Likes: To harass fur sister Kayla - he loves to grab her by the collar, the neck, or by her tail and drag her around. It's funny, but Kayla seems to tolerate it!
Pet-Peeves: Being put in his crate!!
Favorite Toy: Anything that Kayla is playing with.
Favorite Food: Whatever Mama is eating.
Favorite Walk: Outside, down the dirt road with Kayla and Mama
Best Tricks: He learned how to High Five mama and we are now working on rolling over and coming when called off leash.
Arrival Story: After Vegas died, the house was too quiet, so Kayla, Brisco's fur sister, and Mama decided to go adopt a new companion from the local Humane Society. It was love at first sight and Brisco came home with us two days later!! He now has a Fur-ever Home!!!
Bio: While the Humane Society said Brisco is a Black Lab and German Shepherd mix, he really looks more like Black Lab/Bernese Mountain Dog.... or Beagle/Black & Tan Hound.... or Beagle/Rottweiler.... or Beagle/Black Lab.... He has big white feet and a cross of white on his chest. Guess it was just meant to be!!
Forums Motto: I am trouble waiting to happen!

The Last Forum I Posted In: The most expensive things your beagle has chewed…
My first snow!: It snowed big time today! We got at least 10 inches and it was over my head. I loved chasing Kayla through the snow but had a hard time keeping up with my little legs. She liked running ahead and hiding in the tree line playing hide and seek with me. Just wait until I grow up - she will really be in trouble then!!!!
Now what am I??: Brisco is now almost 5 months old and looking less and less like a Black and Tan or Bernese Mtn Dog, but more like a Black Lab or Rottweiler mix. And boy does he have a set of lungs on him! He definitely has a beagle howl and he sounds like Peter Brady singing on the Brady Bunch, with his howl cracking. Brisco is just hysterical to watch!!
Fat Boy is right!: Well, Mama weighed Brisco this morning and her cute little bundle of lard weighed over 30 pounds. He just spilled fat rolls all over the scales! He is such a love bug - always wanting to lay in Mama's lap for a belly or back scratching.
Baby Harp Seal: Brisco now knows how to give a high five, sit, lay down, come to his name, and come when called when he is outside. He loves to sit up on his hind legs and play boxer with Kayla. It is really funny to watch him try to give her a playful left hook, but the thing that makes Mama laugh the most is when he jumps down from the couch, he jumps with his front legs, then slithers down the seat, stretching out his back legs as if he was a seal slipping into the water.
Housebroken Already????: Mama is SO proud of Brisco! He has not relieved himself in the house in a WEEK!! He lets Mama know he has to go out by trying to get her to follow him to the door - or if Mama is on the couch, jumping up and standing on her until she says, "Wanna go out?!" Mama can't believe that he is housebroken to puppy pads when she is gone and housebroken outside when she is home in only a month and half!! That's my smart Brisky boy!!!
Interior Decorator?: I like to surprise my mom by redecorating the house when she leaves. I make confetti out of kleenex, toilet paper, magazines, hard cover books, or anything else I can find and place it all over the living room floor. I arrange her shoes, pieces of the Boston Fern, pillows, blankets, socks, and my toys and decorate over the confetti. I want to surprise Mama by showing her how happy I am to have her home. Unfortunately, Mama does not seem happy or appreciative about the interior decorating I do for her. She will come around sooner or later that I am only trying to help....
Slimer!!!: Brisky Bee has a new nickname.... SLIMER! Those of you that can remember the Ghostbuster's cartoon know that they had a "pet" ghost named Slimer. Slimer was always getting into trouble and making messes. Brisco and Slimer must be related... Anyway, Brisco came in from playing with his sister Kayla and had a long, St. Bernard sized slobbery, slimy, doggy drool hanging from his mouth. Hence, the nickname "Slimer" - which he loves, by the way!!!!
Brisky Bulldozer: It's June 13 and Brisco is now 54 pounds, 8 months old, and 2 pounds heavier than his Shepherd sister Kayla. He is still half her size, but a little, squatty, stocky, bulldozer! He still loves to drag her around by her collar, neck fur, or her tail and his favorite thing to do is steal her bone or toy while she is playing with it. She adores her little fur brother and tolerates his harassment longer than I would!!! Way to go Kayla!!!!
