Who's dog is it really?

Sylphide is Mommy's girl. I am the love of her life (but she loves her daddy and big brother, too).

Shrek is just like my husband in nature, and he has become Daddy's boy.

We jokingly say that Sylphide takes after me and Shrek after him. It's amazing how close their personalities are to ours.

It's so funny: Sylphide gets up immediately with me in the morning (I'm always first up on weekdays). Shrek, however, cuddles up to his Daddy and won't get up until my husband does.

At night, Sylphide sleeps on my side of the bed, Shrek on my husband's side.

We didn't plan it this way, it's just the way things worked out.

Massimo's a total Mama's boy. He follows me everywhere (even to the bathroom). He likes my husband......well, sometimes anyway.... Massimo will allow him to pick him up once in a while- like when he first comes home because Massimo's happy to see him....but most of the time he's on me. Massimo is NOT a mean dog, he's a total love bug, but if he feels hubby gets too close he'll warn him with a growl. Hubby works 3rd shift, so 5 days a week Mass sleeps in my bed with me alone. On hubby's nights off, Mass gets a little testy....if he feels hubby rolls too close to me he'll growl. Or when I'm cooking or something and he comes up behind me and hugs me, or gives me a kiss, Massimo barks at him. I think it's cute, hubby does not.
Otherwise, If I move, Massimo jumps to see where I'm off to, and follows. I can't be in another room, because it's out of his sight.
I really can't say he's mine....because I'm HIS.

Peanut is definately MINE He is the most loyal dog! I love it. When I'm not feeling well, he will curl up near me and just hang out all day. As I type this he is sitting under my chair . He follows me everywhere and he takes commands from everyone, but with me he does what I say immediately. I keep an ottoman type of thingy next to my bed for Peanut to get up and down from the bed and he checks on my while I'm sleeping. The cutest thing is that he will not play with a noisy toy until I wake up. The second I get out of bed he runs for his toys and starts sqeaking all of them. I don't know maybe he's celebrating that I finally got out of bed? Peanut is awesome and I love him more than I can describe, and I was never a dog person...go figure, now my boys rule my life!

Tic is a goof ball. He is such an attention hog and he will take attention from whoever is around. He loves all of us equally I think. No one here gets any special attention from Tic. I think if I have to pick someone Tic is Peanut's dog. He is Peanut's shadow. Tic would be happy in a room full of strangers, he so much more socialized than Peanut. The only thing is that both boys sleep in my room. Maybe it's because Peanut has to sleep near me, and Tic has to sleep near Peanut though I love both my boys!

Puddles is a Mommy's boy.

He will sit with his dad if I am busy, but let me walk by and he's on my heels. He's my only baby and a spoiled one.

We were at a park several months ago. I had to go potty so hubby was holding the leash. Well, Puddles didn't like it at all that I was walking away. He started barking to the top of his lungs. I never looked back cause I knew hubby would be kinda mad he was acting this way. When I returned Puddles was covered with pine needles and at the end of his leash. Hubby said he cried, screamed, barked and rolled in the pine needles, just plain showed his butt. Well, that's myboy

Nothing any better than to walk in the door and have such a sweet boy waiting for me. He's busting with joy that I"m home.

Hubby is some time jealous, but he would never admit it
