Winnie Fields: Ollie, thanks so much for joining me. You’ve got quite the crew at home—what’s it like living with six other wiener dogs?

Ollie: It’s loud, it’s lively, and it’s never boring! I live with my brother Charlie, my sisters Stella and Luna, and the younger pups—Scooter, Jasper, and Snickers. We’re a pack through and through. We all have our quirks, but somehow it works.

Winnie: That’s a full house! How did you all find your way to the Cline family?

Ollie: Charlie, Stella, Luna, and I are all from Lincoln County, though not from the same litters. Scooter came from Red House, Jasper was rehomed from Boone County through Craigslist, and Snickers is the newest addition. He’s still figuring things out, but we already love him.

Winnie: Seven dogs under one roof—there must be some wild moments!

Ollie: Oh, absolutely. We sleep with the humans, run the house, and we take our job of protecting the yard from birds very seriously. Any feathered visitor gets an earful! We're loud and a little crazy, but that’s just part of the charm.

Winnie: Your family says you all go by some pretty unique nicknames. Can you share a few?

Ollie: Of course! None of us is ever called by our actual names. I go by Oddie, Doddie, Doddison, or Midder. Charlie is Chuck, Chuckie, or Churd. Stella is usually Steddy or Stelly. Luna? She’s Loona Tooners, Noonie, or Noons depending on the mood. Scooter answers to Boog, Boogie, or Boog a Loo. Jasper is also known as Japel, Jaween, or Awky Bean. And little Snickers? We call him Squishy, Squiggy Lee, or Nicky Doo. It’s kind of a free-for-all.

Winnie: What’s your favorite thing about living with your human family?

Ollie: The love. We’re treated like royalty. They let us sleep in bed, they chase us when we steal shoes or remotes, and they laugh with us even when we’re being trouble. We really are part of the family.

Winnie: Any final thoughts for our readers?

Ollie: Just this—seven wiener dogs might sound like a handful, but it’s a house full of love. Every bark, snuggle, and wag is worth it.
