When she gets excited she tends to mouth your hand. When in her crate and another dog walks by she will bark at them but out of crate is fine. She is house broke, listens good and wants to please.
Not sure about cats.”

Diamond – Rescue (Adopted)

Diamond - Rescue (Adopted)

DIAMOND is 5 years old, house trained, and loves to play ball. She will get the ball, bring it and drop it. Then the little sweetheart backs up and waits for someone to toss it. Repeat above until you drop.

This little princess also loves to go after the hose water and will go directly to the hose in hopes of playing catch the water, get soaking wet and shake it over her Doberparents.

Diamond is spayed and up to date on her shots. She would like to be an only dog so she can get all the attention, but will consider going to a home that has a Dobie-sized male dog. I don’t know how she is with cats.

Luna’s One Year Anniversary

Today is Luna’s one-year anniversary in Fort Doberdale. And what did she get as a surprise? A nice big needle on her backside! Eegads! How unpleasant. But she had to get her vaccination for rabies today. She is now good to go for three years. In 2011, she’ have to get another one, unless the law is changed by then.

No thanks…don’t like this place…let’s go home! Down this hallway? The door where vaccines come from

The lady who came out of that door and gave Luna her vaccine was very upset. Luna was scared of her from the get go. After the vaccine, the woman said good-bye, but turned around and she squatted down and said, “Dogs aren’t afraid of me.” Well, Luna was, and she wanted no part of anyone in that joint. She just wanted to go home. So I told the lady a man had scared her before she came out, (by walking by and making a noise), and that is why Luna was scared. So we went home and when we got in the truck, Luna used the ol’ Raspberry to release some steam. At home Luna couldn’t wait to get outside to chase a few lizards!

Pthhhhhhhh…

Happy one-year anniversary, Luna.
(She’s getting treats, too.)

Good-bye Pine Tree and Bench

Today, there was a knock on my door and two tree men said they would take down the pine tree I have in my back yard which was hit by lightning a few months ago and had deteriorated from then very quickly. Earlier, bugs had gone into it, and taken what little life was left in it. So due to the excellent price they estimated for the job, I said, “OK.”

This tree was struck by lightning 0009612-mybenchgotsmashed-07-30-08.JPG

The first thing they did was put a ladder up against the huge tree. The next thing was to cut those branches off. While cutting off those branches, one fell into my nice ol’ bench and smashed it good. So not only did I lose my pine tree today, but also my nice ol’ bench. OK, and a few or so nice big pavers. Eegads! But the price was good to do the tree, and due to the quick loss of life in that tree, I was always nervous about when a branch may fall off and hit one of us. Not to mention that it IS hurricane season. Yikes!

This is Danny. He is the one who took the tree down, while Lee went ahead and did clean up and hauling some of the branches out. My front yard is full of branches and tree trunk due to I have to wait till week two in August for bulk trash. I can’t move the stuff into my swale until then. These guys are going to come back then to haul it all out there for me then. They are.

Something’s missing here! Tell the world!  Our tree is gone!

After the tree take down was over, the FDSP was let loose. They noticed something was awry. First Baby ran to the stump and sniffed it till she sneezed. Lilian was exactly irate as Raven. Meanwhile, Taylor needed to let off some steam by telling everyone what happened. She was going forth to find her tree.

Taylor and her comfort ball

When that didn’t work, well, instead of comfort food, she has a comfort toy. She grabbed her lovely white ball and squeezed it enough to make it squeak squeak squeak! That made her happy and not irate anymore.

Meanwhile, we are very fine about losing this tree on one hand because it was smack dab in the middle of the yard and obstructed the view from here to there and back again. On the other hand, this was our shampoo station, and now I feel I need to rearrange quite a bit to get straight with a new set up.

By the way, what does “True-dat,” mean?
