Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Something about Diz in the city that has a strange allure to it, I can't think of a word that really describes the sensation, but it's almost magical, like someone walking a Griffon, or a small piece of sanity in a crazy place, I don't know. Could just be that I'm feeling strange today.
I agree! He should be in those high-end clothing ads you see in the middle of Manhattan. Very elegant and unique.
Ha ha. Well, growing up here has made him very outgoing and social. And pretty much bomb proof. I was so proud of him yesterday, he met a guy in a motorized wheel chair for the first time and was a little nervous when it moved, but otherwise was friendly and curious and even gave the guy a kiss. I'm hoping someday he can be a therapy dog, after the puppy crazies wear off.

I'm just happy he's coordinated enough to carry something and trot at the same time now. he's a wee bit of a goofball. Also, I ordered a wonder walker this morning. he's staying with a friend when we're gone and I figured I needed to get one for him so he doesn't pull the guys arm off or escape.

Aha, that's one of the 4 around Seattle in the pet stores we go to. It's nice, very dark teal.

It was a hard choice between teal and turquoise, I figured teal would look less dirty over time.

It is technically called cryptorchidism, which means he has a retained/undescended testicle. This is one of the few things that completely disqualifies a dog from showing.

Ha ha! My hubby and I have so many stupid jokes about it lol.
Well you know what happens in times square on new years eve? Maybe we'll have a ball drop in our house too.
Every time we catching him licking himself we say, "yeah Diz, its still there... for now."
And one of our favorites, "Dizzy do you wanna ______? Oh, I guess not, you're too busy licking your ball."
Seriously though, he is definitely not lacking in the hormone department, he's been lifting his leg since he was 5 months old.

Poor Diz! Oh, well, maybe they'll charge you half off if/when he's neutered?

Ha! I wish! It's like twice as much because they have to locate the other one somewhere in his abdomen.

He really is awesome in so many ways, I can't complain. He keeps me on my toes and makes me laugh every day, and cry at least once a month (damn teenager).

Dizzy tries to make friends with Martini the cat. I'm not sure wooing is the right strategy...
