  • Our resolve lasted all of one month. Say hello to Cassie, a bouvier:
    48359178_10155568859466650_6558592297112436736_n.jpg
    This was taken when she was 8 weeks old. She's now just a couple of inches shorter than Apollo, and when done growing will be at least twice as heavy as him.
    Karma hit Apollo hard. Cassie is pretty much the same pain in the ass as he was with Star. He was certainly skittish around her the first couple of days:

    But he has learned to live with her being up in his business all the time:

    There are some days, however, that he can't hide his feelings about her:

    Anyways, we've been pretty busy with training these past couple of months, and we are finally seeing the fruits of it. She's a very smart and inquisitive dog. Apollo can usually get the best of her in their daily wrestling matches. But it'll be interesting to see what happens when she towers over him.

    For those of you who are interested, bouviers have an interesting history. Bred as working and herding dogs, they were nearly decimated during WWI because so many were killed in the line of duty. A lot of them were put to use hauling carts of supplies.

    Edit: dammit. At least 3 of 4 pics uploaded right side up.

      • Welcome to the new addition

        Is Apollo a mini schnauzer?
        He looks a lot like my Otis.

        I may be small, but I'm slow.

        A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

          No, he's a Wheaton Terrier. Coming up on 5 years old.

          • Five months later, bigger and heavier than Apollo:

            4FDF84D0-A6D3-40F9-BFE8-BF708DFBE056.jpg

            She’s still a puppy, and unfortunately for Apollo she has a ton of energy. She’s still got at least 40 more pounds to go...

                • Reading through this, I kept saying ‘no way would I do the same’. But then I watched the video at the end, and I wasn’t so sure:

                        Never in a million years would I do that. But then again, I would never own a dog.

                          What?!? That’s a wonderful story with a great ending.

                            That video was cool. Glad they found him.
