Aha, I'm not neglecting LJ, I swear! I'll update this weekend with pictures after my friend's birthday party :P
So I've never actually taken pictures of my dogs before, so I thought it would be fun. Nevermind that my dogs don't like to sit still for any given three seconds of their lives.
Duchess is our second German Shepard that we've had. The first one was a male named "Mayo" (yes, as in mayonnaise. Ask my dad, he named him) and we ended up not keeping him because of time constraints. That and the fact that I was a wee little elementary schooler with this huge 100 pound dog in the house. I loved that dog though; he was ultra cool, and he actually stayed in the house. But as for Duchess, I believe we got her around the end of fifth grade or the beginning of middle school. We actually had a big debate about what we should name her - I believe my mom wanted something regal sounding and my sister and I wanted some kid name. I don't know. She's an awesome Bleu German Shepard, which means that her skin's actually blue. I would've taken a picture of that, but she never ever ever calms down, even though she's six or seven years old now. She's my favorite dog. I like big dogs :D
This little idiot's Duke. (Hah, like that? Matching names.) And he really is an idiot, but you learn to love him all the same. This little bugger loves to escape through this hole in the fence that my family hasn't found yet and go roaming throughout the neighborhood. (He does it so often he now knows his way home, lol.) He also likes to crowd cars when they come up our driveway and puts himself in danger by circling the car without moving away. Shyeahh. Duke actually started out a stray we think, because when my mom was picking up my sister from elementary school, he was crossing the street and had no collar or identification. We ended up posting up "found" posters in places, but no one claimed him so we kept him. We suspect he's a mix between a chihuahua and a daschund, because he looks like a really long chihuahua :P
Despite their coordinating names, they don't get along most of the
time. Duchess is just like one big kid who loves to play with anything
and everything, and Duke is a hot-tempered little dog. When we first
brought Duke home to the house, Duchess was intensely curious with him
and would make attempts to play with him, but he's a butt and would
bark and growl at her. He's also very territorial, so he'll get very
jealous if one of us gives Duchess too much attention (which I like to
do just to spite him, because it's fun messing with his little head
:P).
Yeah, and I didn't take many pictures because it was hot and humid outside. But I now leave you with a picture of Duchess!
Oh wait. So I was totally uploading pictures from when my family and I went back to Thailand last summer and there was this picture where I was totally flabbergasted at my hair. Dfasdfasdfal;k. Why does my hair suck so much now?? It requires 45 minutes of straightening! Whatthehecccck.
