I love pet threads on forums!
We have 2 children of the 4 legged variety also. Both are about 50lbs, and both are a couple of characters.
Our 1st rescue Java, is a pitbull mix, and we got her when she was about 6 months old in 2012. She barks non stop when she hears the garage door go up, even though nobody but her people ever come through that way. Similar things get he going too, like the sound of the UPS truck, the mailman's truck, FedEx's truck, the kids school bus, and of course our Ring Doorbell when it makes it's tone.
We got our second rescue Mocha, a Shar-pei mix, in 2016. We don't know her real age, but it was estimated she was around 2 years old then. She is very stealthy, think cat here, and likes to sneak around in our backyard. She is normally very quiet, but thanks to the other dog in the house, she has learned her bad habits. She now barks at all the delivery drivers in the neighborhood too. She is also my morning coffee pal, and gets upset if she can't go with me.
But at least they both usually get along with each other.
