Thaaaank you! (for the compliments as well as the welcome)

It kind of feels like Buddha is my dog and Riely is the manfolks dog.

They get long a lot better now, but Riely is still a brat to him. Anytime he has a toy she comes by and steals it. Anytime he tries to go to sleep, she grabs a ball and tries to entice him to come play. They chase each other around the recliner chair. Anytime Daddy holds Buddha she gets jealous and sometimes barks at him. Riely will just run full force and knock him over sometimes and now shes getting into the 'humping' phase where she's trying to show her dominance..."I'M the princess of this house!!!"...the thing is...Buddha is a tough little guy and he doesn't really back down, as you would expect from a rapidly growing pit bull boy...they like to bite each others legs and tug on the others ear...but when they start to get too loud for too long, we just say the words 'Do you want to wear the Muzzle?' and they quiet right down....

For the first 2 or 3 weeks we had still not decided on a name for Buddha...at first we sort of named him Ramsey...but it just didn't seem like him....so we always called him 'Little Man' or 'Little Boy'...he responded pretty well to that...I had all sorts of names I liked, but Jason wanted something 'Manly'....saying that we couldn't give him a 'sissy name'....but it was important to me to name him something that isn't a common dog name...so when we take him for playdays at Planet Pooch...5 dogs dont answer when you say his name....so we couldn't agree on ANYTHING....I think we actually jokingly said Buddha once....but we didn't decide on it till he was with us for a couple weeks...and we turned him on his back and was rubbing his big tummy and said 'Buddha Belly'....and it just kinda came from there...

lil boy needs to get a Bordatella shot and a DLHPP shot tomorrow...so I can take him to Puppy Playtime on Sunday morning...(its a 1 hour block, $10...and puppies between 11-24 weeks come to play and socialize)....i need to make sure that he's not a brat like Riely, since he'll be huge and scary to some people as is....Riely is super hyper...she can jump about 6 feet in the air...likes to jump all over people when they come over and bark at other dogs in the pet store...she's a brat....so I want to make sure that he's REALLY socialized...and takes obedience classes....(hopefully starting next month)...and is as non-threatening as possible...
