After spending a lovely and insane 2 and half years with Angie, and Angie alone, we lost our minds and decided to get her a friend. When I saw Eli's photo up on our local no kill shelter's website, my heart melted into a puddle of goo. As you can see, he was very small and and of indeterminate breed. He somewhat resembled a racoon with the missing fur around his eyes (caused by a case of demodex mange, later resolved). At the outset, he seemed like the perfect foil for Angie's loud boisterous personality.. quiet, sleepy and submissive. This would later prove to be a total miscalculation. In the ensuing years he's proven to be more energetic and wild and independent minded than she ever has been. He's also super smart and equally adorable, so I haven't yet regretted bringing him home. He is the perfect yin to Angie's yang, and we love him just as much.

Inaugural Woof - Angie
This has been a long over due goal of mine, to start a blog for my two favourite canines. What better way to start than at the very beginning?
We'll start with Angie. Angie, as you can quite plainly see, was the most adorable shepherd mix puppy to ever grace New York state. We brought her home on December 1, 2005 at the tender (and psychotic) age of 4 months from a local no kill shelter. At the time, she weighed a mere 25 lbs. Since then she's been my velcro dog, always sticking by my side and doing what she's told (when she feels like it.) She now weighs in at 70 lbs and is perhaps the most adorable and loving adult shepherd mix dog to ever grace New York state.
