The brother (Diesel) will go on runs with me, but I want to wait a little while longer to take the girl. Well, Im starting to notice that she gets very warm, Very quickly. For example: I just...

    Two questions that I get sometimes that bug me... (minor rant, my apologies)

Our boy had been in the middle of a growth spurt so he looked all awkward and legthy (love that phase!!)anyways... A lady, who is friends with my in-laws; and is a VERY uppity boxer "show-er?" (a.k.a. competes in...

    Nicknames

    Diesel - Snuf-a-lufagous (because he huffs and snuffs when hes "talking back") Harley - Har Har or Miss.priss Combined I call them Bubbies.. Im not too sure how that came about.. probably from calling them "puppies" in baby talk and just getting lazy! But I love calling them that!

    Puppy Terror!!

    I usually take her out every 30 minutes and she would go to the bathroom, so when we went inside I would be shocked when she goes again in like 10 minutes! I just cant believe a puppy can eliminate that much! : ) When I praise her, I give verbal and physical love, LOTS of it too! I haven't even...
