A Day in the Life

My home consists of 10 rescued dogs; 9 Pekingese and 1 Great Dane who thinks he is a Peke. My neighbor loves to watch them when they are outside because of each distinct personality and how it plays out in the group.
The "kids" thought it would be fun to document their daily activities on this blog. And so, as almost every idea they come with, I agreed. Mostly because their paws are too large to type, so I get to be the type person. They dictate. I type.

Today, everyone wants to be introduced. It's a good idea because this house is in a constant state of activity of some sort and with 10 main characters. a reader may become confused. (My dogs are the smartest dogs!!! I am sooooo proud).

In order of their adoption:

Buli - Buli is a lover. He has to be next to you at all moments. You move. He moves. If you are showing attention to another, Buli will be immediately pushing in to get his fair share. Buli will be 6 years old this October. He came to our home when he was 5 months from a puppy mill. Buli is the first of the Three Musketeers. His personality is non-confrontational; will not fight even if provoked. He just rolls on his back. A very good protector. Any noise, he begins to bark. And bark. And bark. And bark.

Buki - is the 2nd Musketeer. He will also be 6 this year. He is a sweetie and a total mother The untilmate "Worrier". He mothers everyone. He is always cleaning the other dogs. When it's bath time, he is right by my leg moaning while bathing is going on. When the dog comes out of the bath, Buki immediately runs up, sniffs, make sure the dog is fine and then begans the licking. This habit of his has been happening since he came into our home 5 1/2 years ago. You would think he would know the procedure by now, but no.

Bodhi is the 3rd Musketeer. Bodhi thinks he is all that. The Stud. (he is neutered-all are neutered/spayed). He will bully the other dogs, including the dane, but warms up to the girls immediately. He watches over all the girls from the moment they become family members. He is very protective. He also likes to start things; like howling and/or barking spurts or games. He likes to lead everyone everywhere. He HAS to be center of attention. Has to be. Bodhi will be 5 this year.

Homer is the love bug. He is a mass of snuggles and plops.He thinks he is a big, huge protector. He will bark and scratch and scratch and bark at almost anyone or anything. He is a plopper. He does not lay down. He plops. A massive heap of silky, long, black hair. You can't tell his head from his butt when he has plopped. He gives kisses, but only when he wants. He knows he is a cutie. He and his brother were 4 this year.

Maynard is Homer's brother. Maynard lives in Maynard World. He is my "special Peke". Most of the time I have no clue what Maynard is thinking or why he is doing whatever it is he's doing. I don't even think Maynard knows what he is doing. He does a mean Stevie Wonder impression though. Maynard is the dog that I always say 'I don't know' when someone asks what he is doing or why.

Next blog post will introduce Gertie, Oscar, Bessie and Jessie and Henry the Dane. A special tribute to our Hazel Heart who passed in APril.
