Ah these four – when we walk down the street with them we get many questions. Mostly asking if they are all ours or are we dog walkers. We have a pack of dogs. The following stories in this section will explain how we came to have 4 F’ing dogs. We are crazy yes but the circumstances all point to Belafonte.
Since they are a pack of dogs, they react together, protect each other, they work as a team. It is cool most of the time. I love watching their interaction. I could write a book, which I may, about their behavior and their role within the pack. Obviously if they are not properly trained bad things could happen. For instance, when we were at our farm house and within 3 days they killed; a rabbit, an iguana, a duck and broke up two duck families trying to get the babies. They also chased several cows and scared off some horses. Don’t get me started on cats. They are hunters for sure. It is believed that both Zena and Belafonte are part Giant Schnauzer and part German Wired Haired Pointer. We are still not sure how Flora came out the way she did but who knows – recessive genes are funny like that.
I love them. I can’t imagine my life without them. Rodrigo and I could never make that “Sofie Choice”. Our biggest fear is us dying and they have no one to care for them. I’ll be soliciting godparents soon.
