Meet the Owners

Buttons is the grand dame of the Waller pack. At the time of these drawings, she was a small pup. Now, nine years old, she is a full grown English Bulldog. Buttons enjoys tormenting our UPS driver and eating. She barks at the animals on any nature TV show, so we don't watch much Discovery Channel in our house! Buttons spends her days sleeping under my desk.

Five years ago, Buttons delivered a beautiful, healthy litter of eight puppies. She was a good mother to all of them. She gives new meaning to the term "stay-at-home mom."

Bullwinkle J. Moose passed away December 2005 at the accomplished age of 12. He is sorely missed by our family. Please read our tribute to him...Farewell, My Friend.

Ezekiel Dry "Bones" is too large to be considered the baby of the group. At five years old, he weighs in at a whopping 69 pounds. He is such a loveable dog. He is patient and good company, too. He is the first dog to eat things that belong to the girls--he is an active participant in their tea parties. Bones loves that he can stay close to his mother, Buttons.
