Ashley Gain's Partners in crime

They are my little munchkins, they follow me around the house, never leaving my side. They stand under 20 inches to the ground but with their big personalities you would think that were 7' ft tall.

Cupcake {named after Strawberry Shortcake} is a totally a bossy prissy princess. We call her the HDIC {Head Dog In Charge}. She lets out one little bark when she wants your attention, and only comes to you when she feels like it. She is loyal and smart, she loves to lick when you are within inches of her face. She is momma's girl and sleeps by her side every night.
Marlee {named after Bob} is all heart, she wants to lay as close to you {sometimes right on top of you} as possible, she wags her tail when is she being punished. She is a big baby and makes your heart melt each time you are around her. Since the day we brought her home she stares right at you like she is falling in love, it's the cutest.
These little munchkins are being featured in a North Scottsdale magazine. I did the interview and I thought it would be fun to share it with you. *smile*

- Tell us your pet’s story. Cupcake was purchased by Ashley at a toy pet store and brought home to meet Brad! Marlee was rescued by Ashley when she was a puppy after surviving parvo and was also brought home by Ashley to meet Brad! It’s a joke in our home that Brad doesn’t get to meet our pets until they already have moved in.

- What special talents/quirks does your pet have? Cupcake watches TV and when animals come on the screen she stands on her hind legs for minutes at a time and just stares at them, all along barking of course. Marlee can pose for treats. She takes her front right leg and holds it to her chest. Ashley calls it her Paris Hilton pose.

- What’s the funniest story you have about your pet? This is probably too much information but Ashley caught Cupcake chewing on something when she was 10 months old. That “something” was the setting to Ashley’s diamond earring, but the diamond was gone. After a few days of a lot of worrying Cupcake gave Ashley her diamond back. *wink wink*

- Just how spoiled is your pet? Ashley would say not too spoiled and Brad would say it’s absolutely ridiculous how they are treated. We just agree to disagree. *smile*

- What else should we know about your pet and/or how your pet has enriched your home/family? There is nothing like coming home to our dogs after a long day and seeing how consistent their love for us is, tails wagging and jumping up to say hi. I think we actually learn a lot from our dogs on how to love unconditionally each and every day!
