KayAnn...for sure we have to meet! Graham usually fares very well with calm dogs who don't try to "hump" him. He is dominant but he really loves to play with dogs as long as they are not overly dominent themselves and they don't continue trying to hump him. He also likes smaller dogs (50 # and smaller) better then the larger labbies/goldens...etc. He actually has played great with a bernese mt. dog (120 pounds) and GSD's, rotties, and other large and mellow dogs. It's just the overly active and happy ones (labbies, goldens) that he has little patience for. He's a bit of a grouch sometimes Judging from what you say about Simba's personality, him and Graham sound like a perfect match!

Just let me know when you are going to be in MI next time. My schedule is slowing down somewhat, so I would be more likely to have time to meet

And as for Cassie...she's doing great. She and Ritz are starting to play but she is not very playful herself and Ritz is an absolute wild man She gets grumpy and sick of his puppy antics sometimes, and to escape she simply jumps onto the couch because he is not even close to being big enough to get up onto the couch by himself. Ritz misses Graham more then Cassie does. When I bring Graham over to my moms house to visit, Ritz just licks him and licks him, and follows him and gets all submissive and goes belly up hoping Graham will think he's cute and play with him. Ritz LOVES Graham Cassie could care less about Graham.

Leslie, is Troy near Detroit? I have both sets of grandparents and some aunts, uncles, and cousins in Detroit. I try to make it up there at least once a year. I LOVE Michigan.

I sure hope you will not get sick of more pictures. My husband and I signed a 1 year lease on our apartment because we needed more time to sell his mothers' house and find and buy a house, but we both love the area so much in our new apartment that we don't know if we want a house anytime soon because we may have to give up all this nature! We live on a nice pond, and it is very natural in this area. About a mile away there is a huge state park/nature preserve that is very large (40-50 sq. miles) and I have been spending 2-4 hours there every day because it is so incredibly beautiful and natural. Graham and I are in heaven. Here are a few nice shots of Graham in the lovely park that is called Bald Mountain.

Graham spotted a few deer ahead. He is sure wishing I would let him off the leash and allow him to run after them.



Here is Graham on a marsh trail. I just took this photo yesterday and it had been raining all weekend so the marsh was rather swolen with water. The wood was very slippery and when I walked on it it moved and water gushed out of the cracks wetting my feet. I had to keep Graham off lead incase he saw something around one of the blind corners and decided to chase it, sending me flying into a marsh


This is Graham trying his very hardest to do a Simba Lou Wonduh Mutt impression...what do ya think, KayAnn?

AdoreMyDogs,
Your pictures are beautiful!!Living where
you guys do now would seem like being on
vacation all the time.(Without the packing)
Graham is georgous!!Reminds me of my
daughter's dog in coloring & personality.
One question please; How on earth do you keep
Graham's teeth so white?? I'm serious, Do you
brush them or do anything special??

[Albea]

Graham looks so relaxed and happy in his new home! He's a great, beautiful pup.

[AdoreMyDogs]

Thanks

Lizbud...I brush Graham's teeth daily to every other day. I also carefully scrape his teeth with a nifty tool I bought from www.drsfostersmith.com (I will try to upload the pic of the tool). Graham's quite tolerant and will allow me to scrape his teeth.


Also about once every month or two I give Graham a smaller, raw beef bone to chew on. It really helps clean up those chompers.

Aly, Troy was about 1/2 hour away from Detroit but I moved to a city called Auburn Hills ( I just updated my profile) which is north of Troy (Detroit is south of Troy) so now I am maybe 50-60 or so minutes north of Detroit. Please, anyone that would like to meet, let me know when you are in the Detroit area and I will try my hardest to clear my schedule so I can meet. Graham loves meeting new people and so do I

[KayAnn]

omg!! Leslie, my sister Cathie works in Auburn Hills Mi!!! She works at a place called Jable Circuit!
She drives from Fenton to Auburn Hills everyday!!! I would be very happy if we could introduce SimMutt and GrahamPooch!
I bet they would get along just great. They both seem to have the same loving personalities, i think i would be more exicited meeting Graham then Simba would!! and of course if we do go to MI this summer, ill bring my digital and snap snap snap snap snap snap away!!!! I really hope we can meet, it would be such fun!!!

[Dixieland Dancer]

Great pics!!! I love the sweet Graham boy. And I don't think you can get much better than nature dog pics.

Leslie, I'm not sure when exactly I'm going to Michigan next, but maybe I can arrange it to be when you go KayAnn, and we can meet Jessica too!

[KayAnn]

We could have our own lil pettalk meeting!!!! It would be so much fun! Id love to meet Reece boy!
Jessica, Have you ever been to Ceadar Point?
I went there this summer and had a blast!
Of course we werent thinking good (well we kinda were) but we went on the water rides first thinking we could dry off by the time she got in the truck to go back to MI. Lemme just tell ya i had blisters on my feet because of my shoes were soaked!
