Dogs in my family are not only special but very important.  You see myself and two of my children don’t just want dogs we truly need a dog.  I have a Cocker Spaniel.  He is the most perfect dog.   Such a sweaty.  I also have three Grandpuppys. and a Grandkitty.  Duke is a mix of Boxer, Golden, Lab and pit.  He is the most gentle, sweetest, frightened baby out of them all.  His little brother Rodeo is a mix also.  chiwawa, terrier and pekingese.  I think there is some cute little bat in there though he looks like one. Diesel is the monster.  Not because of his knotty behavior but because of his build.  He is an American Bulldog.  He wants to be a lap dog.  One hundred and twenty five pounds on your lap.  He is incredibly smart.  If you don’t have something for him to do he is going to find something to do.  You most likely won’t like it.  He can unlatch both latches on his cage to get out.  If he is really board he knows how to shake his cage while in it, until the corners fall away.  He opens cabinets and is so tall can reach everything to the back of the cabinet.  He loves pairs.  It is the funniest thing to look out the door and see a dog hanging from a branch of the pair tree, about three feet off of the ground.  My son kept coming home from work to the shower running in the bathroom.  He was baffled.  He finally busted Desil turning the shower on.  Desil is the most work of all our dogs but he also has the most character.
