Other front paw. Next biggest apedog is Pack Lady of my pack, also Charlie-short-for-Charlotte, also Mum, also Darling. She is not as big as the Packleader (in fact she is quite little) but she barks higher and even more. She has no fur on face, lots of dark fur on head. She is SCARY FIERCE sometimes if she finds you with head-in-dustbin. I love her BIG AMOUNTS. More than pork chops.

Back paw. Apedog puppy bitch. She is nearly big now. She is Teresa, or Terri. She has no fur on face, fur on head, cuddles me. She has a box with loud howling and banging inside. She sits next to it and howls. Why does she get mad when I help with howling? I do not understand. I love her A LOT. More than kidneys.
