Rat Terrier

You can probably tell that I'm a loving mother. I have six adorable children, all of whom take after me! Well, all except my 'last born'. He's your typical 'baby-of-the-family', spoiled-rotten. Well, he's so cute that Papa and I let him get away with a lot of mischief. My others though, are quite well-mannered like their father and me.

You probably want to know us by name. Papa was named after his athleticism (tearing about in the backyard): his name is Zoom. I was named for being erudite, which means that I can think critically and logically (I went to the best dog training school). My name is Hilary, after Hilary Clinton. She went to Yale, you know! I'm so in tune with my human family that I can read their body language and facial expressions.

Our six children, listed in birth order are Bandit (first-born, with a cute little mask). Tucker, because he gets tired after he gets his daily exercise, which is evident when he finds his favorite place on the living room sofa. Then there's Princess, so named because she is our 'first-born' daughter. After my Princess came our little Lola, a flirt from the get-go! Then came Bear, so much larger than the rest of my children. And last but not least, my baby Blaze, and yes, he shines! I can envision him being adopted as a companion dog for a weather forecaster on TV news. He will probably end up on camera somehow - and he'll definitely steal the show!
