The Big Dogs

Larry and Rocky

We have 2 "big" dogs. Larry is 10 years old, the old man of our gang. He is a extra large standard long hair dachshund. He has the nickname of, "Lazy Larry," because he does everything in,"Larry time," which is slow, slower or stop. He is red w/ black ticking and weighs a little more than he should. He is currently on a green bean diet which seems to be helping. He's a bit of a loner and seems to be indifferent to the gaggle. He loves a good belly rub and loves his microfiber bed.

The other big boy is Rocky. He is a Pit bull/ dachshund mix, which means he's a pit bull with short man syndrome. We call him our,"Pit/Weeny,". His goal is world domination of all dogs. He is an alpha male who gets along great with other dogs as long as they are shorter than he, so he does pretty well with the gaggle; especially Chico who is his best buddy. He also loves Tia, because their personalities are just alike. He loves people and want to give hugs and kisses which can seem intimidating if you don't know what he's doing. He stands in your lap with his paws on your shoulders and presses his head against your face. He's very sweet and takes very good care of his gaggle, but he can get a little bossy at times.

We love our big boys and are lucky they tolerate our foster babies pretty well.
