Bonzi was in a competition this past weekend and got one leg of his Advanced Rally. The family was proud of him. On the way home, Redbush's family acquired a new family member. She knows, as does the entire family, that he won't take the place of Bonzerelli. He definitely has his own personality. Bonzi hasn't quite decided why Redbush brought him to their household. At times Redbush is sure that Bonzi wishes that she would take him back to his mother, however, seems to be getting more and more accepting, and attached to him as the days go by. Beatle, no, not Beetle is giving the whole family a run for their money. He has more energy than all of Redbush's other dogs put together, and the Redbush family is wondering what they have gotten themselves into! He has already shown Bonzi that he can rip toys away from him, but Redbush is sure that Bonzi won't always let this happen. When he is put in his kennel for bed, he lets everyone know that he is not too happy with this idea. He ends up giving Redbush, without exaggeration about 3-4 hours sleep tops even though she has put a ticking clock by his kennel plus a stuffed toy his size. Mr. Redbush manages to sleep through some of his top- end vocals, but Redbush is can't believe how he can. She is not sure whether his voice resembles Paul, Ringo, or maybe Tiny Tim or Michael Jackson. At any rate, Redbush would prefer the vocals to be daytime rather than the dead of night! She knows that he must miss his litter mates. She hears from the breeder that his brother is vocalizing in his kennel as well, although, apparently his brother does settle after a bit. She unfortunately can't say the same for Beatle. Redbush is lucky enough to have the strong- willed brother! After three nights in a row she hopes that the longing for his blood relatives will subside at least a little, otherwise she may have to make her bed in the garage with Bonzi. She also realizes that maybe some of it is his teething. Beatle on the good side is very affectionate and really loves to wash faces, and cuddle. Redbush can now identify some with the trials and tribulations of new motherhood and is finding that babies can make life interesting! She is wishing everyone a great weekend and a very Happy Easter!

Beatle is adorable! I have to say though, I'm glad he's spending his nights at your house and not mine....:)
Yes, Bag Lady, you got it! He's really a going concern. I hope he settles down soon! Otherwise I think I might become a zombie!
Echo Bag Lady. Beatle is adorable.
Adorable: it's a survival trait, right?
Is Beatle really bigger than that toy?
And congratulations to Bonzi on getting a leg, and on his patience.

Thanks, Leah! He is a pup, so, you know what that means. I'm constantly running after him which is not a good thing, but, at least it gets me outside raking and the other chores that I might otherwise avoid.
Survival is the right word alright, Solarity! Actually the toy and he are about the same size, but, he still packs it around barely being able to keep it off the floor. Bonzi did well on the last few days. It was once again Redbush who screwed up. Just have to shake those nerves because I think taking him is a good thing for his being around all kinds of other dogs.
Oh that face!
He's got the kind of face that demands attention, Hilary! I'll be happy to see a night with full sleep. He's smart enough to know that if he whines for 2 hours straight that I will get up in the middle of the night and let him out only to find out he has just one dribble and the rest is wanting to check out the smells. Grrrr!
