Brooklyn

We adopted beautiful Brooklyn in September 2011 and it has been a love fest ever since. She is a wonderful, loving and elegant dog and we are thrilled to have her as a member of our family.

Buddy

He is 11 months and around 130lbs. He is a mischievous obedient learner. He enjoys putting his "spin" on training but his progress is amazing. He is always keeping a watchful eye on his house and we no longer need a door bell he barks twice and sits by the door. Almost with a "hello someone is here to see me". I thinks he thinks that our kids are his brother and sister because he is always tagging along or resting his head next to them. He has deemed himself as their protector. He is great with other dogs and has never showed aggression any more than was needed to say " I don't like that" when other dogs try and rough house with him. We wouldn't trade him for the world.

Bear

Bear has been a real angel. Since, we brought him home he has had free range of the house and he has not had any problem. He gets along with all the neighborhood dogs and loves all the neighborhood kids. As a matter of fact, one day he was surrounded by about eight kids. He just stood there calmly and let them all pet him. Last night we had a little get together with about 10 people and Bear just hung out in the dining room. Really, he has just been an all around great dog. It's hard to believe that someone would have neglected him. He still has some quirky habits but I hope to eventually work all that out with time. I've attached a few photos from today. I'll have to get one with the kids, because they really can't get enough of Bear. I'm not sure if you have ever seen Bear, but he has gained a little weight. He's still skinny but he's looking much better. Also, this week was another big step forward with toys: Bear was willing to play tug a war. Also, he no longer pulls on walks for cats, rabbits, and squirrels. We're still working on not pulling for dogs. This week we're going to start an obedience class. So, I'm hoping we can work that one out by having dogs work near him. Joe

Buster

Well, his name is Tristan, and he's about 110 lbs now. He's absolutely georgous. We've been thru basic obedience training, and MOST of the time he does VERY well! He's 11 mos. old as of the 20th of May, and a very happy, healthy, exhuberant puppy! :) I live in Norfolk, and this year, Tristan and I marched in the St. Patrick's Day parade with the Irish American Society. We have a friend who has a 165lb Irish Wolfhound--he's the only dog who makes Tristan look small! :) Tristan and Einstein also attended the recent Dock Dogs event at the local Care-A-Lot here in Norfolk. He didn't do any dock-diving, but enjoyed the heck out of meeting new people and dogs, and he did really well. Tristan has another dog-mate named Blue Dog (Blue Dobermann), and 3 cats that he interacts with as well, so although he's interested in birds and squirrels (although he will turn his attention when told to "leave it") he doesn't typically care what the cats are up to at all. We go for 2 walks a day, and whenever the weather permits, we head to the beach for some "run-around" time. :) He's the best puppy on the planet, and it's really a joy to watch him grow up

Beckett

These are our 4-legged babies! We adopted Beckett and Mandy last fall, Spidey (the black shepherd) loves his new buddies :) This picture was taken shortly after we got them.
