Byran

Bryan is a 4-year-old Giant Schnauzer that has been my constant companion since he was eight months old.  I love big black dogs, and Bryan came into my life by a vet who was intent on re-homing him after he’d been backed over by his first owner, crushing his hip, then abandoned at the vet.  Poor dog Bryan.  ANYWAY, he’s all patched up now and he loves getting hair cuts from Elaine of Rub-a-Dub Doggy in Niles, MI, and riding in the front seat of the car.  Although he weighs just over 100 lbs, he’s still very much a lap dog, and he craves treats, petting, and tummy rubs.  He does not like to walk in the rain or when another dog tries to eat from his bowl.  His shaggy beard soaks up water like an old-fashioned cotton mop whenever he gets a drink.

Wrigley at the Beach

Name: Wrigley (aka – Wrigs, Wiggles, Wriglet, Mr. Wrigles, Sir Wrigs-a-latte)

Hobbies: Playing on the beach at my grandma and grandpa’s house… which means: chasing birds, my tail and anything that moves

Favorite Food: Yogurt on my doggie food (but only when I am a good boy!), Frosty Paws and anything that I can sweet talk out of your hand by giving you that look with my eyes

I am 9 months old and weigh in at a svelt 90 pounds, I will probably be about 125 or 130 when I am done growing. I am bigger than your average lab but I am still a puppy, who happens to also think I am lap dog. I love to climb into bed with my mommy and daddy on Saturday mornings, nothing says, “get up and play with me” like a 90 pound puppy jumping on you first thing in the morning. I would say besides running at the beach, riding around in my pops SUV is the best! I like to stick my head out the window and watch the world fly by, I also don’t mind the wind in my fur. I have a best friend named Merlot, she is a beautiful husky. I love to jump all over her, she is not such a fan of my puppy ways as she is a old lady… 6 years old!

My favorite college team is the UW Huskies and my favorite NFL is the Seattle Seahawks. Football weekends are the best!!!

Bang a Gong! – April 2011

Although not technically a dog, don’t tell her that! Joon is not your typical DSH (domestic short hair) either. She is the queen. At age 16 and weighing in at just under 8 pounds, she rules the household, which includes her two humans, her litter-mate brother Benny, and two subservient canines (100 lb Cooper, and 65 lb Daisy). Illustrative of her power, her favorite game is to go out the cat flap and walk around the house to the French door and wait for her humans to open it for her. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Joon’s humans like to throw parties, and Joon always insists on being the center of attention. She is a wonderful companion, loved by many. One of Joon’s favorite things to do is sunbathe, and she is looking forward to the arrival of Summer!

Gus – May 2011

Hello ZippyDogs, my name is Gus. I am a Saint Bernard and will be 3 in February. I love people, kids, TV, truck rides, treats, balls, soccer balls, and toys!!! I have the greatest pawrents in the world, Mike and Juli. They spoil me and I have my own 4 poster bed, but I prefer the couches. One couch is in the “TV” room, and the other is in front of a window where I can sit and “watch” everything!!! I think everydog is cool if you are cool to me…sometimes my size intimidates some of you, but I really just want to play!!! I also think Elise is funny, my mom has known her since she was in grade school! Pretty cool huh?
