Winnie

Winnie came over in Aug. 2009.  Let me just say that this dog never seems happy.  She is always mad at the world.
With me, she likes to waller on me or when she is embarrassed, she will bury her head under my arm.  She, too, likes to be petted and played with.  She also craves attention and likes it when I pet her and rub behind her ears.
In all honesty, what dog doesn't like to have their bellies rubbed or their ears scratched?  Winnie is Susie's mom.  When she is outside, she always has a toy in her mouth.  Whenever there is a bird of any type outside the fence, she is right there barking at it. 
Winnie and Lady are opposite with each other.  Lady is more playful and Winnie is just mad.  But they both like being around me and letting me pet them and play with them.  I guess it just depends on their moods as to whom they allow themselves to get close too.

Cupid

Cupid and her puppies came over two days later after Lizzy did. What do I say about Cupid, well, she is the sweetest and friendliest dog you will ever meet. She is my buddy and follows me wherever I go. Sometimes they get under foot and you trip over them and other times, they will stand right by your side listening, well, at least to me it seems like they are listening.

She does have a nickname and that is bur-head. She has hair that sticks straight up on top of her head or on the bur spot and its cute.
She doesn't like it when I have to put her in a cage to let the puppies out to play. She tries to hide from me but I end up winning in the end and she goes in one. It is usually for an hour or two so the puppies can eat and drink and play for a little while.
What else can I say about Cupid, other than she is a lover as well. She loves it when you scratch behind her ear. She simply goes limp and leans in on the side you are scratching.

Lizzy

Lizzy is black and white with tan eyebrows, so that makes her tri colored.  She came over in July of 2009.  Billy was done with breeding dogs since the economy was starting to go from bad to worse in a matter of time.  Well, four of his dogs decided to surprise us with a litter of puppies.
She had two beautiful dogs that are cockapoos.  Mr. Stubbies and Mr. Stubbles.  I will tell you more about them later.
Lizzy does not like Winnie.  I think, she deliberately gets in Winnie's way, so she will growl at her.  Lizzy whines when it thunderstorms, she does not like them, I don't either, so I have to be the brave one and tell her that its ok and that we are safe.  I know, she may not understand what I am saying and my husband thinks its cute that I try to hold a conversation with them but its only one sided, me talking.  Well, if these dogs are suppose to be man's best friend, you would think that you were suppose to talk to them.  At least I do and I try to pet them every day to let them know that they are loved and wanted.
Now, off my soap box and back to Lizzy.  She also whines when you get near her, which is quite funny because she jumps straight up in the air and runs away from you.
She is also a very loving and affectionate dog.  She likes to jump up on me so I will pet her.  It's not unusual to see four dogs around me like that.  Waiting for me to pet them and say good morning to them.
In the picture, Lizzy is with the cats, Andy and Pepper.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon or Cinny as we like to call her, is Lil'Rudy's mom.  She is a cockalier, which is a mix of cocker spaniel and king charles cavalier spaniel.  Lil'Rudy is also a cockalier.
After Billy and I were married, Cinny came over.  At first she was very shy because she did not know me.  But as time wore on, she began to loosen up.
Now when she sees me, she jumps up on me, so I will pet her.  Sometimes she'll be so excited to see me that she'll shake her whole body at me.  It's rather fun watching her shake.
Susie for some reason likes to get on top of her.  They may have gotten into at least one or two fights because of that.  We are not sure why Susie started getting on top of her as she came out the door, she just did.  There for awhile, Cinny was afraid to go out because of that.  Now its not a problem. 
Cinny is a very sweet and loving dog.  She will snort wihen I play with her.  I usually have to laugh when she does that.

Pudgy

Like I said in Lady's little bio, Pudgy is hers.  When he does something wrong, that is when he cowers down and walks to his bed.  It is kinda sad to see him walk with his head hanging down.
He doesn't do it all the time.  Billy and I can't remember a time that we had to yell at him or punish him.
When I sit outside with the boys, when they are on the porch instead of out in the run, the girls are inside, Pudgy comes up to me and either gives me a kiss or takes his paws and scratches my back.  He is a really good back scratcher. Ha Ha.
Lady and Winnie are cousins which makes Pudgy and Susie cousins but they are so far down the line that it was ok for them to be together.  He is the one who is the father of Susie's puppies.
When he first learned to walk, he would high step.  It was fun to watch him play with the others.  Lil'Rudy use to get him in the ears.  No dog likes getting their ears pulled.  This picture of Pudgy is with Cinnamon or Cinny as we call her.  It was the only picture I could find.  Pudgy is black and white.

Lady

Lady is a lap dog.  She wants to be #1.  When I am sitting in a chair, she will come up to and nudge my arm up, so I will pet her.  She also jumps on me.
We brought Lady over Jan. 2009.  It had gotten really cold outside and Billy had noticed tht she had lost three puppies.  She had only one left.  So we closed off the kitchen and Lady and her puppy stayed there until she weaned him.  Which was at 6 weeks.
We ended up keeping this puppy and his name is Pudgy.  The reason why I named him Pudgy was because he had a pudgy butt.
Lady craves attention just like all my other dogs do.  She wants to be with me all the time.  I love her and the others dearly but sometimes I need my space and just some time for me.
When she is not near Lottie, she gets along with the other dogs and plays well with them.  One day last week, Lady and Dottie were galloping through the dining room, playing with each other.  It was so cute.  I at first thought that they were going to start fighting, but when I looked, they were galloping around each other trying to play with the other.

Susie

Susie was also born in Oct. of 2008.  Her mom is Winnie, and I will talk about her later.  We did not sell Susie because either she was born without an ear or when the vet was removing her dew claw clipped her ear.  We do not have a nickname for her.  The thing about Susie is that with having only one ear, you would think that it would slow her down.  Well, it doesn't she is on the move all the time and very hyper.
When she was allowed to run through the house like the others, I would sit on the couch and try and get her to come and sit with me, well, she did come up on the couch and went right back down again.  She would never stay in one place long enough for me or Billy to pet her.
In May, of this year, just a few days after Billy and I celebrated our one year anniversary, she had a litter of puppies.  This is her first and last litter, she had 4 males (a buff or blonde color and three blacks) and two females ( a chocolate and a black and tan).
