July 9-16th Maine





















Petey had an awesome vacation to Maine. He ate lots of seafood, went for walks, swam, laid in the sun and relaxed, what more could a Dobeboy ask for???

Achlllies, Petey's brother


Petey's full Red brother from his liter has died from DCM July 4, 2011. His owner Andrew is devastated.

The boys continue to be good buddies. It's been a wonderful time having two despite the crazy added work of monitoring two intact males. They have a nice relationship, and have a lot of fun together each day. I think Monty's laid back personality allows their relationship, if he was a typical Doberboy...it wouldn't have worked out past Monty's puberty. We still hike each day and Petey continues to love and enjoy his life. We are off to Maine in a week, I plan on spending all my time with Petey.

Epic Petey moment! For Fathers Day I picked up Lobsters. We were all sitting on the deck, talking while cooking dinner. The box of Lobsters was over by the lobster pot. All of a sudden we realize we hear loud crunching noises coming from the side of the picnic table. I ask mom to look at the dogs and see what they are chewing on. They were sharing....a live lobster! Too funny! Petey loves loves loves lobster. We are going to Maine in a couple of weeks so he will get his fill there for sure!

Tomorrow is 18 months since our DCM nightmare began.

On today's hike Petey found a dead sunfish and proceeded to eat it! What is it about dead fish that he finds so appealing? Most dogs are content to roll in them, my boy loves the flavor!

Memorial Day weekend




These were sent to me while I was away...no shortage of love going out to this boy!

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.
