It's Official - My Baby Boy is now TITLED!!

Lakl · 12-15-2011, 10:53 PM

It's been a rough first 10 months of life for my pup. He's had very weak pasterns, been diagnosed with crippling displaysia, and had his first hip surgery by 6 months of age. We'll be doing the other hip in the next month or so. Recovery has been long and slow where we went through a period of scary, dramatic weight loss and he was just a frail example of a GSD.

So anyways, we've finally got his weight back to a healthy size, and since I know we'll never get to do agility or compete in any real type venue, I decided to enter him in something else. My work decided to hold a Pet Photo Contest!

. There were 5 or 6 categories and we have more than 4,000 employees so there were A LOT of entries, but we did it! Despite all the cute 5-10 lb dressed up cutsie little dog submissions, we took First Place for "Most Sports Minded"! My work is going to publish the photos and send out an official company wide announcement tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to post it here but...

Here he is, ladies and gentleman - my Achilles - MSM!

. I mean seriously, how could anyone NOT vote for this face??

Heehee! It was hard work, and we put in a lot of training for that expression, but it paid off!

I can just hear my grandma right now......as she pinches his cheeks saying....look at this face!..

looking good, make sure he gets his oils - nose looks dry

Adorable!

His nose looks dirty to me, not dry. Has someone been digging in the dirt?
