Sweet Pepper

To be fair, I thought I should blog about my own dog.


Pepper is a Cairn Terrier (the same as Toto in the Wizard of Oz) She will be 14 years old on May 3rd. She was easily the wildest puppy I ever had. She was even nicknamed 'Tornado' by my aunt who was visiting from Austria. Of course she has calmed down now at her age, except for when she tore her ACL jumping down the stairs about a year and a half ago. She sleeps quite a bit now, but still loves her dinner, treats, walks, and play dates with Willi. She is definitely 'Mommy's dog' and follows me around whenever I am home.

Here are a few pictures:

Here comes the 'Diesel'!

Meet Diesel. He is Beth and Tim's new puppy, a Great Dane/Black Lab mix. Mostly Great Dane. He weighed 19 pounds when they got him about 6 weeks ago and now he is 50 pounds at only 4 1/2 months!
The name Diesel came from Shaqille O'Neil who is playng for the Phoenix Suns now. Tim says Diesel 'has a lot of torque but not much speed' I think he will have plenty speed with those long legs!
