Lauren Williams. "Miley"

7 years old, Chocolate Lab and one of my three dogs is Miley who we also call "Corpse" or "The 9k Dog". We got her a few years ago at some pet shop and she was about 3 months old and was the runt of the litter so nobody really wanted her. At the time she was welcomed into our home with one other senior dog who is no longer with us. About 2 years later we all moved to Bayport and she was a very hyper and active puppy who (like Cooper) loved to chew. It wasn't until she chewed the fabric off a tennis ball and swallowed it where it later ended up getting stuck along the lining of her small intestine. We rushed her to about 2 or 3 different animal hospitals until they were able to surgically remove the fabric. After her recovery, her vet bills were up to $9,000. Miley was sick on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and we were all home from school, if we weren't home that day, she would've died. To this day we are so thankful she was given a second chance at life and she's happy at home living with her brother and sister. I particularly like this picture because I feel like it perfectly describes her personality. She's kind of stupid, but wise at the same time and is a master of getting herself into trouble even as she gets older.

Lauren Williams. "Cooper"

This is one of my youngest dogs, his name is Cooper and he is a 6 month old Golden Retriever. We drove about 3 hours out of state to a breeder just to get him because my brother has always wanted his own dog. He loves the water and loves swimming, we can't wait to see how he reacts to snow this winter. Don't be fooled by his adorable puppy dog eyes because in reality he is a walking tornado. He managed to destroy the couch, a few flower pots, some socks and pillows and even left quite an abundance of holes in the backyard. It's also fun at night when he cries and whines while he's in his crate because he chews the molding if we let him have the run of the house at night:) Besides all the damage he's one big mush who believes he's the size of my Yorkie and will try to climb into your lap when he's done playing. We can't wait to see what else this dog is capable of and what will be destroyed in the future. 

Lauren Williams. "Zoey" 

This is one of my 3 dogs, Zoey Lynn. She's a 4 year old Teacup Yorkie. Don't be fooled by her size because she packs one hell of a personality into her little body. If you pick up her favorite rubber tire you won't be able to catch a break because she will play with you until you have had enough and there's no stopping her. The moment you decide to stop, she'll yell at you with her obnoxious, high pitched bark, and when that doesn't work?...She'll pick up the tire and drop it either on your lap or right next to your hand until you throw it again. The only way I can get a good shot of her is if I hold her tire above my camera, otherwise she moves way too fast. She knows she's a princess so when we take trips to the dog park, she wants nothing to do with any of the other dogs because she thinks she's better than all of them**insert information desk clerk emoticon**
