"Casey" Tosh
is a Border Collie owned by Patti and Don Tosh.
This is what Patti says about "Casey":
"I am really proud of him! We live in Fond du Lac,
Wisconsin. Casey was the only tri-color in a litter of 7 (all boys).
He was only 2 and 1/2 weeks old when we got him because his mother had dried up and was no longer feeding the pups. Right now he is 17 months
old.
He loves to chase our cat around the house, and play
frisbee, football,and pull on his pull toy. He knows a lot of words
already. He has his own Christmas stocking and looks at it when we say "Where is Santa going to put your toys?" If I drop something on the floor I just have to say "could you get that for me?" and he picks it up and gives it to me. He knows how to wave at people. He loves to go to Grandma's house and on my paper route. He knows hand signals for wave, lay down, rollover, and stay.
You would think he was my child the way I talk about him, but I do have a 10 year old son, so it's just a thing that dog lovers do (talk a lot about the dogs). There's just so much to say!!
P.S. He is a Packer fan too."

"Freckles" Grant,
owned by Richard and Maria Grant of Jupiter, is a parti-color cocker spaniel.
Here's "Freckles" biography sent by her mom.
"Nicknames: Freckie, Freckle Butt, Wiggle Butt (she answers to all).
Date of Birth: May 3, 1999 (21 months old).
Adopted: August 22, 1999.
Favorite toys: Green Octopus; Red Tarantula; Baby Doll.
Freckles likes to play with everything and everyone. She brings a toy to share and tug with you. She usually wins every game. If she doesn't have your attention, she demands it by coming to you and tapping you with her paw, tilting her head (as if to say "Why won't you pet/play with me?").
Favorite food: All treats - Food is not her priority - we have to bribe her to eat. Of course, people food is always accepted - we do not allow this, but that doesn't stop her from sitting there and begging.
Favorite activity: Going for walks with Richard (morning and evening) around our complex. She is the neighborhood pet. All the children come running to pet and hug Freckles (the parents are also quite taken by her pleasant personality and loving nature - she is definitely a 'people dog').
Favorite pastime: Chasing lizards and bugs (almost caught a butterfly one day) in back yard - a rabbit comes visiting often - doesn't stay long. The rabbit doesn't outrun Freckles, but he hides in bushes and she can't get to him. Freckles likes music - we have the radio on for her when we are not at home - will SING ALONG (only to opening theme song of The Bold & Beautiful soap).
Overall, Freckles is a pleasure to have around. Her personalilty and
loving, trusting nature is a joy. She is very nosey, inquisitive and doesn't want to miss a thing. Gets involved in everything that is being done around her. She loves to HUG, KISS, SNUGGLE and VISITORS. If she feels ignored, she will come over and HUG, and KISS you (no matter what you are doing). When the phone rings, she runs to door and waits for visitor (in our community, our visitors have to call us and we open the gate - therefore, whenever she hears the phone - she expects friends are coming to play.
In addition to all these wonderful attributes, she is well behaved. She is NOT a barker (only barks if someone is crossing into her territory
outside). She lets us know if there is danger. She also has a protective, concerned nature. When anyone is on the floor (expecially when exercising or watching t.v.) she comes over - checks the nose to see if we are breathing then lies down and joins in the fun with her head on your shoulder. She now can be left alone - doesn't need her cage. Her ONLY PROTEST is taking down the dishtowel from the handle of stove. If that is all that she will do the rest of her life, she can have all the dish towels she wants - she doesn't distroy them, only uses them as a bedmat...Richard and I don't know how we got along without her - her many friends at Harmony all know what a wonderful pet she is."
