The Other Members of the Sanford Family

I have heard from a few people that I should do a blog entry on the other members of our family. We have two sweet little dogs names Sneezy and Toby.

Sneezy was Eric's sister and nieces dog when he lived with them. Eric and Sneezy formed a special bond and since Christie and the kids were going to be moving a lot, they let Eric keep him when he moved out. He was named by the nieces because when they first got him, they lived out in Lampasas and he sneezed all the time from allergies. He doesn't do that very much anymore, but I bet we confuse him when we talk about "having to sneeze". :) He was found at a shelter and is very loving. He is some sort of terrier mix and looks similar to Benji. He is also super protective and has to get used to new people. If you have been over here, he may have tried to nip at your feet. Sorry!

Then there is little Toby. Toby is an AKC registered maltese that my mother was given by her sister. He will be 13 years old in about 3 weeks and we got him when he was about 6 or 8 weeks old. He is very particular and lovey when HE wants to be. Of course, I know his personality and know what to expect from him. I think he sometimes hurts people's feelings when he won't let them pet him. That's just how he is. He really likes attention but is nervous about people who he doesn't know. When I was pregnant, he would crawl up and lay across my belly and snuggle with it. He also has no teeth. They were removed by a canine oral surgeon since he had stage 4 gum disease. It's pretty common for maltese to have bad teeth. He lived with my dad and brother while I was in college but then Dad let me take him with me after I moved to Waco for grad school. He is my little buddy and I hope both these dogs live to be 100 years old!!

Here they are showing off their cute little faces....
