Just in case you might be wondering what side of the earth I might have dove off.... (knew it was <span style="font-weight: bold;">FLAT</span>, didn't ya) Well I took a long walk off the Puppy Pier back August '06. The better part of which time has been spent 'puppy training' or better said, "Just plain enjoyin' my dog!"</span><br /><br /><span class="bodytext">Now I can not say for certain which of these fellows is our dog "Digger", but if I was guessin' I'd say it is the fellow to the far right. Now this photo was taken some where round the 6-8 week mark by Frank at <a href="http://www.southsidedogs.com/">Southside</a> Stables, who is the breeder of some fine animals. Brooke & I both would give him a <span style="font-weight: bold;">4 star rating</span> for top quality dogs & service. I've include a link to his web site at South Side Dogs above if you care to visit or are interested in a dog. Though we receive no renumeration, I'd appreciate it if you told 'em we recommended you, as one good turn deserves another! </span><br /><br /><span class="bodytext">Now mind you, Digger's a Vizsla Pup going on 7 months old, a wee bit bigger and few pound heavier now (about 55 lbs <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">heavier!</span>) So some what like kids, "<span style="font-style: italic;">boy do they grow up fast</span>." Now our 60 lb wonder - wonders why he can be a "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Lap Dog</span>"? You'd have to have the lap of the Jolly Green Giant to accommodate him. Not the breed for someone who likes 'small dogs'.</span><br /><br /><span class="bodytext">As the nursery rhyme goes '<span style="font-style: italic;">give your dog a bone</span>', well this 'pup' will work through one in few short hours! As for 'this old man' today (Tuesday) was year 39 for T.S.O.E. (You figure it out)</span><br /><br /><span class="bodytext">So I'll get my weary bones to bed, and say good nite. Will post a more current photo of the dog later this week, if I can "Catch a Good Pose". Till then, Regards.</span><br /></div>Scott Holtzmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14588128744203671494noreply@blogger.com3
