Espy displays most of the traits, except for the nipping.

Dad learned something new

The  owner of an American Stafford-shire Terrier pup informed Dad that according to the book he had read that puppies were suppose to alternate which one dominated when playing.

This was news to both Dad and me, we both thought that Alpha was Alpha until proved otherwise.  Now we know that when Dad play with me or commands me I only have to obey half the time.

Three Bouv's at the dog park

I am in the pool with my half-sister (Reagan) and half-brother (Benson).  Reagan is the brindle near the edge, Benson is the black in the shallow water.

We are at the Nassau Humane Society Dog Park.

Met author of "Lessons From Rocky"

I met Bradford and Pamela Miller, authors of "Lessons From Rocky" and "Pawprints on the Heart" Sunday while Dad and Mom were at the Green Turtle Tavern.

"Lessons from Rocky" focuses on the special relationship that exists between dogs, their owners, and others whose lives they touch. For seventeen years, Bradford and Pamela Miller enjoyed and reveled in the company of their beloved Rocky, a mixed breed terrier full of unconditional love, unsurpassed joie de vivre, and a personality all his own. But as he grew older, his habits changed and he began to slow down as we all do, forcing the Millers to contemplate the unthinkable: a life without Rocky. Contemplating his final days and experiencing them are two vastly different things, however, and the thoughts, musings, and chapters that were to make up this book went out the window the day he left. What replaced them is the book you now hold in your hands. Our pets are a wonderful reminder of the power and pure joy in unconditional love, a gift they give effortlessly and often with wild abandon. On a deeper level, this gift can teach us so much more, such as lessons on loyalty, patience, courage, curiosity, living in the moment, happiness, the gift of listening, and friendship to name just a few. This was never truer than in Rocky’s case, where his spirit provided his owners with a wealth of understanding they never anticipated.

Sunday Evening Downtown

This evening I met Nicholas, Luke and Dawson, they are visiting Fernandina Beach from Georgia.

Welcome, Nicholas, Luke and Dawson, it was nice meeting you.

Rare Night Time Walk Downtown

Dad had to go to the island last night so Gunner & I gave him the over-my-dead-body routine and he agreed to take us.

While walking past Island Time we met  Lindsey and Laura and their friends.  They wanted to know all about me and when Dad told them about the  blog they jumped at the chance to get their picture take with handsome guy like me.
