Murray's story


I have been a part of this pack for years, I’m the Ol’ Timer. 
I have never had the problems my brother had.  I was always content to stay at home and lounge peacefully on the couch, the chair and my favorite place…that comfy bed upstairs with the white comforter.  I always knew to jump down off of those things when I heard the garage door open.  My silly humans must not have noticed the long shepard fur I left behind everywhere I went or that mud that I pranced around in whenever I went out back.  Anyways, around the time I turned nine, I found it harder to get up on that delightful bed and it seemed my collar wasn’t fitting as comfortably as it used to.  I had apparently put on a few (or twenty!) pounds as I was getting older and boy, was I feeling it!  Even with my brother around, i just wasn't getting the exercise I needed.  After just a few months, I dropped that weight and have kept it off.  Now, at 13, I'm still running with the pack and keeping Morgan in check when needed!

Morgan's story


I adopted my humans in 2004 when they came to the shelter looking for a brother for Murray.  They wanted a dog that was big enough for Murray to wrestle with but loving enough to lay with the littlest human and watch tv.  Boy, did they ever pick the perfect dog, Murray didn’t intimidate me one bit, we spent every night running around the front yard with the rest of the pack and sometime through the house at night…but the days seemed to pose a problem for an energetic pooch like me.  I tried to make myself useful while the humans were away, like the time I tried to lick the couch clean but ended up “cleaning” the stuffing right out of the cushion.  Then there was the time I took those annoying blinds out of the window and tried to make it easier for us dogs to see, if they hadn’t put up such a fight all three times, I wouldn’t have had to show them who was the boss.  It was really hard for me to make sure I was barking erratically at every movement outside with those blinds in my way.  Sometimes my humans would try to make it interesting for me and put me in a crate in the morning.  Murray and I would time how long it would take me to get out!!  We had to stop playing that game when I accidentally busted the door right off the crate.  Fortunately for me, my humans have opened a huge, playland for me, it’s got everything I could ever want…plenty of space to run, things to climb on and under, friends to play with and best of all, they only have blinds in the front office!!!

Tank's story


I joined this pack sort of by accident or by fate depending on how you look at it. The Desert Dog humans fostered my mom and all my brothers and sisters before they actually opened their doors in March 2006. See, they had all that room at Desert Dog and they were there all the time getting it ready to open so when my family needed somewhere to stay since we didn’t have a home, and my brothers and sisters and I were only five weeks old so we weren’t ready to leave our mom yet, we moved in at Desert Dog. It was great – we kept those humans on their toes – we made sure they were well prepared to take care of dogs. We chewed everything we could find, ate constantly, marked every square inch of our territory each and every night (for some reason our smell was removed each morning!?!), made sure that any tool that was being used was immediately hidden somewhere so that it would not distract their attention from us and best of all, demanded lots of loving every day. When we were about ten weeks old, a weird thing started happening….other humans started coming to play with us and I noticed my brothers and sisters started disappearing, one by one. One day I looked around and they were all gone…even my mom was gone. That day, the Desert Dog humans took me to a much smaller but cozy place where I spent the night with Uncle Murray and Uncle Morgan (and this crazy spotted creature that sat on the couch licking herself – I still don’t know how she got her leg up like that!!). Every night since then, after I play at daycare all day, I’ve been going to that cozy place which I now call home…and Uncle Murray and Uncle Morgan are now my brothers…and that crazy creature on the couch, she’s my sister Callie and I love chasing her around the house and yard - she’s even learned how to wrestle with me though afterwards she still goes up on that couch and does that licking thing!

Mesa's story


I am the newest member of this pack and the first girl! In January 2009 my world changed….first these humans come to the house where I was living with my mom and siblings, they put me in their car with three big boy dogs (which actually turned out to be three really nice boy dogs) and then they took me to this fantastic playland filled with lots of other really nice dogs, tunnels to run through, things to jump on (or hide under if you’re my size!) and I can run, romp and play until my hearts content – I’ve heard my humans say they are pretty happy about that too because I’m really tired when I get home! I am learning lots of new tricks, like if I sit in the front office and look really sweet, the humans that are coming to pick up their dogs give me lots of love and even better, lots of treats while they wait for the dogs. Now I spend my days with all of my new friends and my nights on a cozy bed next to my brothers…I sure hope my other brothers and sisters get to do all of the fun stuff that I get to do every day!!
