Happy Birthday Peete!!!!

My favorite Doberman, Peete, turns 3 today!!

When No One is Looking...

Ginger really does love her new brother even if she abuses him in public.

Little Edie Takes on Peete

In typical fashion....the little dog thinks they can take on the big dog.....

Peete & I Play Ball

Here's Peete and I playing ball. He loves to play ball. He's so patient and so gentle. I'm trying to teach him to catch. Sometimes he gets it, unfortunately.......not in this video!

Frosty The Snowman.....

I know it's one of the hottest days of the year so I thought I'd give you something cool to think about. A couple of Christmas' ago Joe bought Frank a Frosty the Snowman doll that lights up, shakes and sings. He thought Frank would love it but knew he would want to rip the thing to shreds like he did with all his stuffed animals. Nope. Not this stuffed animal. Frank was scared of it. The minute it went on he would turn around and walk away with his head down.

Frosty was put away and forgotten until he was found during the move. We decided to try it on Peete and lo and behold.....the complete opposite reaction. Peete is fascinated with Frosty. It's hours of fun for him. The other day Joe said he turned it on by himself (you have to squeeze Frosty's foot to get him going). Here's a little video of Peete and Frosty......

The Big Reveal!!

Weeks have gone by. The stitches are out. The tape is gone. The cones are gone. The daily ritual of cleaning and applying powder is over. And now.....as promised.....here is the new and improved Peete with his grown-up Doberman ears. Isn't he the most handsome boy??

Extreme Makeover....Doberman Edition

Peete has graduated from his 'training tape' ears to his 'cone' ears. Only a few weeks left until the big reveal!!!

Seeing Doberman Double

There's another Doberman in town. "Whaaaaat" you say? Yes, but don't worry. We didn't run out and get another Doberman. This Doberman belongs to our friend, Josue. His name is Tino and he's about a year and a half. Peete and Tino are friends and they are so cute together. We took the Dobermans and Little Edie for a walk and they had a great time. Little Edie looked like she had her two big bodyguards protecting her.

Here's a little video I shot of our adventure....

My Milkshake Brings All The Boys To The Yard

Here's Ginger sporting her halter top and daisy dukes at her Memorial Day BBQ.

Peete was there too and he was such a good boy. His ears are healing really well, don't you think?

And this is Peaches. Peaches is an adorable one year old cockapoo. She belongs to our friend Victoria.

And.....finally......no party would be complete without Little Edie. Here's a video of Peaches, Ginger and Little Edie having fun.....

For Peete's Sake....

I know you've all been dying for an update on Peete. Yes. P-E-E-T-E. The spelling of his name has been changed. He's special and his name needs to have special spelling. Here's a picture of Peete chillin at the Coffee Bean. Peete went in for a little nip/tuck last week hence the bandages on his ears. He's being a very good boy and sitting still for his nanny Wanda to clean his ears every day. Every week he goes in to get checked and get new tape. Once he's done he will have perfect Doberman ears to go with his perfect Doberman tail. I wonder if his ears will be like Frank's and the tips will touch.......

Peete and Ginger are doing very well together. We had another trainer come to the house and everyone is following his advice. As long as we are all on the same page and the training is consistent it will help Peete and Ginger learn how to co-exist. Ginger is being very good with her new brother. She still has her snippy moments but we know how to correct the behavior now.

Little Edie has also met her new cousin Peete and they really love each other. Peete is so lucky. He has two little girls to play with and to watch over. He's the new leader of the pack. Here's a video of them all after a long bonding pack walk. Peete is all legs and big heavy paws. I'm trying to teach him to play gentle with the little girls.....
