The Evidence:trees/branches/bird/flowers/newsprint/pet accent/misting/woodgrain/document a pet (pets)/together Odi was our first papillon that we got,he is a little over weight,shy & a procrastinator,he is on the lower right hand corner. Gunnar is Odis brother,he is about half the size,the smallest of all the paps,can out stare you & is the dominant dog of the house. We got Gunnar about a week after Odi,when the breeder called us & said Gunnar was missing Odi.Gunnar is in the center of the photo. Jona is right behind Odi,with the black ears,she is the only girl in the house besides me.She is yacky,bossy & wants to be the first to run out of the back door. We got Jona about a year after we got Odi & Gunnar. Skapti is the pap in the lower left hand corner,he is so cute!!! He can be shy with other people,but also can be a bit mischievous.Skapti is Jona's brother & we picked him up the same day as we picked up Jona. All paps have the same father but different mother. And then came Milo, we got Milo a few years after getting the paps (my sons bought him & I ended up getting him).Milo is a very friendly dog & fits right in with the family. Yes we do have a routine,& the dogs have there own time clock plus are the bosses,so if I told you the routine you would think I was crazy,I will save that for another day!!!
