Arrival Story:
We saw a very cute puppy at the store where we buy our lizards food. We found out it was a Pyr, went home, researched the breed, took a year to find one and voila, Axl joins the family.

Bio:
Axl comes from Pyrview Kennels. His parents are showdogs and his sister is now, too. He came from a family that really loves their dogs. Update April 29, 2008: Axl and his little Jack Russell friend Tasha were deliberately poisoned by someone this past weekend. Someone put food soaked in antifreeze into our yard and they ate some of it. By the time we figured out what happened, it was too late. They were suffering from acute kidney failure. Tasha had already started having seizures. They were both put to sleep on Sunday April 27. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I am trying to do what I can to find out who did this but it's tricky. Unless someone comes forward with information, no one will ever be punished for killing these dogs. I have offered a reward for information that leads to a conviction. If the reward is not claimed, the money will go to the Windsor Essex County Humane Society. Please, remember this: Dogs vomit for many reasons. Most advice says to withhold food for 24 hours and then re-introduce something bland. In the case of antifreeze poisoning, 24 is TOO LONG. You may have a chance to save your pet if you act within 5 hours. Don't wait if you are unsure.

My mom's friend has a doggie. Her name is Tasha and she is a small doggie, a Jack Russell. She runs around A LOT. My girl Cassie and I babysit Tasha sometimes. I like her but she steals my food. Oh, well, I just let her have it because my mom will give me more later. Cassie likes to have a smaller dog to walk and play fetch with while I supervise. Also, Tasha fits in her bed. I prefer the floor...more room to stretch out.

It's starting to get warm again, grrr. I need my walks early or late after the sun goes down. So I pretty much lay around all day in the shady spot of the yard. I like to dig dig dig a cool spot in the dirt and park my furry behind right in it. Feels so good! Mom can brush me out, no problem.

Life is good when people love you.

 

Busy doggie?

Way back in September I won a prize! At the Humane Society walk-a-thon I won for Biggest Dog. I got a new blankie and a new leash and some treats...those didn't last long.
The new leash came on handy because on Christmas eve my other one broke. My dad was sooo mad because, well, I don't like to come when I'm called and I ran fast and far and it was cold and I was very hard to catch....what can I say, I like to explore. Santa brought me a new water dish that can be used when I go for walks because it can squish to fit in a pocket. I really need that in the summer. I get hot and thirsty very quickly.
I finally got a ride in the new truck. Woof! It was time to go get my shots. Usually my mom walks me to the vet but this time she walked my halfway and had dad and Cass meet us to drive us the rest of the way. She says it's too cold but I don't even notice. Wind chill? Whatever that is.
I'm still a great guard dog. So good that I had to go sleepover at the kennel so that my family could have people over for the Superbowl. That's something about a ball game...boring. Grrr, chasing balls is not for me. Now, chasing bunnies is a different story. On my walks I smell many bunnies and I see their little tracks but I haven't actually seen a bunny for a long time. Maybe they hear me coming! I just want to play.
Well, nap time for me. Woof you later.

Woof!
I love winter. I love snow. Pretty soon, mom says, it'll be here. Grrreat. Then I can run it in and dig in it and eat it and pull mom down into it. I can sleep in it too. This fur is perfect for that. I have to sleep overnight in the house though. I guess I bark a lot. Well, only when someone walks by but it is kinda loud. I am kinda big...I can't help it.

It's late and I'm dog tired , haha. Woof ya later.
