Adopted September 28, 2008
From The Internet Miniature Pinscher Service


           

I'm not too trusting of strangers and things around me seem pretty scary
but my foster mom Bonnie taught me a few things and boosted my confidence.

I ran from Linda & Jimmy when I first met them but
now after being adopted, I have a good feeling
this is will be my forever home.

My new parents recently lost their adopted 12 year old min pin
SPIKE to cancer so I'm glad I can bring   joy and love to their lives.

The second day of my new home experience ended up being exciting around sunset.
My Mom went to the car to get something out of the trunk and I followed her out the front door.
I looked around and saw un-explored territory and was not tethered to a leash.
I was off in a flash and so was Mom and Dad running franticly to find my leash and get the car to try
and catch me.  I got to run flat out and show my true speed darting from house to house, back and forth
across streets peeing and pooping in short bursts which is my way of dropping bread crumbs so I would
be able to find my way home again.  I got pretty far away and they tried to catch me but there's no way they could
until I got tired and ended up getting cornered in a fenced driveway and since it was starting to get dark I decided to let
them put my leash on. I could tell Mom and Dad were exhausted, mad, and relieved all at the same time. 
They now have signs on all of  the exterior doors  to remind themselves how quick I really am!

   
Strike A Pose,  How's This?

  
A little landscaping is in order
and I can't explain why I have to kick up debris all the time.
Maybe to show I'm The Big Dog !

  Wow, new neighbors!

Yup, This Place Is Alright...

I know this coat mom made me out of old
jeans is a work in progress

Three months at my new home and it's going great...  I'm slowly learning how to "walk" better on a leash instead of running but I do like to run.  In fact,  when the patio door opens I resemble a thoroughbred  leaving the gate at Church Hill Downs.  Actually I don't consider it running if my body is in the air more than on the ground.

I still find it necessary to keep marking my new home even though I think it's wrong.
Mom and Dad seem to think I will someday come when called but us Min Pins have our own agenda!

   
One of the draw backs of playing in the mud!

               
      Christmas in my new home with my new family 2008 tomorrow                         Gotta practice ya know!

Hey It's Christmas 2008

Visited my little cousin Cosmo on Dec 26th in Easton MD
I'm bigger than him but I had to respect his turf.
I was trying to be nice to Buddy the cat but once he ran, he was fair game!
Although I still bark at strangers in my own house I don't at other people's.

Happy New Year 2009

              

          
I can handle snow but the ice we got 1/28 was a real drag and slowed me down to the max...
My nice Daddy shoveled paths in the yard for me to make it to my favorite spots!

I   Love  My Yard !

      
   
March 1st '09 came in like a lion.  The snow was up to my neck and was NOT any fun...
Once again my Daddy shoveled paths to my favorite spots because I was having trouble getting through it.
Man, I'm sure a spoiled little doggie aren't I !!!
          

Dad made me some agility jumps so since it was nasty outside we did some training
in the living room.  Such an easy way to get a treat!
   

What a difference a week makes. All of the snow has melted, it's in the 70's and it's time to check out the compost pile since Mom and Dad are working in the yard.
Man there are some nice smells in here.  I'm so exhausted !
       
It's been  6 months at my new home and I have full run of the kitchen when left alone. There's a gate up to keep me from the rest of the house although I can jump it with ease but I don't. 
I know it's getting old with Mom & Dad but I just gotta keep marking inside the house !

Did I Mention That I Love Lettuce?

My cousin Cosmo came to visit Saturday 4/18/09

Almost the end of April, temperature hit 80's and I'm waiting for the AC !


Gosh, I just love my yard soooo much !

Well  it's been 9 months at my new home and now June 6, 2009, my Mom & Dad spring another dog on me.
Sadie, I  hear is a foster dog and SHE is going to be a challange for me to whip into shape.
I'm trying to be a gentleman,  but I think she's taking advantage of my good nature.

      
We'll see how it goes but I think it's time to show her who was here first!

