The first is Maddi. She is a little more than 6 years old. She was adopted from the South County Animal Shelter. I actually went looking at a completely different dog. I had told my boyfriend that I really wanted another corgi but this time I wanted a tricolor that loved car rides. I met Maddi at the shelter and it was love at first sight. She was sweet and loving. I had to wait about a week for no one to claim her. Turns out no one did and I got to bring her home and she has been mine ever since. She is definitely a daddy's girl even though she is with me most of the time. She sleeps by his side of the bed and loves him. She works for him. When we go the dog parks she is my trouble maker. She never starts trouble just manages to get in the thick of it. Maddi loves people though. She will roll over for anyone if they are willing to rub her belly. She is not an avid barker but will bark if she is exciting or other dogs are barking.
I got Hunter last October and its been a journey to say the least. I met his former owner at his home. Hunter and Maddi were an instant match. He is definitely a momma's boy too. I didn't know it when I pick him up but it didn't take me long to figure out he had been abused. I felt really bad. For quite some time I was unable to put my hand anywhere near his rump. My suspicion is that's where he was hit or whatever they did to him. I also suspect they ran him with a skateboard because he really can't stands them and tries to attack them. He has gotten a lot better but there is still more work to be done. When I leave he likes to chew things up, however, its kind of specific. He doesn't eat shoes but things that taste like food or are plastic. He is sometimes still scared of people and has a tendency to back up when they reach to pet him.
This is a picture of the two of them together :)
I felt like this would be a fun way of keeping track of their endeavors.
