Took Rubie to my BF's sisters house for a cook-out yesterday. She's really learning how to be around kids, especially little ones. We did take her into the pool a few times but I really wish we had access to one with a shallow end. She seems like she wants to go in on her own but not confident in her ability to swim around, yet.
*forgot this picture. Still locked out while the pool gets tidied:
I was showing the nieces how to draw a Doberman
I think we over did it with agility practice and hiking this weekend. Dingo looked a little sore in the hind legs so we skipped agility class this morning so she could recoup. As much as she wants to do everything at 110% all the time, I need to remember she's still learning to use those muscles! Have other people's dogs gotten sore when learning new things? Is one day on, one day off a good way to go?

She is gorgeous!!
Kind of a 'throw by Thursday' since this was back in Oct of last year. I was going through an SD card of pictures and when I saw this one it really tugged at my heart!
Hubby just came home and was coming out of the barn and stopped to say hello. 
For crying out flipping loud. Does anyone else's male Dobe do this? Oji seems to lack control over the flow of his urine. This is in front of the pet food store today. He always pees on the corner of the brick building out front (I know it's distasteful that I let him do this). This pic, though, shows what often happens on walks. He should be finished peeing but it keeps trickling out as he walks away.
Oh, little Oji.
Oh, little Oji.

Rubie is such a sweet pretty girl! My boy loves kids too and is very careful with them as long as they don't get him riled up. He also loves to swim, I've heard that many Dobes are not good swimmers but with practice mine has seemed to figure out how to best utilize his long leggy body through the water, lol! That being said you don't want to overwhelm them when their confidence is low, definitely recommend teaching her where there is a slope. Whether a lake or the beach would be perfect, just so to where she knows if she's uncertain she can always have the opportunity to touch bottom.
Lol oji! Brinks is pretty lackadaisical about his peeing too, but I don't think to that extent!

Bahahaha. Kaizer just randomly pees on walks. He will like half stop, kinda lift a leg and pee .... Often times in the middle of the sidewalk. The lab will atleast go to grass or a pole, post, etc but if there's no "thing" to pee ON, he spins in circles. So yeah, you're not alone LOL

Oh, yes. We've been to the dog beach plenty of times where she can walk out as far as she wants to. She's much better about it this year than she was last year. When we put her in the pool, one of us always had a hold of her. She seemed happy enough to float around with us
We had to keep hold of her because of the lining of the pool, too. Even well kept nails can damage those liners and I don't want to be known as the fun-ruiner!
I know many of them will do that if there's a lot of territory to mark over and I'm sure there is in front of a pet store. I don't think it's an accident.
Would that what Kaizer does were the only indiscretions Oji perpetrates. I'm fairly okay with peeing on the sidewalk instead of in the grass. I just want Oji to shut off the flow when he starts walking. Sometimes he pees in the backyard grass then comes up onto the back porch and I find there's pee on the back porch. One time, I invited him in the back door of the house after peeing, and he trotted across the house to the front door and I found a trail of pee all the way across the house. I really think Oji has a mental/physical disconnect between the brain and the bladder.
Anyway, not to complain too much and kill the humor of the thing.
Yeah, if there is nothing to lift a leg on, Oji will just pee with all four on the ground; but if there's something to pee on, he hikes it. Same with my past Dobes. I've always thought this showed some smarts.
Albert lifts his leg weather there's anything there or not. I guess he just imagines a nice fire hydrant there.

Do you know how long it took me to realize it was dog drool on the floor when we first got Buddy?!? lol I'd always be telling my husband, "What is spilled on the floor!?"
One day, it finally hit me! DUH
