TP and Little Gray

You know you have too many animals when you call them by their colors!
I have talked some of pets but thought I would give you a run down of what we have and why.
TP is a small dog I bought Daddy for his birthday four years ago(Dad is gone now). Dad had Alzheimer's and TP was just what he needed. He called her She-Dog and we called her Charmin until the day Dad put her in the commode and she has been TP or Toilet Paper ever since. TP, as most of our animals, does not know whether she is cat, dog, horse, goat or human. TP is adorable. Dad would place her in a position he wanted her in and trained her to stay. We are talking not normal dog positions...like laying on her back on his pillow looking dead! Many times I would check to see if she was breathing and she would open her eyes but stay the way Dad had placed. He was very gentle and loving with TP and she gave him hours of companionship. After Dad died, TP moved over to Marcy's house and stays as close to Marcy as she can. TP is also the only dog that the cats completely trust.
Little Gray is just as loving as TP. She is nursing her kittens plus another set that is as big as she is. LG also lives at Marcy's(just next door At The Farm).
I am a sucker for strays! We have nine dogs and that many cats at least but everyone gets along or endures everyone else.
We have two Border Collies, two mutts, an Italian Greyhound(a rescue), a Cocker Spaniel, a Rat Terrier, a jack/rat and of course, TP. I will try to tell each one's story soon.
Funny how the kids leave home but they leave their pets!
