Subject: Update on Brutus
|
Hello to you all at Flying W Farms. I have
not updated you in quite a while on our Brutus, son of Neil
III and Gretel, born in February 2008. Brutus is doing
great. He is so sweet and loving and has grown in to quite a
handsome young man. He is not as big as we thought he might
be, but at 170 pounds he is quite impressive. He draws so much
attention everywhere he goes. The most frequent comment we
hear is "that is not a dog, thats a horse!" Even driving down
the road, when we stop at traffic lights people want to take
pictures of him. We take him out and socialize him as often
as possible, and he loves playing with other dogs and
children. As big as he is, he is so gentle with smaller dogs
and children. He likes most everyone he meets, but on a rare
occasion someone will come along that he does not like for
some reason and he will give a warning bark to stay away, and
we pretty much trust his judgment. For him not to like
someone there has to be a reason and it does not happen
often. We have a pond on our property and he loves to be in
it. He won't go over his head, but he loves to walk around
the edges in neck deep water. His favorite play toy is his
football and soccar ball. He also loves boat rides down the
creek. He has been such a joy to us and we love him very
much. We love him so much that we won't plan any trips away
from home that we can't take him. If we have to go somewhere
that is not dog friendly we won't go for long. People don't
understand why we feel that way, but it is just a commitment
that we made when we decided to get him. We hope to get on
the list and get him a little brother in a couple of years.
And if we get another one we will definitely take the time and
spend the money to fly back to Ohio and get it. I am going to
attach some pictures so that you can see how beautiful he is.
I hope you are all doing well and made it
through the cold winter without any problems.
Brenda

| Just wanted to update you on
our big boy. Brutus is doing really well. We have already had
him in puppy school and he gets lots of attention. I think he
is pushing 70 pounds. He is loosing his baby teeth so his smile
looks kinda funny right now. My daughter who is 19 laughs at me
because when I found one of his teeth on the floor I said that I
was going to put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy!
I just wanted to give you an update and
send a couple of pictures that were taken on 7-3-08. He loves
walking outside with us on our five acres of property and really
likes wading in the pond. He is a very happy boy and has made
us very happy also. I love to see peoples reaction when they
see him and we tell them he is only 5 months old. They are just
in awe at how big he is.
I can't thank you enough for giving us
this opportunity. It has been wonderful!

Subject: Re: MALE FAWN FLORIDA PUPPY PICTURE
I bought a new camera just so that I could
start sending pictures of Brutus. We just finished our second
puppy class today. Brutus did very well but after about 45
minutes he was pooped and the trainer let us watch the rest of the
class. He is so understanding of the dogs and realizes that not
all dogs can go for a whole hour. Also, Brutus is the baby of the
group, most of the others are six months and up and are smaller
breeds so they have more energy. But I was very proud of Brutus.
He is very well behaved with the other dogs and minds his manners
remarkably well for a 3 month old baby.
I hope you like the pictures. He is such a
beauty!
