Doin' her little East Coast thang!!!
So this time I come to you from the home Mindy Grady and of our future puppy...that's right, puppy. Most of you have already heard that Chris and I are getting a dog. More specifically a Dogo Argentino. These are the most amazing dogs!! We just got here last night and were around the mothers long enough to feed them and take them outside and already the are completely comfortable with us. They don't bark when we come in the room and the fight us when we try to put them back. The oldest, Bellah, who is 5 years old is constantly jumping up on me wanting me to just give her as much attention as possible. They love for us to just hug them around there necks and they put their chins on our shoulders as we pet them. They are completely comfortable with us doing whatever with the puppies. Pretty awesome from two 80 lbs horses that "look so mean"!! We are so excited to get our little "Bai Li" (pronounced BUY-LEE) which means "White Beauty". We will be able to bring her home in another month. We don't know which one she is yet since they are only 4 weeks old. Because they are so young their personalities are just now coming out...they bullies and the barkers are starting to show themselves. Also, we have to wait until Mindy is able to take them to Michigan to get their hearing tests. Dogos, like most white animals, are more likely to suffer from deafness. In fact there was one puppy who slept all through their feeding today, and we wonder is it isn't deaf...he was in a cage with 12 other puppies and a giant bowl of food and never moved a muscle. I thought it might even be dead!!
I will try to get some pictures up here eventually...can't yet since I'm not on my own computer, but hopefully we will be Internet again, although hard to tell how long that will be. It does no good to have Internet if you don't have money to pay you electric bill!!!
Mindy also has an African Survel. Google it...they are awesome!! He doesn't like any one but Mindy though, he just hisses at us. So Mom keep your distance!!
Check out Mindy's website for the Dogos. The mother of our puppy will more than likely be Bellah (I say that because her daughter Jazzlin also just had 3 puppies) and the father is Fabulous. Jazzlin was #3 national Dogo Champ in 2006, and Fabulous was #1 national Dogo Champ in 2007. Absolutely beautiful dogs. The pictures do them absolutely no justice.
