Meet Griz

Griz short for Grizzly, as have been all of Chad’s dogs since Bear (short for Lady Polar Bear). As anyone that has know us closely knows Bear was Chad’s best bud and it was VERY hard on us (especially Chad) when we lost her last year. So we have gone a few dogs over the past two years since we lost Kodie (Kodiak Baear) and Alexis (Princess Alexis) my cat that I had for 16 years. I think that we have a keeper. So these are the pictures of just after we got her I will post more of her again, I’m trying to go in chronological order :). We got her on Saturday September 27, 2008 .

She is a very smart puppy, she has learned very quickly just about everything that we have tried to teach her except potty training. If anyone has any ideas let me know I could use it at this point. Chad doesn’t want to be the bad guy it’s working for him but she runs when she sees me, well at least when she has done something she shouldn’t have. Oh she also likes to chew on shoes… doesn’t that figure, my two top peeves!! She’s almost got down the no shoes… so I really hope that the potty training is coming quickly!!... I thought that it’s only supposed to take 10 days and we’ve been at this for 21 now, as of today. I have faith that we’re almost there, I hope since she’s not a boy like the last 3 that we had issues with. Oh and Wicket got a new home for those that were wondering.

The First picture is Bear I thought after writing this all out we needed a “cameo” of her, she is after all who every dog that we have is judged against. (I also thought I would add our longest pet family members)

I hope the potty training comes along quickly. I know it is not fun with kids I can't even imagine trying with a dog. :) Oh and I like your new blog look - definitely gets me ready for Halloween.
