I've been told that Petey has the biggest feet anyone has ever seen on a dog. When he was a puppy we kept waiting for him to grow into his feet, it never happened! Dobes are suppose to have nice tight *cat like* feet, not my boy!

Another rainy week. Best walk in a long time, because there isn't another soul crazy enough to be out in the pouring rain, both boys were allowed to run off lead for the entire hike.

We are having the most gorgeous May ever! I've been taking the boyz for their walks and also spending time working out in the yard. Petey is loving all the fresh air and sleeping in the sun.

Another great work week with my boy. How do others survive not having their dogs with them all day long? I love having Petey at my side 24/7.

April 19, 2011 Will it ever stop raining???




No matter the weather....I take the boyz out for their walk. Today...it was 45 degrees and raining again!

This lazy boy who spent his entire day sound asleep while at work, jumped in the lake tonight! The water temperature must be in the 40s. I think he saw a muskrat on the shore dive in so he decided to go after him. He was trying to swim across the lake, and with his bad heart I had to be the mean mom and make him get out. After he got out, he promptly tried to dig it's hole out. Every day I'm with him is fun, he never fails to put a smile on my face.

I am so enjoying getting out with my Boyz now 2 times each day. The temps are still down in the 30s & 40s but for some reason it just seems so much more comfortable out. Lots of birds out, so it makes for wonderful walks. I now keep both of them on Flexi's and they are doing great. They have learned to stop and wait while I look at birds and animals with the binocs. This morning a lil shite dog and his buddy came after my two monsters, and they didn't even try to hurt them! The lil shite dog even jumped on each of my boyz backs to hump them and they kept their teeth to themselves. I did tell the owner...she is lucky that Petey didn't try to kill her dog. Leashes and good recall are the first two rules of dog ownership, other wise you are being a irresponsible owner!

Petey Day! 3/27/11


53 months old today!

Just Breathe:

Yes I understand that every life must end, aw huh...
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh...
I'm a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love...

Some folks just have one
Others they got none, aw huh...

Stay with me
Let's just breathe

Practiced are my sins
Never gonna let me win, aw huh...
Under everything, just another human being, aw huh...
Yea, I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world
To make me bleed

Stay with me
You're all I see

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
As I come clean


I wonder everyday
As I look upon your face, aw huh...
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, aw huh...
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
As I come clean

Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Hold me 'till I die
Meet you on the other side

Snowing again today, I took the boyz up to the park for a hike. They truly enjoyed themselves.
