Two weeks ago today, my wife and I had to say goodbye to our eight-year old, male Dobie. Cancer...again. We started rescuing the breed over twenty years ago and have had nine (I think,) and as many as four at a time. All reds and blacks, no fawns or blues.
We also happen to be on the Board of the local Dobie rescue kennel, dobiehaven dot com, and our kennel manager called the next day to express his condolences. I thanked him and asked that he keep an eye out for the type of pup we like and he said, "I have one, and that's the second reason why I'm calling."
I jumped into the truck and headed out there. His kennel name was "Sarge" but we're calling him "Buddy." Unfortunately, he has Heartworm which he shouldn't because they all get prevention but that's another story. He'll be fine in a couple months after the two treatments.
Otherwise, he's as healthy and as big as a bull. <smile> Our slightly older female has been very standoffish but she's quickly coming around. And, Buddy has learned to use the dog door.
So yesterday, while I was out with them, I saw them start to "play" for the first time. Happened to have my phone so I grabbed some footage then came in and put this clip together. It's the first vid at the top.
For the non-dog people, PgDn. <smile>
