Jude and Candy

Jude is a beagle/terrier mix. We ‘adopted’ him when one of our renters moved and couldn’t take him. He loves for you to play with him and his rope bone! He has a growly-talk to let you know when he wants attention. He can also bey and howl like a beagle. We affectionately call him ‘Judy-Booty’. In fact, we have elongated it to “Judy’s Booty is on Duty”!

Jude also likes to think he is a lap dog. When he was younger, he certainly fit your lap fine. But now he has grown into quite a plump sausage, yet he still manages to plop on top of you and put his muzzle right in your face and give you a sloppy lick.

Candy is a full blooded minature schnauzer. She was a gift from Nana when their dog Sissy had a litter of puppies. Keighly picked her out. Candy’s full name is Candy Cane. She has a sister named Pepper Mint! Although she is the smallest of our dogs, she should have been named ‘Killer’. Several times she has come into the house with a dead critter in her mouth, proudly bringing it to Incredi-Mom’s feet and wanting praise.

Here is a great example of why we call Candy “Killer”. I don’t see how she could even fit this huge mole in her small mouth, but she managed to find, kill, and retrieve the mole into the house right at the feet of the sofa. First thing in the morning, as the kids were getting ready for school. Yay! Incredi-Mom was not happy.
