Apple and Huck
For the past 11 years our dogs have been our “babies”. We take them on any vacation or camping trip that we can and at the end of the day we love to play with them and go on long walks. They love being around other people and getting all the attention possible. They are an especially big hit with our nephews and nieces. We got Apple 11 years ago from the pound, and wow, you couldn’t have asked for a more perfect and easy dog. She was already a year old and was completely potty-trained when we got her. Easy to describe training her is an understatement. She has a very gentle and sweet temperament and just wants to please people and chase her ball. Apple LOVES to swim and will refuse to play outside if water of some source isn’t accessible. Apple is also great at tricks, you name it she can learn it. Apple is the one who wins in the beautiful dog department and everyone seems to want to pet her all the time, which Huck has a lot to say about (Mr. Jealous). She is 12 now and we cherish every moment with her. Huck is now 9 and we also go him from a shelter when he was a puppy, just thirteen weeks old. Unlike Apple, he was quite the handful, especially as a puppy. He was always getting into trouble and was a real challenge to train. Nonetheless, we got there. He is now the cuddliest and most gentle boy. Any chance he gets he tries to cuddle with his humans. Huck loves to run and explore more than anything. We always have to go out of our way to find isolated places where he can run and run and run some more. He may not be as fast as he once was, but his adventurous spirit lives on strong. He also makes an excellent guard dog, letting us know if anything is out of sorts. He’s our big handsome boy and is always there with a gentle nuzzle or cuddle.
