I flip it up so high that sometimes I hit my mommy in the head when she is working on this website sitting at her computer. (I'm really trying to tell her to pay attention to me!)

I love to run around the house (really fast) and LEAP off the two steps into the family room and fly through the air.  I'm a happy dog.  I won't leave my mommy's side, I follow her every where.  

My little brother, Jake (below) came to live with us so now I can have fun tormenting him.  he he  - We have lots of fun wrestling.  

Jake

I'm Jake, Sam's real brother and Misty's step-brother.  I'm also Shayla's & Phoebe's (below) half-brother.  I'm nine months old now.  My favorite things to do are play with my big brother, Sam and give kisses to my mom, dad and Aunt Valerie.  My cousin Bandit (below) and I play too!  She's a lot bigger than me, but very gentle and we have lots of fun.  

My mommy says I'm really sweet and don't have a mean streak in my body.  I guard the house on windy days from the MEAN & BAD newspaper monster that flies and flaps in the yard from the wind.

Oh - my second favorite thing to do is chew on the corner molding in my house.  I get in BIG trouble for doing it, but I just can't help myself (he he).   

Bandit

Hi I'm Bandit.  I am seven years old and part Border Collie.  I'm Coalette's little sister who just went to Rainbow Bridge.   I really miss her.  I was rescued from the Elko Animal Shelter.  I have an ulcer so I need special care and medication.  My favorite things to do are:  hiking, camping, breaking the squeaker in stuffed animal toys, chasing rabbits and moles, getting petted and getting petted.  I am very scared of the vacuum cleaner and thunder.  My jobs are:  to get petted, give hugs, bark or growl at anyone who comes close to the sidewalk or car when my mommy and daddy are in it.  (Looking at us in the car also calls for a growl).  I am a very sweet girl, however.  

Phoebe

Without a doubt, mischievous little Phoebe brings much joy and laughter for the humans in our household, and I feel fairly certain that the critters living with us get a chuckle from her every now and then as well!

Shayla

Hi!  I'm Shayla of Las Vegas, Nevada.  My mommy is Marva.  I'm a 1 year old Maltese. My best bud, Shayne is in the picture with me.   His very own picture is on page 22.  My half-brothers are Sam and Jake and full sister Phoebe who are pictured above me.  My mom and their mom just found out by accident that we have the same daddy!  

Every morning when I wake up, my mommy's bed is full of my stuffed toys and dog bones.  I love to bring her my uneaten dog biscuits and hide them under her pillow for her when she wakes up.
