Peaceful (Pooped?) Pups


Here we have a pair of Yorkshire Terriers, Dexter and Drew. They live in German Village, Ohio with their human Mom and Dad. According to Dexter's Mom, "I named Dexter after Dexter's Laboratory since he always looks like he's plotting something, probably world domination." I think a world dominated by a sweet canine sounds lovely!

"Bannie" Lass

According to her human mother, Bannie is pronounced "Bonny" as in Bonny Lass. Bannie, a West Highland Terrier, is named for the single malt whiskey, Oban - also a town in Scotland. Bannie's brother, Brewster, outweighs her by 6-7 pounds (see "All Teeth, No Talk"), but she's boss.

Bless You!

A happy family in Upper Arlington, Ohio adopted Wesley, a 7-month old Shih Tzu, last week. Whenever I hear this breed's name said aloud, it makes me think someone sneezed.
