Let me introduce you all to Duke.  He is 11 months old (the pic is older obv) and is a fireball to say the least.  I picked him up yesterday from his family that couldn't take care of him anymore.  The guy is going back to school and the family moved into an apartment to be closer to both her job and his school.  We all know how well GSP's and no place to play get along.  So far it has been entertaining to say the least.  Bug and Max don't know what to think about a crazy puppy running around.  They have been pretty tolerant so far though!  After an interesting and somewhat noisy night in his crate I decided that the two of them could in fact put him in his place if they needed to!   I took them out last night to the ball park and let them run around off leash for a while and also this morning before work.  I figure we will have to go out at least twice a day to get that energy level 'down'.  Notice I didn't say out!   Anyway, here he is... I'll get more pictures soon.

Glad Bug and Max are doing so well with Duke.  Congrats on the pup.  Now the fun begins. Can't wait to see more recent pictures.

I briefly looked at a "crate" at the fleamarket this weekend.

"After an interesting and somewhat noisy night in his crate"

Didn't know where I'd put such "A New addition" in this old house. Was going to see if Kal would walk into it.

Congratulations on your new addition...trust me, three is twice as many as two. LOL! I know you'll have fun, and welcome to that wonderful wacky GSPsRuletheFamily grouping.

Take good care!

I snapped these (all but the last one) this morning before I headed to work.  We had been out in the yard playing fetch for about half an hour to try and wear him down a little so he would be a good boy in his crate.  The first three are of Duke.  He has been to obedience school so down and stay helped out a lot in taking these!  I also had to include some updated ones of Ladybug and Maximus. 

I returned home last night to find a sign that read, "James, Duke is at our house -- Cindy and Joe"  It seems my new pup was making sure that my yard was puppy proof.  He did not jump over, as he is not a jumper.  He did, however, knock the board in the fence loose and went through it.  From what I understand, Ladybug followed him out but went back into the yard after a few minutes.  Duke, however, went exploring so my neighbors spent about 20 minutes trying to corral him.  I think some sort of cookies are in order.  However, this is Texas, I might just get him a brisket instead.

You are so brave to add three dogs to your life in a short time. Better watch out, this can be addictive. Ask Ace, Hogan and a few others. I've always told my husband that if anything happens to him I am getting more dogs and a bunch of cats instead of another man.

I love you Pointer fan!!! That is exactly what I always say, no more men, just dogs, hahaha. I am just way to old to train another man, tehe, dogs are easier, sorry guys, but after 5 brothers, 4 sons, 4 grandsons a girlie house would be kinda nice. A permanent down toilet seat, LMAO.

LOL ... I am back in the dating world, and as writer I have a whole article series based on Wachter and my dating experiences. So far the best received article is "Wanted, Man who treats me better (or at least as good as) my dog" The day before we found Wachter some of my friends were playing around with horoscopes and apparently mine read that I will have a man enter my life that will renew my faith in unconditional love.... the next morning we found Wachter

lol on the Watcher horoscope, that is a perfect description! I had someone on another board say something about how much I loved/talked about/etc my dogs and wondered why. I told him it was because dogs love unconditionally and that I generally prefer them to most people. He got a little upset & felt that people love that way, too, but people who love other people unconditionally are a rare breed as far as I've seen. Most of us (& I definitely include myself) just can't live up to that perfect, unconditional love of human beings. Dogs, on the other hand, love us no matter what.
