I just love all of the photos you all were able to post. I had no luck getting Hurley to cooperate for a Valentines photo. Thank you and Happy Valentines everyone!!!

Hi all, Sumo is about 6months now. I have started crate training him from about 2.5 months now. It took about 2 weeks but he was pretty much 95% crate trained until the past week or two? It's so strange, he was doing so well, would go in every night by himself and rarely have any accidents. I'm not sure what happened but recently he will constantly bark if in his crate and now will pee and defecate in his crate?! It's not like we leave him in there for long either, it's literally about 5 min in his crate and we will find either pee or feces.

He has always avoided going UP stairs since we adopted him...but I really chalked it up to being left outside all the time and not having experience with them. Now I know that is a big red flag for hip dysplasia. He has never enjoyed walks...again, chalked it up to bully laziness and whatever he went through in the past. Of course, knowing he would have to be sedated for xrays would have made me wary too...with bullies you always have to be weighing those sedation risks. UGH.

Yes, some of you may have noticed that I quietly skipped posting a survey last night. Well, that's because tomorrow is so special, right? So, here's a little survey to test your "Cupidness". Get ready to pucker up, doggers!!

What's your attitude about Valentine's Day?
I like it. It's an excuse to go out to dinner and to eat choclate.

What do you think women want for Valentine's Day?
A gift that shows that your SigOth thinks about you other than when it's required.

Yesterday we took our first stacked photos of our Little Ladies. Some of the girls were getting ready for a nap and were a bit sleepy--but they did pretty good for a first try!


Here they are in order of size...


Miga has recently passed up Quatchi for the top spot in size--probably due to her slightly longer body. She was the most awake of the bunch so we got some pretty nice photos of her I thought

Happy Valentine's Day! I had to share this Valentine's gift my husband had made for me. He took a picture of the Tuffster, enhanced it and then had it put on canvas. I guess I can't accuse him of not being romantic!!

Here is the original photo

Now here's a photo of the print on canvas.

After the pawparzzi was done with Camilla's Valentine photo shoot the other day...

Camilla didn't think the camera was still handy when...

My wonderful husband surprised me with one of my favorite things....chocolate bon bons

So my plan for today is to sit on the sofa, eat bon bons all day & read BDW



Here's a little wish from Zimmer...sorry for the crappy background but he wasn't very cooperative this morning!!
