Arrival Story: Tubby was such a fantastic dog that I was determined to get him a doggy sibling. I was enamored of the big dogs at our local dog park and new I wanted a big boy dog. My husband and I went to the CACC on staten island after seeing an adorable brindle pit mix puppy on line. When we got to the shelter we realized the original puppy we had seen was as small as a yorkie and not destined to be bigger then 40 lbs. Then we saw Norbert in another cage. He had gigantic paws that looked like snow shoes on his little body. The shelter worker opened the cage door and he ambled out to us slow as molasses and tripped over his big feet. It was love at first sight.
Bio: Norbert is a smart and mellow dog. He knows how to roll over which is very cute. He has a wonderful disposition and is not crazy friendly like his big brother Tubby, but more dignified and reserved when meeting new people. For a brief time when we lived in Manhattan Norbert was a therapy dog with the Good Dog Foundation in Manhattan and visited a NAMI residence and a few other places. He did a wonderful job, but then we moved to New Jersey. Norbert is much better behaved on his own then when under the influence of his mischevious older brother Tubby who encourages barking and other bad behaviors. Though friendly outside of the home, he is very protective and defintely discourages people from lingering at our gate with his big barks. Everyone has opinion about what Norbert's breed mix is I have heard american bulldog, great dane, pinter, greater swiss mountain dog, dalmation, lab, etc. Norbert has come to piece with his mysterious heritage and has accepted that he is simply the perfect dog.

Guess what! Im the featured pet on lindeline designs website. www.lindenlinedesigns.com
Mom bought the tie I wore from halloween from them, she's bought lots of stuff from them. They are one of her favorite pet fashion stores. Just today mom ordered a holliday collar for my cat sister Baby, she wishes she could buy more but she has to keep the budget in line. Especially since my yearly vet visit today was 300 dollars for titers, bloodwork, heart worm, and physical. Of course Im totally worth it, Im priceless!
Guess what? Today I one a prize in a halloween pet parade costume contest. Mom and Dad took me Zira, and Bob to the Canis Minor pet parade in Pavonia Newport. Mom and Dad's friend Joyce and her boyfriend and their dog Nacho came too. I wore a wig from wiggles dog wigs and a tie from linden line designs. Mom said I was an office worker but lots of people thought I was supposed to be Donald Trump, my wig was a bit messed up. Anyway at the end everyone voted for a winner and I won, people wrote in toupee for my costume. We got a 25 dollar gift certificate from canis minor, the store where mom and dad buy all our food, and toys, and chewies. I got a chewie and a talking pumpkin that says trick or treat with my gift certificate.
I went on a great new urban dog walk Saturday with Bob and mom and dad while Zira wa sgetting groomed at canis minor. Unfortunately mom left the camera at home we walked along the waterfront walkway from Pavonia new port in jersey city into hoboken. You can see the nyc skyline and there are nice wide pathways and lots of benches. Here is a link http://www.nj.com/hobokennow/index.ssf/2009/09/its_open_wate rfront_walkway_fr.html
Im a big fan of Hoboken (they have some of my favorite dog stores) so I loved the walk. I hope we go again soon
