Short fun story or caption about pet(s) in photo
These babies know how to have a good time! They are sweet as pie and get along with everyone and everything. Dexy (9yr Jack Russel Mix) is a gentle “giant” and loves his snuggles. When he’s not playing with his tennis balls he’s hiding the bones from other babies or playing peek-a-boo in the bath tub! Gooby (9yr Chiweenie) is the newby of the pack but couldn’t tell. Him and Bane are BFFs! He is one lazy pup but when he gets excited boy does he get excited-twerks his little booty like crazy! He loves chasing the birds and lounging all day! Bane (2yr Maltese/shih tzu/Mix?) is the baby and he may be tiny but don’t let him fool you, he is mighty! We aren’t sure if it’s his name or his size that he feels he is larger or has to act bigger than he truly is but he definitely makes you aware of his presence. His "mightiness" tends to get him into trouble at times though! He keeps the others young and loves going EVERYWHERE with us! And Truff (9 yr Chorkie)- the princess of the land! The original baby and definite alpha, keeps all the boys in check. Loves her monkey toys and could live outside if we let her. She is OBSESSED with her squirrel friend and just sits and watches him for hours! Couldn’t ask for a better bunch of fur-babies!
