Hello from Florida

LeftyGinger · 09-02-2010, 02:55 PM

Hello Everyone!

Just thought I'd drop in and say hello since I'm new to the board. I have a brother and sister GSD born on New Years day, so they're 9 months old now, Bruno & Bayla. I also have a 9 year old chihuahua who's the boss of the house.
Not my first rendezvous with GSD but first time with two. Husband worked with K9's before & wanted his own, took it upon myself to find one (got two instead) & he ended up overseas so I'm training myself.
It's WONDERFUL watching people shrink away from me when I take them places because I'm all of 5 feet tall; they go everywhere with me.
Eventually want them both protection & tracking trained but for now am still working on basics so we have a lot ahead of us.
Here to learn & support where I can, GREAT to meet you all in advance!

Welcome to the forum ! Is your husband in the military ?

LeftyGinger · 09-02-2010, 03:06 PM

nope, he's a contractor so he has a while yet before he comes home, but he loves his job & I don't mind it so it works out for us.

Welcome! That third picture looks like you woke him from a nap, LOL. Good looking dogs.

Pretty dogs! My mom always wanted a gsd named Bruno- but she picked out a female

crisp · 09-02-2010, 03:14 PM

I have a female, and her name is Clark. My niece loves Clark Griswald so it kind of stuck.....ok, I love Clark Griswald also.

Beautiful dogs and welcome from Texas!

LeftyGinger · 09-02-2010, 03:31 PM

Thanks everyone!
LaRen616, thanks also for the kitchen! It's new construction/open concept, the whole first floor is basically one room which is great with the dogs & we chose laminate flooring that would hide dog hair well. There was definitely a forethought with flooring. (the microwave has since been installed)

Initially the "twins" as I call them were to be named Zeus & Athena because I love greek gods but I loved the names the breeders picked also so I stuck with those. Bayla was the only female out of all 6 pups.
