LOOK AT ME...I GOT ADJUSTED!!!!

What do you think? Colleen sure knows how to make you look at your best!
A few weeks ago my people brought me back to Sue Ann DVM to get adjusted, she said that unlike the last time, when I had only one good leg and three bad ones, this time I had only one bad leg and it felt so gooood to be manipulated and have all my parts adjusted!
We met Shirley and John at the training center and I was very happy to see Helie again, Argon was also there and I got re-acquainted with him, I had not seen him since the day when we both went to our respective homes.
Here I am checking out my brother Argon. I was'n sure right at first....but then that good ol' Triadel sent confirmed that it was indeed my brother!
It was so good to see Argon after so much time, I told him about our brother Cooper and how he could not get away to join us because of "family responsibilities", he's got three kids you know!!!
Helie is in the background with Shirley, she's lucky because she has Argon as guest and they play all day long!

Querva came out for a walk, we said hello and took some pictures of her, she is so gorgeous and such an accomplished dog that it makes us very proud of being related.
I was also very happy to see Colleen again, she will be showing me soon and I love the way she handles me, and how she makes me shine!

Look at Helie....whaooo!!! What a beautiful sister I have!!! She had just taken First Place at the Harrisburg Show, unfortunately the judge did not look at the puppies when they went back in the ring, but with that body and all the work that Shirley does with her, you can bet that she will be noticed soon.
Argon has been staying with Shirley for a while, and was so happy to see his mommy, here he is showing his stuff. All and all it was a wonderful trip, lots of fun seeing all my littermates and their people, and especially getting ADJUSTED...WHAOOO!!!

My First Day of Boot Camp....oops I meant School!

Today, March 25, I took another trip with with mommy and I knew good things were coming my way, as they always do when we go places. As soon as we arrived the aroma in the lawn told me at once that there was a doggie get together in the making!!! Doggies started arriving and I got more and more enthusiastic, puppies, all kind of puppies, black puppies, chocolate puppies. solid colors, mixed colors, big puppies, tiny ones......PUPPY HEAVEN...LET ME IN.....I'M READY TO PLAY!!!!! Well, was I disappointed! You talk about being gypped, It was a boot camp!!!! I was worked within an inch of my life, abused and tricked into doing all kind of silly stuff!!! The upside was that with the torture went the treats, that's the only thing that kept me going...that, and all the compliments I kept getting, every little thing I did had mommy drooling all over me. When boot camp finally finished I got home and I was so pooped that I fell asleep while checking my DOGBOOK page....bummer!!!!

DO I LOOK LIKE I NEED "ADJUSTMENT"?

On March 19 mommy took me for a long ride; we met Shirley and Helie, and I just had barely enough time to sniff my little sister, that we entered a building and I was introduced to Sue Ann DVM, she is the mommy of one of our cousins, or something, Querva WAC, CGC, RA, RN, CD, CDX, CFFIIB, CFFIII..........Whaooo! All those titles can really give a young puppy quite a complex!!!!.......Anyway...Sue Ann looked at me and immediately said I needed to be adjusted !

Does this bod look like it needs adjustment? I must say though....when she touched me, endorphins ran trough my body and it felt so goooood I could have drooled all over the floor!
We took off almost immediately, and as soon as I got into the car I passed out.....ahhh those endorphins can really give you a magic feeling, I don't think I will be offended when we go back to Sue Ann next month!

Hey Coop, Guess What I Did This Week-end!

My people took me to the Lycoming Mall near were we were born, for a fun match. It was practically a Triadel EEE litter reunion, five of our brothers and sisters were there. Here is our sister being shown.

before I knew it she wan her class! Boy was I impressed!

Roxanne took me to the side and started working with me, she thought I was very good looking, and offered to show me; this made my alpha guys breathe such a sigh of relief, they were so happy that they would not have to reveal to the world how inept the are.
Here she is with me while Shirley takes a good look.

Roxanne was really nice with me and kept working me, I can't say that I gave her an easy time, you know how it is, can't just let anybody think that you are putty in their hands!

Hey bro, got news for you, I don't think we are going to stay this size forever.... look at this giant, he's our cousin or something!

Can you believe that this little peep squeak actually let this tea cup alpha lead him around ...and that they took first place?

Here I am in the ring, Shirley is showing Quincy and I'm with Roxanne. Well if this doesn't beat all,,,Quincy, who had been sold as pet, and was a few months away from loosing his jewels....WON!!! I took second,
One more take, here is the judge checking out Quincy, unfortunately I was a bit lame, you know that old WW2 injury..!!!

Here is our cus, I don't remember exactly how he did....

I was tuckered and bored with the whole thing, so I got into a comfortable position and got ready for a nap.
But the day belong to Quincy, he won his class, then he won his group defeating Helium and his sister, and then he won against all the group winners. He lost best in show to a little "snack "of a dachshund that nobody, except the judge, had even noticed he was so low to the ground!!!

Here is the big winner, with Shirley, Roxanne and his owner who's mind was completely blown, especially since she had decided only last Wednesday to bring him up and ask Shirley if he had "The right Stuff"
Final poses for Shirley's album, Quincy....

...and me!!!

The Dobie Brothers Latest GetTogether

My people were going to NJ to celebrate Marisa's 6th Birthday, so I decided to tag along and visit with my bro. We always enjoy getting together and seeing if we can finally settle who is Alpha. Here is Marisa giving us one of her gorgeous smiles!

Here she is blowing the candles....

..finally I can do some serious playing with Cooper!

We were ready to go out on the town but nobody would open the door...darn!

Since a romp on the town was out of the question, we went back to the living room and continued our power struggle play.

I was so tuckered when we finally got home that I passed out on my Alpha male's lap! I know I don't look very dignified, but my people think it's funny.....no accounting for their sense of humor!
Ahh! Nothing like having the whole chair for myself!

Now that I'm well rested....and lokking mighty good I must add....

....I look back on the week-end and I must admit "I miss that little brther of mine"!
Well, I"ll sit in the sun for a while and enjoy looking good!

My first bath...yuuuk, they made me smell like a sissy!

All I did was shred the label on my cushion!......

Next to napping with my people, I love laying in the sun.

What do you think, Cary Grant? Clark Gable? I got that look, don't I?

I am so handsome that when my furry less sister saw me, she melted remembering how she grew up with dobermans and how they are the best breed in the world. The kids were in love with me...even her husband was drooling over me, I conquered them all with my looks!
The best part of the story is that when they heard that my brother was available we rushed to

Shirley's my breeder, here she is with me, and ...

they could not resist my brother Turquoise, who ran right to them and conquered them with his good looks. Here we are, I have the brown collar, turquoise is on my right, and Helium my sister, is behind me.

Here is Turquoise strutting his stuff and conquering the Radics family....

Turquoise, now Cooper, napping with Marisa
