Lancey Poo


Shortly after getting married Kevin and Rachel made a three hour trip on nothing but back roads to get the CUTEST dog you will ever meet. Sir Lancelot Yates is his given name... but is more commmonly referred to as Lancey Poo. He is a yorkshire terrier, which are generally small dogs, but Lance is exceptionally small weighing less then a pound when we brought him home (at nine weeks) and only four pounds now almost full grown!

He is a VERY snuggly and playful puppy and until recently hardly ever barked... He must have just discovered his barking ability because he is using it alot as of late! When we first brought him home he would forget to eat his food and struggled to keep his blood sugar up and therefore would often have seizures... it was the saddest thing because all we could do was hold on to him and wait it out til the seizure was over and then try to get him to eat! We are extremely happy to say that he has passed the seizure stage and has not had one in months!

Lance has two best friends, our SASSY cat Cloe... seriously you will never see better friends then these two. They play together and snuggle together... Cloe is trully his big sister always taking care of him... she is often caught doing things such as dragging the toliet paper off the roll just far enough that Lance can reach it and proceed to stretch it ALL over our house! His other best bud is his elephant. The elephant was originally my baby nephews but (sorry Corbin) Lance has claimed it as his own!

I witnessed the friendship between Lance and his elephant last year... That poor elephant got deflowered by Lance. LOL
I've also witnessed the toilet paper thing. And also how if Chloe is getting in trouble doing something (i.e., playing with Christmas presents), Lance is soon to follow. But I'm looking so forward to spending time with them when you all go to FL in July!

Rebecca... we so appreciate you watching them in july!Both Lance and Cloe are ROTTEN... but what can I expect when we have spoiled the tar out of them? As far as the elephant goes... all I can say is poor poor elephant, I am sure when corbin brought him home he never thought he would end up as a dogs ummm playmate!
