They eat our carpeting.
They scratch into our brand new house.
They turn our new lawn into a toilet.
They torment the cats with staredowns and positions ready to pounce.
They trust you over and over, even when you give them yucky tasting medicine.
They lay down next to you and place a head on your legs, peeping up through big brown eyes.They literally smile when you pay attention to them.
They wag their tails wildly when you walk into the room.
They roll over onto their backs, exposing sweet, soft tummies for a petting.
They learn to understand what you are saying when you clearly do not speak the same language.
These dogs we inherited are trouble with a capital T, annoying at the most inopportune moments and demanding. But they are the most wonderful, sweet, soft, loving and amazing furry people I know. They can lift a spirit with a glance and when I miss her the most, they tell me that my Mom is still around.
Thanks Rosebud and Thorndyke. You are each one of a kind.

While I love the dogs, I wish we could see more of our cats. They have to be feeling this as well.
They sound like a wonderful, if aggravating and expensive, addition to your family!
I'm sure your Mom is so happy.
They are special creatures, aren't they? And, they're even more special becuase of the connection to your mother.
I love our dog, Copper. He's a great addition to our family, too.
