My oldest and most-trusted companion is Puggy-Trois, my black Pug, who originally came from Manchester, England but flew back to Florida with me and we lived there for 3 years and then we flew back to England again. So he's my International Pug of Mystery! He will be 7 years old in January.

And here's my only girly dog, Chessie-Woo, she's a Chesapeake Bay Retriever (funny to find one of these here in England, seeing as they are American dogs). As a child, we always had these dogs when I was growing up in Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay (where they originate). Chessie is 2 and a half years old.

Last, but certainly NOT least is my mischievious little boy, Dexter J! Dexter is part Pug, part Pekingese and is so cute I have a hard time reprimanding him when he's naughty (which is alot!). Dexter was 2 in August.

I love my trio every bit as much as if they were my own flesh and blood, because they make me laugh and they keep me company when my husband is away working at night.
