Equal Time for my other 4 legged love!!

In the last 6 months Miss Kylee has had a lot of time and space in my postings regarding her temperament, surgery for possible cancer, neck torsion and finally her stomach flipping.  All the while her buddy Dozer gets no space, just because he is a sweetie and healthy!!  So time to change that.

HEEERRRREEEES DOZZZZZZZER!!!!

A little over two years ago we had Kylee who was then 2.  She was a sweetie but totally attached to hubby, his puppy, his little girl.  So after some whining on my part I started looking for a dog to call my own.  It took a while, but one day when checking out Craigslist, I found a litter of puppies south of us in Coldwater that were looking for their forever homes.  These were Great Dane/American Bulldog mix babies.  We took a ride down to check them out, and I found most of them with 4 white paws, a white chest and muzzle.  But hubby saw the one with the white hourglass on the back of his neck.  By the time we walked away, I had picked out what then I was going to call Harley!  The pups had to grow another couple weeks.  But I had mine all picked out!  Thats my little guy at 6 weeks old! By the time he came home he was Dozer, the same as brother who stayed with the Birth MOM.  Thanks Amber for giving me such happiness!!

Now I figured out he would stay shorter and thicker with the American Bulldog!  Here is Mom and Dozer the day he came to live with us.  We weren't sure how Kylee was going to welcome Dozer, but all went smoothly.  She played with him with such patience and obviously realized how small he was!

The two dogs began a friendship that grows stronger everyday.  Dozer my little man, grew and grew and grew!  They played and played!  They love tug of war no matter if it is a plastic bat, a rope, a ball, a frisbee!  They race around the yard like they are antelope being chased by a hunter!  Then they both crash and burn!!

Dozer is still my big boy and is now 2 and  he is taller than Kylee by a couple of inches, thinner and has a tongue at least 3' long that licks and licks!  I need to get him a tag my friend makes that says "Can't control my licker!"   So I didn't get my compact and thicker dog.  Our Vet says the only part of Dozer that isn't Great Dane are his shorter ears and a short body length than Kylee.  The rest of him is all Great Dane!

Dozer is calmer, loves everybody and his personality is 1st rate.  Other than a cut in his paw, nothing on the medical side of him either.  He always wants to set in your lap, lay his head on your lap, just be close to you!  He is a favorite with both our grandsons which of course, he styles their hair with his tongue!!  He loves his Dad too and tries to beat Kylee out when it comes to Daddy time!

But most of all he is Mom's Big Boy and we love him. 

Here he is today with his chewie at 125 lbs, 34" at the shoulders, can eat out of the kitchen sink, and take up an entire 7' sofa if he wants.  Such unconditional love he offers every minute of every day!  Mommy loves her Dozer!!
