Raising Dexter - A Rottweiler’s Life

One of my jobs is to fetch the newspaper every morning from outside and bring it inside. I love my job - I get paid every day (in biscuits!).

… and here is Hercules doing his job … sleeping all day!

Some new photos of my older but littler brother …

PS: He doesn’t hate me anymore! We kinda get along

This is my Mom’s Grand Dad’s new pup, Sherrie. Grand Dad rescued her and she now lives with him at his home in Missouri, USA. I’m not sure how she is related to me, just that she is. She loves toys as much as I do so we sent her a bunch of toys as a “welcome to your new home” gift. Sherrie is 4 years old and she is a Cairn Terrier.

Here is a new photo of me!

I’ve been going on walks nearly every day with my friend Helen (the marathon girl)! We walk for about 40 minutes and its far!! I’ve also been for walks in the evening - Mom takes me to a field where we meet up with her friends Claire & Ryan and I get to play with their dogs, Jack & Maggie. I really enjoy that especially when Ryan throws the ball for me - he’s a great ball thrower - I get to run really far to catch it and bring it back, up and down hills. Thats a lot of fun for me. The ball games are my absolute favourite.

I had to go to the bet on Monday - they say I’m overweight
Now Mom is cutting down on my treats. Sigh … I do love my treats so much.

Love & woofs

Today my friend Helen took me for a walk - Helen did the Comrades Marathon last month so she trained very hard for that and is super fit. So it was a really great walk and I was very tired when we got back and slept for hours! Helen says she will take me for more walks now that I am so good on my walks.

Here is a photograph of my “brother” the Cat in one of the places he goes to hide away from me!

I forgot to tell you about my other house-mate. My Mom says he is my Older Brother and because he’s older I have to be respectful and nice (and all I want to do is chase him up a tree or down the passage!). He makes a strange hissing noise that I don’t like if I get to close to him and he does a lot of ordering my Mom around - yelling for food, yelling for water, yelling for attention.

He’s big (although I think I might be a bit bigger than him now) and white and soft and very fluffy. He doesn’t want to play with me, he just watches me or sleeps - all the time. I wish he would come and play, we could have so much fun! Here is his photo - His name is Hercules.
