Arrival Story: I had sworn off ever having another dog after we had my pal, Bear (Border Collie mix), of 15 years put down. But then one day I found myself crying as I walked through the dog section of a local store and I knew it was time. I found Skye through an ad in the newspaper. She had 8 brothers and sisters, and they all looked different. We originally thought she was Lab and Great Dane--we called her a Dane-a-dor, but now I believe she's a Catahoula Leopard Dane-a-dor!
Bio: Due to poor breeding and her parents being too old, she started out with a lot of health problems from a compromised immune system. She has had almost every kind of worm, has struvite crystals and has to be on medication for life, and had demodectic mange--so her first year with us was a little rocky. To make up for it, she is the sweetest dog I have ever known, and was a breeze to train. She gives us a good laugh with her antics at least once a day, and gives us TONS of love. She's the BEST!

My good friend, Maebe invited me to play ice cream tag. This new tag game is a tasty one. You say what type of ice cream you would be based on your looks (or maybe your personality?) and then ask 5 friends to do the same. Mom and I thought and thought and tried many samples at our local Katie's Korner (ice-cream paradise in our neck of the woods) and we came to the conclusion that I'm most like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream....heavy on the cookie dough, please. I think I resemble that flavor nicely, and the parts of it without chocolate are oh, so good! This game was a lot of fun, so I'm sending it along to 5 of my pals:
He's 5 months old, and he's a Black Lab/Weimaraner mix. He's Mom's new Grand-dog, belongs to my big bro' & Co. So I guess that sorta makes him my cousin? Mom calls him "Hanky Panky" or "Lanky Hanky". I haven't actually met him yet. Mom isn't sure how I'd like a biting, yapping, in-your-snout puppy. If it turned out that I didn't like him, there isn't a whole lot Mom could do to protect him since I'm so much bigger. The plan is to wait until he gets a little older, and hopefully gets some manners, and then we'll see. From what Mom says, he's a pretty mellow boy most of the time, but is a maniac when my big bro' shines a laser light for him to chase, BOL!
We haven't been around on Dogster much lately, we sure do miss all of our Pals! We've been dealing with some health stuff, and then there's our dinosaur internet connection that gets slower every day. Sure hope Mr. O'Bama keeps his word about rural broadband coverage. At any rate, I hope all of my Pals are happy and healthy and getting plenty of cookies and bones. I hope to write again real soon!
My best Dogster Pal, Xena has gone to the Bridge. Please, Pups, say a prayer--send good thoughts--whatever you believe--to her loving pack to help them through this most difficult time. Peace be with you , Sweet Xena.
