Arrival Story:
After the passing of Rhys I was thinking about getting another dog but I wasn't sure I was ready. A friend of a friend had a mixed breed female that recently had puppies. I agreed to go look at the puppies but said "I'm not ready for a new puppy just yet". When I got there I saw a number of primarily black puppies that were all playing with each other and showed no interest in any human companionship. Then a big bellied, little yellow guy came over and put himself right at my feet. When he looked up at me it was "love at first sight". He's been with me ever since and continues to brighten up my days.

Bio:
I love my family and try my best to be a good boy eventhough I always seem to be getting "hurt" some how. I'm always managing to get scrapes from chasing squirrels up trees in the back yard or boo-boos from playing to rough with Kea. Mom says I have a dueling scar from the time I developed an auricular hematoma that had to be drained. While I healed just fine, my left ear is now floppy at the top and doesn't want to stand up any more. I worry about Yoda when she doesn't move as fast as she once did (of course she's at least 16, if not older) and try to run to her aid when I hear her call. I just love attention and every morning I sit on Mom's lap when she is having her coffee and watching the early news.

The Trials and Tribulations of Darius


Hey Mom What About Us????

Mom just doesn't seem to understand that while she has a new job and needs to work that we've gotten used to her being home. We're so happy to see her when she gets back from university that we can't be quiet and we just want to love all over her. Maybe after we get back into our routine we'll be more relaxed, but heck it's been almost a month that we've had most of her attention!!! This withdrawal thing is kinda hard. Maybe the weekend will come soon and we can go walking along the towpath.

Hey there, I'm not sure what's going on with Mom. The last couple of days she's been gone and we haven't been out for any new and exciting walks. She's said something about "work" and then one day it was rainy all day long and I just hate the rain. Mom said that today we're gonna have some company so we have to be on our best behavior. Maybe company will want to walk with us???

Another Part of the C & O Canal Towpath

Wow, we went for our third long walk in three days. Yesterday we headed down to Brunswick, MD for another walk on the towpath (I think Mom really likes this trail). The trail was really muddy so by the time we had gone a mile my legs and belly were just covered with black gunk. I was kinda worried that I was gonna get a bath when we got home, but I kept going. The trail wasn't very close to the river and there were lots of tress. While the shade was really nice all the bugs were kinda annoying. Anyway, about 2 miles in there was this thing in the middle of the trail. It was really stinky and didn't move. When we got closer we saw that it was some kinda dead animal (poor animal) so we walked as far away as possible. Kea wanted to go explore but Mom said no way!!!! Anyway, we walked until we got to the place we turned around the day before and then headed back to the car. It was so much fun, but I was so tired. I almost forgot to drink and take a quick swim in the river before getting into the car. I'm glad I went for that swim cuz Momwas gonna give me a quick rinse at home if I didn't.

Let's see what adventures today brings.
