I love the way he is so loving to literally anybody he meets, he would kill you with his enthusiasm. I call him the social butterfly!!!

How every time I get on the floor he dives in for a cuddle.

How he shakes to the core with excitement when playing fetch, he would go all day until he dropped of exhaustion!!

Max

The way he thinks he is human
The way he greets the girls in the morning and despite their protests just keeps at it
The way he thinks he is special compared to the others (and he is!)
How he just wants to please everyone and make sure they are happy
His sensitivity to everyone
His energy and zest for life
The way he smiles
How his tail just never stops wagging
How he talks back
How he loves people he knows and wags at them til they say hello
He sees the best in all dogs unless told otherwise
He makes people smile

Charlie

His soppy look - those eyes just melt you
The way his whole body wags with excitement
His laidback approach to life and his 'man jana' attitude
The way when its time for bed he pretends he can't hear and just stays put on the sofa
The way he does his own thing on a walk yet just knows where I am (say I try and hide to trick him)
How he is such an Uncle to the younger boys - playful and yet stern when necessary
The way he 'purrs' when he has his cuddles

Angus
How he just needs to be instructed on what to do
How he needs to be kept thinking
His pure excitement for life no matter what it is - everything is just sooo exciting
How he recalls and I think he isn't going to stop but he does with a perfect sit in front!
How he loves water no matter how disgustingly filthy
How he likes to cuddle up to me at night but sometimes with his Dad (lovely when he does)
How he looks to Max for reassurance
His speed to get from A-B!
The way he learns so quickly
That he is a challenge
How much he really needs his mum
How he creates the 'oh Angus' from everyone! just like Frank Spencer!
How if anyone sings or dances he just has to join in (not sure if he is telling us to shut up or enjoying it!)


Connor

The fact he such a baby still
His cheekiness cos he thinks he is still a baby
How he loves everyone but knows mum is best
His bounce
His woowoos
How he loves Max and Angus and looks up to them (despite them not always being the best role models!)
How he loves to play with Charlie
When he has so much energy he just runs flat out round the garden
The way at agility he acts the clown much to Jess frustration sometimes
His kisses on my ears! not always welcome mind you
How he loves to be talked to and cocks his head to the side if he doesn't know what you are talking about



Lovely reading about your fab doggies !

Think will not post on the what don't like unless I read these things after - hope the list isn't as long

Hoki
her stoicism over all the pain and discomfort she suffered in her legs
her faith and trust in me
the way she loves to 'help' when OH does DIY
the way she sticks her nose in my pocket just to check that all the treats really have gone


Stumpy
the way she huffs if she doesn't get her own way
the way she rushes down the stairs every morning so she can woo-woo me as I'm coming down the stairs
the cheeky, happy look she gets when she's having fun
her stubby tail, wagging 10 to the dozen
her absolute love of my OH even though she is scared stiff of other men.

Max

The way he is such a mummy's boy, and only wants to sit with me
The way he gets on the sofa and trundles round and round in a circle to make it comfy, despite the fact that it doesn't change shape.
The funny grunty pig noises he makes when I scritch behind his ears
The way he gets on the sofa when I am eating my breakfast, but pretends not to be looking at what I'm eating

Murphy

The fact that he is pushing 5 1/2 stone, but still thinks he can sit on my knee for a cuddle
The way that he has to rest his head on my knee, or can't sleep at all
He is such a tart - he is over-friendly, but it's very endearing!
The way he pretends he is asleep when we try to get him off the sofa, he snores and everything, but will spoil it by opening one eye to check if you've gone away

This is a great thread so wanted it to be my 250th post...think i'm going to be a dogsey senior now!!!

INDI

Love the way she 'talks' to me when she wants something....usually a treat!
Love the smell of her bald belly....its really kissable!!
Love when she pricks up her ears to certain words.
Like Jobie (Reisu) she's breaks wind when she trots downstairs.....gross but makes me laugh!!
When she sulks with her paw over her face!
The way she spins her tail in a full circle.

WIZARD

The way he is always so pleased to see me even if i have just been to the bathroom!
The way he jumps in circles when he's excited
When he tosses his favourite toy around the living room
The way he takes our shoes to his bed but never chews them.
The way he taps at us for more strokes.
The way he woofs and runs in his sleep.
Because he is such a mummy's boy!

Missy

love the way she now loves everyone
love the way she turns turtle in her sleep and has one leg raised straight, like she's putting a hand up to ask a question.
love the fact she's always watching for me
love to see her playing ball outside
love that huge grin as she does agility
in fact, love that huge grin she has at anything she enjoys!
love it when she wants a cuddle.

Chaos
The way she sleeps leaning against a wall
She absolutely adores OH but is very wary of other men
She takes about a month to decide where to do toilet when its windy (she even gets to the point of squatting to go but then the wind will blow and we start all over again !!)

Joey
He shakes his whole body when we get home from anywhere (even a pop to the supermarket)
He always wants cuddles (even though you get sloppy kisses as well)
He's come so far with his possessiveness of food I'm so proud of him!

The thing I love most about my dogs is the fact that they are there................I have no idea what I would do without them. I just can't think of any one thing that stands out, they are all different in their own ways. Everyone of them very special.
