Like most people, our dogs are our babies. They have personalities all their own. They are usually a pain in the rear...but I can't image the Vanilla Bean house without them.
So...without further adieu, I would like you to meet:

Momma's girl or Daddy's girl? Momma's girl
The vet says I: Am perfect and sweet as pie
