Mugsy's trek to Indy

[mugsy]

Well Candy, he kind of just usurped the position (which didn't make Tig very happy either) and last night he just about pushed me out of bed trying to get close!! lol Thanks for the compliments.

Congrats on the new addition! I can not wait to see Max's pictures! Is he a purebred or a mix? How old is he?

[mugsy]

He is a purebreed. His age is given at two but that does not seem correct due to his personallity and teeth. Our vet will tell us with more certainty.

I'm so sorry I'm late in congratulating you for your newest addition but I have not been able to log in before. Max sounds wonderful please give him a HUGE hug and kiss from me!
I'm a little bit envious of Liz since I'd love to meet you and your gang too!

Gio,

Just wait till you get to see Max's pictures.
He is a Beautiful example of the breed! Very
Good looking doggie & a sweetie as well. One
funny thing that happened while we were at the pick up window at Dairy Queen, the teen aged boy
taking the cash & handing Mugsy the order, was a
bit reluctant to put his hand close to the van
window b/c Tigger & Sox were watching very
attentively as the package was handed out. The
guy kept saying, Wow, is that a Pit?,etc.It was
kind of funny really b/c Tigger & Sox know very
well what comes out of the drive up window &
were only waiting for their treats.
(None of the dogs barked or growled at the guy,
just looked at him).

[mugsy]

It's true...all of our dogs know exactly what happens in ANY drivethru that we go to...even the credit union gives them treats!! lol I might add that Max squeezed his 50 some pound body between the car door and the seat to get his ice cream and wouldn't let me drive because he ate it in my lap!! lol

Liz, Mike gave Max a bath on Sunday afternoon and he looks soooo good now. He does have a bad habit of play biting, but he is already learning to give "good" kisses. It took him 2 minutes to learn to sit and wait for his treats and to take them nicely out of my hand. He is also the epitome of velcro dog...I was trying to dry my hair this morning and he squeezed in to a space about 6 inches by 6 inches to lay at my feet!! Sheesh...I about killed myself twice trying to move! and also Liz...that kid was a weenie and obviously had had a bad experience with a pit OR buys into the bad hype about the breed.

Gio...if you EVER get to come to the states, you have a standing invitation to come to Indiana and visit us and then we can drive 2 hours south and go see Liz!!

I WILL come to the States and this sounds like and excellent plan! It would be great to get to know Liz and Buddy as well.

[Cincy'sMom]

And Gio, if you want to come about 2 hours east of Mugsy, we would be glad to have you in Toledo too!!!

[lizbud]

Hey Gio & Cincy'sMom,

Do I smell a Midwest Mini Pet Talk Meeting coming up??

It would be a great experience to meet you both.
Liz & Buddy.

[mugsy]

You beat me to it Liz!! I was just going to suggest that!! Maybe we started a trend!! hehe...now, we just have to get Gio across the pond!! Gio, do you have any vacation time coming to you??? hint hint!! lol

I think we should have it in Fort Wayne though because I can't take 14 dogs all at one time! We could have fun making the ignoramus next door crazy!! <eg> Edwina's Secretary could come and visit in-laws too!! AND, we FINALLY have a dog park opening this summer just about 10 minutes from our house and it's in one of the prettiest parks in the city (Mike and I got married on the other side of that park).

[lovemymaltese]

Glad to hear it. Hope that everything works out.

CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW BABY!!!!!

Max sounds like an angel. I am sure he was meant to be in your home.

I am so jealous Molly and Liz got to meet. And Liz got to see Sox!!! I know I'm not supposed to play favorites but when I see pictures of Sox, my heart melts!

kobieeli - I almost fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard at your story

[Gio]

Thanks for the invitations all of you. I will organise a trip as soon as I can manage!

[mugsy]

Geez Gio, I hope you have about a month of vacation coming to you!! Just think you could be here a month and never have to stay in a hotel!! Too bad you can't bring furkids with you. Hurry up and get it planned...I'm excited!!!

[Sudilar]

Count me in on the Midwest meeting, too!
