The pups usually take a nap after their morning walk/breakfast and in the noon time after their afternoon walk/run.  They are very picky about where to nap, and have their favorite places.  Jude likes dark, cool places like her brother Frances’ bed in the back bedroom.  Penny and Frances prefer to sleep by the window on the window seat, soaking up the sunshine.  We try to make it as comfy as possible there for the pups.  Sally usually likes to sleep on the soft comfy couches.  She always looks like she’s having a great dream.  

Introducing...Sally

Sally was the last of our adopted pups, and she turned 1 on December last year.  She was abandoned with her two other siblings, Mac and Flo, and was featured at Tokyo ARK.  We instantly fell in love with her because of her uncanny resemblance to our own Penny Layne!  The face, the ears, and the spot?!  Sally and Penny both have a perfect round circle on the opposite sides of their body.  Because of their similarities she was given the middle name PJ (Penny Junior).

Sally is always wagging her tail and giving us love.  She is playful and very sweet. Everyone loves Sally including the hard-headed Frances and the boss Jude.  They can’t help but play with her and tease her a bit.  Sally is an active girl and will run, walk and play until she's worn out.  She is also very smart, and waits for her food like a good girl.  We are all proud of our Sally!

Introducing...Frances!

Frances was once a tiny baby, who we thought would be smaller than Penny (26 lbs), but bigger than Jude (24 lbs). Instead, he decided to grow long legs and become a 46 lb dog! Frances was found by ARK abandoned at a school in a cardboard box. He was with his only other known sibling, Fizz. Frances was flown over to Tokyo ARK, from Osaka, where we picked him up and brought him home. Everyone in our house fell in love with Frances immediately... except Jude. It took awhile for her to warm up to him.

Frances is a very active dog, and loves to go outside when he can. He running partner is Penny, and both boys can run up to 9 miles with us. He loves to walk as well, and on special days visit the dog park where he plays soccer with...tennis balls?? Yes, he plays soccer with tennis balls. We will kick the ball, and Frances will chase it down, or block your kick as a goalie. He also loves food, and will eat anything. He loves chicken, carrots, apples, cheese, yogurt, and everything a dog is allowed to eat.

Introducing...Dollie

Dollie is a big dog stuck in a small dachshund body. She is looks like a teddy bear, but is actually a wire-haired dachshund. Dollie came from a very rough backround, being kept in a puppy mill and made to give birth to numerous litters of puppies. All of her babies were taken away from her right after she gave birth. She was rescued with 32 other small breed dogs by ARK. Without them, we may not have had our Dollie.

Dollie is a funny girl. She is very fashionable, with an array of clothes that could put people to shame! Her favorite clothes features Buddy Lee, and when she has to put on clothes, she will raise her arms. Her favorite pastimes include walks, eating good snacks, cuddling and being loved.
