Mickey Pirsch is a 13 year old bulldog.  He is a prodigious sleeper excellent snorer, and devoted to laying in the "tick" position (all four legs out to the sides at once) to cool off on our stone floor.  Monty Pirsch is an eight year old English Cocker, committed to ridding the yard of squirrels, catching splashes in the pool and lake, and howling whenever left alone.  Both are dedicated eaters of peanut butter, cheese and steak.
