What kind of person is your dog?

Kiya is what we would call a fashonista. When she walks into a room she demands all eyes on her. Her walk has been fine tuned to perfection. Kate Moss has nothing on her. Her signature move is walking away, stopping and turning her head to the right and glancing over her shoulder. At that point, everyone needs to be looking at her.
She is in control of everything and everyone. What Kiya wants, Kiya gets. No one will tell her what to do. She has a credit card for every day of the week and shops with the elite.
Kiya does not like to her no. No is not in her vocabulary. She has everyone wrapped around her little paw.As for Chance…that will require some time. He is a tough one to figure out. :)
-
Chance is a bit timid and tends to worry about everything, but once he gets comfortable with his surroundings and others around him, he is a very nice social gentlemen most of the time.
He is tough and can give you a good scare if he does not like you, but you can tell that he has soft side that he is hiding inside, only showing it to his trusted companions.
As I am writing this, I am realizing that I see some similarities in his and Kiyas personalities with ours. I guess its true what they say about animals looking and behaving like their owners.

So that means you think I am like Kiya????? Oah Realy…..

Topper is Sean Connery, a bit of gray on the muzzle, but still "OO7" at heart, ready to defend his pack if needed. Suave and sophisticated, the girls always love Topper, and the guys respect him.
Eddie is a hunter, a good ole' boy, wants to ride shotgun, nip some butt and have a good time, throw back some brewskies. Then cuddle and snuggle with his duckie!
Nicky is a steel magnolia; small, sweet but not afraid of anything, will spit in the devil's eye. Doesn't really go looking for a rumble, but don't cross her or try and steal her "precious" unless you like pain. But she will let her humans do anything that needs to be done to help her, a good girl who wants to be a bad girl!

I have something to add to my description of Jack as a human, something that we learned this weekend….
Jack is a rock star- and he parties like one.
Saturday morning I woke up to the sound of Jack dragging his waterbowl around the apartment- Like- Hey you lazy humans! I'm thirsty!
As I stumbled into the living room, there next to the sliding glass door (where all of the sun comes into the apartment) he is lying on the floor amidst a sea of party destruction-
My husbands glass (which had been filled with Jack and Coke, but was empty by the time he came to bed) was on the floor on it's side.
My husband's pack of cigarettes- well, all the cigarettes were on the floor and the box had been torn apart.
An empty candy bar wrapper....the candy bar had been half eaten when we went to bed....it was one of those peanut butter filling, milk chocolate coated type of things.
After we went through the shock of- "oh my god- he ate chocolate is he going to die?" (btw- no he isn't going to die, I looked it up, and apparently they have to eat a lot of chocolate for it to be toxic, depending on the kind of chocolate- this was milk chocolate, so he was okay, if it had been bakers chocolate, it would have been really really bad) I recounted the scene for DH and we laugh about how Jack lives it up after we go to bed.

Miles is pretty much Brad Pitt. He is always playing hard to get…lol... but he is super sexy and manly. He prefers to be seen and not touched. Although he DOES tolerate when I squeeze him. Okay, either that or he's an older HS boy who doesn't want his Mom hugging him in public! lol
Lexi is a supermodel. I swear, I get the camera out and she comes running and starts posing. She LOVES being doted on and dressed up. Seriously. I'm not making this stuff up. And if you ignore her, she gets mad... and gives you the ultimate diss-- HER BACK. (Does anyone elses B's do this? When they get mad, they either go sit and face a corner or sit close to you with their backs to you?? I find it so amusing!)

Yes, Jackpot used to turn his back to us when we put him in his crate at night…it was like "screw you guys" LOL When he turned his back it was like he was a child and was pouting.

I'm sure that Bitty's favorite reply to anything I say is, "You're not the boss of me."
That is definitely Cyrus' life motto. We always joke that Cyrus believes himself to be intellectually superior to all others and is planning a world takeover. We think that he eventually deemed us acceptable and decided to stay at our house for the long haul. We do not "own" Cyrus. Actually, he owns us!

Hi, my name is She-Ra. Although one of the stupid humans I live with likes to call me "Wheatey" which doesn't sound nearly as dignified as I li…
...hold on a second. That darn cat is somewhere I don't want him to be. I'll be right back.
<sound of="" scuffling="" and="" a="" short="" chase="">
Okay, that's taken care of, now where was I? Oh yes. I have two human servants. The fat male is okay. He's pretty quick with the treats and is really good with a back-scratching or a belly-rub when I demand it. The woman? Well, she has an issue with my getting into the cat's litter box and putting the poop on the carpet. NO appreciation for art, I tell you! She keeps yelling something at me when I do it, but I pretty much just tune her out and wait for her to open a drawer to get a t-shirt out for me to chew. Like I'm supposed to know she's going to wear it. She's so unreas...
...hold on. The cat's doing something I don't like again. Be right back.
<yet more="" sounds="" of="" a="" scuffle.="" some="" meows.="">
Anyhow. As you can tell I also have these two cats I need to maintain. The older one tends to keep to himself and doesn't move much. When I try and exert some control over him, he usually swats me back, so I figure live and let live. The little one, though? He's a handful. It's all I can do to keep him in line, as you've no doubt seen. I swear, sometimes there's not enough hours in the day. It's all I can do to get a minute to myself to sit back with a nice piece of rawhide or the fat guy's wallet when he leaves it out.
At the end of the day there's a nice time for walkies. The humans seem to enjoy it so I make it extra fun by jogging a little while I poop. That makes picking up my gift more like a treasure hunt for them. They particularly like doing it on a late night walk, I've noticed. I get a chance to meet other dogs and humans on a walk, too, so I'm always sure to be on my best behavior. I figure if I can sucker even one family to get a Basenji like myself, then our eventual domination of this pathetic planet will be...
...hold on. The stupid cat's off his perch again. Look, we'll have to resume this some other time, okay? I really have to get back to work.</yet></sound>
