Hemi the Dozer

Hemi at about eight months old

Hemi is such a polite lady... yeah right!

Hemi's nickname is Dozer because she just bulldozes into everything!

She is a sweet dog that just loves to play and play!

We recently adopted another dog to be a "friend" for her, and realized how much we love our Hemi girl (the adopted dog no longer lives with us)!

She is quite indpendent and doesn't listen when she's out exploring, but she's still obedient and kind. She tried and tried to get the new dog to play- sharing her toys and her bed with her (she actually put her toys on the other dog to share) and stalking her in the yard.

My husband hates dogs and it took a lot of begging to get Hemi.

My sister was the breeder so my husband saw the pups born and everything. (I actually think Hemi had him wrapped around her paw before we even took her home.)

She was not to ever come in the house, I had to feed her every day, he would never kiss me again if she ever licked my face, etc. He was not to have anything to do with MY dog. Well, she began sleeping in the house three months later, then sleeping in our room! And, when she was drooling beyong belief after a six mile run she slimed his shirt (sitting on the back of the 4-wheeler) and he said, "ah, a little slober- I can handle that." She follows him around all day, he burys his feet under her when he's cold. I was told that if she was bad dog we would never have another one.

I am so grateful we were blessed with Hemi (who he wanted to name Cummins or Powerstroke!)!
