I live with two Doxies, a boy, Buddha, but he gets called all sorts of nicknames, like Buddy Boy, and Mister, and a girl, Nellie, who also has nicknames, but mostly I call her Missy. They are brother and sister from the same litter. When I am home they have to be near by, whether I am in the kitchen or on the couch. They even let me sleep with them, although, I have to stay on my third of the bed. Lol. They are getting older, and my boy is completely blind, while my girl is going blind. This makes walking them difficult, due to them not knowing where they're going, and I somehow always end up with my legs tangled up in leashes.
