Arrival Story:
I am living away from my family (I'm in the military) for a year or so and have a small condo. I have had boxers as far back as I can remember, but my place is too small. So, I started looking for a small breed that would be as easy to manage as boxers. I came across MinPins at Petfinders and thought, "well, it's small enough and there were plenty out there that needed a new forever home". Kingston was not my first choice. I had 23 minpins to chose from at one foster home. I was amazed at the 23 distinct and original personalities! Kingston chose me. For him, it was love at first sight (not to mention the roomy jeep and great places to walk on the canal). Bonding was immediate as far as he was concerned. After a 3 hour drive back to MA, he made himself right at home - in other words, took over the bed, the couch and my favorite pillow! So, after 6 months, we have become inseparable.

On the treadmill that is - - I was a bit shy of it for some time now. But, when I saw how much fun AB was having with mom, I just had to give it a go! I just have to wait until AB is tired. She really doesn't like to give up her spot on the treadmill.
I tried to get on with mom and AB, but mom said that was too dangerous. So, I sit and wait my turn.
I think mom is getting tired though. Instead of her 40 minutes on the tread, she now walks and runs for 90 minutes. It would take more than that to tucker me out!


FINALLY - AN UPDATE

Since I can't get mom to update my site, I figured I'd do it myself! As you can see, I finally added the rest of the family. Nestle is the baby of the bunch and AB well, use you imagination!! She's been dubbed A**Biter but to me she is definitely the ALPHA B****!! Nestle and I get along most of the time (I have a bit of the little green monster in me) but AB, well she will not let us play together at all. She takes all the toys, bones and chewies. One time when mom let us have an extra chew stick, AB confiscated them all and plopped down on them so no one else could get one. Talk about selfish! Mom has been working on this problem with her - - but right now it's no better. So, when Nestle (Skeeterbutt) and I have treats we head in opposite directions so AB has no idea which way to go!!
The neighborhood has dubbed mom the shepard. We love the long walks but what a sight to see mom walking the three of us together! AB being the largest of us does all the pulling and all she wants to do is walk. What about taking a potty break! Do you have any idea what it's like to be pulled of the phone pole in mid stream!!!! And I know Nestle feels the same way.
We're pretty lucky right now cuz' mom doesn't have to go to work. We get to go out back anytime we want, and go walking twice a day. I love it when we take different routes and get to go to the beach. I love the water; AB hates the water and Skeeter, well, he's still deciding.
Mom siad our friend from MA is coming to visit this weekend, but she is not bringing my best friend, Lilly, with her. I miss Lilly and the pond in MA. But, next year mom said we can all go to MA to visit Lilly. In the meantime, I will be working on AB and her attitude. Bye for now! Can't wait to see mom's reaction when she reads this!


DOGGIE DAY CARE

Don't tell - - I snuck out this evening to tell everyone how things are going here. Well, I miss mom and the family, but, I have AB to keep me company. It's been fun, but I want to go home. AB has had a tough time with this. She thinks we are not going home. I keep whispering "everything is going to be alright, I promise." AB has stayed close to me and we snuggle together at night. She still does not get it - - playing, I mean. I know that when she growls playing tug o' war, it's her play growl. The other dogs don't get it. So, she stays in a corner all by herself most of the time. I do get play time in, but I stick close to AB to make her feel better.

Dad is supposed to be here in the morning! Can't wait!! Mom is coming home on Wednesday, FOR GOOD!

Uh - OH gott'a run, I hear the kennel police!!!!

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME, THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!
