-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well I'll start with Kes, she's very protective of "her " laundry basket. She likes to sleep in it, no matter if the clothes are clean or dirty, she wants to lay in it and will growl or whine when mom uses it to switch the loads . She likes to go into the woods to hunt. She once actually caught and killed a racoon that was bigger than she was. (Mom was not very happy with her about that, but Kes thought she did great.)Kes likes to ride in the truck and "drive" on daddy's lap. Kes can wakeboard and ski tube with mom and the boys behind the boat. Gracie uses her front paws just like they are hands, she touches you to be petted and won't stop until you do, she can open the screen door by pushing the handle down, she holds her toys, spoons, dishes cupped in her paw almost like a human can. Gracie is our smartest dog, she did the best on a doggie intelligence series of tests. Gracie likes to use her harness to pull the wagon with the grandkids in it when we take them for a walk around the lake. Pearl likes to "talk", she will make all sorts of funny whines, whistles, groans and such when you say "talk to me", you can say a word like "Pizza" or " momma" and she can come very close to mimicing it. She knows many human words and will follow along on a conversation. Once dad had lost the tv remote and was looking for it, he asked the boys  "Where's the remote?" and Pearl without having been addressed herself, jumped up off of her bed and walked over to the sofa and started sniffing and scratching underneath it, the remote was there. Dad started a game and now she can find it wherever he" hides" it,( or looses it again , which ever comes first.) We tagged, Buster and Gino, Dooley and Friends, Parker ,Lemonade, Harry and Tarot Carrot, they all rock.