Well, that didn't take too long...  Today June 27th, Sadie is going to her new forever home.
I know she will be happy because they are a wonderful family and she loved them at first sight!
So maybe I might miss her a little   but I met Rocco yesterday a male min pin who's
bigger than me who will be another foster dog this afternoon...

Rocco arrived about two hours after Sadie left...
Man is he a bigger boy than me.  He's longer and about five pounds heavier.
I'm a little scared of him comparred to tiny Sadie but time will tell!

Rocco The Big Guy

Wow, 5 days and I was just starting to get to know him and
he was adopted today July 2, 2009
He went to a really nice home with the greatest family he could ever ask for!

Man, what's going on here?  It's July 10th,  just barely a week after Rocco left now  another dog shows up!
Jack is about 4 months older than me but at least he's more my size.
Guess I'll have to give him the grand tour also and see how long he stays...
       

Hey, That's enough pictures of the other dog!

Jack just seems to be everywhere I go...

Today July 24, 2009  &   JACK  has oficially been adopted
by my Mom & Dad !  YEAH !!!!!!

Today is their late min pin Spike's Birthday.  He would have been 13 so they thought
it would be nice to adopt Jack today...

11 months at my new home and I'm enjoying every minute of it
~ Loving The Great Outdoors..Kicking Mulch In The Air ~
Running At Top Speed ~ Investigating With My Best Bud Jack!

Jack's been here a little over three weeks and it's kind of neat having someone to play with.
Trouble is he ALWAYS wants to play from morning to night.  Guess he is "the hyper dog

       
The lazy days of summer are getting close to ending, how sad!

Never tire of posing or resting!

Won't be long before the coats will be hanging up...

Well, It's September 28th, 2009.....  Today marks one year at my new home.
I've settled in quite nicely and couldn't be happier here.  I still have the need to mark in the house although not nearly as much as when I first arrived.
Jack's been here a few months now and I am starting to get used to his hyper presence.   He will no doubt settle in with more time
here since I was just as much a maniac in the beginning as well. 

October 10th and my Dad spotted a few dozen holes in the backyard that maybe I had a paw in digging.
I know Jack is the guilty dog with most of them but until we get caught in the act, we're off the hook!

Catch me if you can!

My nice Daddy made Jack & me a new food & water bowl holder!

November 8, 2009  Jack and I were let outside this morning at 5am and there was a rabbit outside that picked the wrong yard to visit.  We chased him down like pack animals and caught it.  Dad & Mom wouldn't let us eat it but at least we got credit for the kill...  Rabbits are quick but Min Pins are quicker!!

A typical Sunday Morning!

November 29th 2009.
My Dad took his photo stuff out of the closet this morning
and decided to practice...
   

December 5th the first winter snow fall...  I love it, Jack doesn't!
  

Why do humans think we care about dressing up?

Well, here we go again with the snow...
December 19, 2009  We got almost 20 inches and "this" snow was no fun at all to play in!

Christmas 2009
          

We all took a road trip to Easton Maryland to visit Mommy's sister Sharon.
This was my second time there so it wasn't much of a surprise.
I did however slip out of my harness outside and since it was wide open my Dad freaked out.
I didn't go far since I know who my peeps are now.
I also scored an open bag of Cosmo's dog food and scarfed a bunch of it before I was caught...

    Loved the big low windows 

HAPPY  NEW  YEAR   2010

Well, I'm pretty much ready for winter to be over.. 
A forcasted small dusting of snow for Jan 30th 2010 turned out to be 8 inches...
My dad likes the fact that it was a dry snow being so cold out so he used a blower to clear paths in the backyard instead of having to shovel...    Not that I really have a problem getting wet!

  
      

Here we go again...  Last night Feb. 2nd,  another 4 inches of snow.  This time it was wet and my dad had to shovel the path again and I think he's had it with this crap.   Problem is the Friday night & Saturday   forecast is for another major snow storm of 12-24 inches !!!

The snow storm Feb 5th & 6th  Friday night into Saturday all day was just about enough to deal with.
As bad as it was Mommy & Daddy still shoveled paths in the yard for us spoiled little dogs.
It's a drag especially not being able to see anything but snow walls. Just a little over 27 inches!!!
