Happy Birthday Dash!

Hello!
July 4th has come and gone, and although it was rather boring and sunburn filled for us I hope everyone had a wonderful firework-filled day.

It just so happens that our German Shepherd puppy turned 1 on the 4th as well! SOOOO I figured I would introduce you to my puppies.


This is Dash.  



He is a cuddle bug with a pretty scary bark who has recently found a way to break out of the fence in the front yard. Although all he will do is lick you to death, we figured it was probably best to put some sort of "barrier" in our yard to keep him there.

SOOO we went to Home Depot. There is only one on the island, and it just so happens to be on the other side. After a couple hours of exploring, deciding, and buying we finally made it home with some garden fencing and zip ties. We put it up, let the dogs out, and to our amazement it worked...


...for about 12 hours. Then he realized he could bite the corner and pull it off the fence... 
which became a game... which resulted in a lost trip to the Home Depot and a slightly bent fence. 

Sigh.

As most of you know, this is Skipper. 

Skipper is also a cuddle bug, and somehow sneaks his way in between Jamison and I every night with his head at his shoulders and tail-end in my face providing for around 3 feet of lost bed in between the two of us. He loves walks, but cant make it very far. Usually we will make it around 3 blocks before he simply sits and waits until I turn around. 



Then proceeds to play dead around the house for the rest of the day.... like so... 


He also loves chewing on hangers... 

Some people laugh at our little combination of breeds, but I promise Skipper's personality makes up for his little size.
