My Mom thinks I’m the most handsome dog she has ever seen. I’m not arguing.

Playing with Ox

Dexter — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 13:34:57 +0000

My friend Ox came to visit. Ox is a lot older than me and quite grumpy, although Mom says he is sweet. I don’t see it – he bosses me around and growls at me when I try to take MY toys away from him … what’s “sweet” about that? But I love it when Ox comes to play or when we get to take long walks together with our people.

Ox Rocks!

Thats Ox!

Ox and Dexter playing Tag.

Thats all for today

Fetching the newspaper and other jobs

Dexter — Tue, 18 May 2010 09:39:38 +0000

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!

My Grand-Aunt?

Dexter — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 03:46:45 +0000

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.

11 Months old

Dexter — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 00:52:27 +0000

I’m 11 months old today!
Here is a photo of me with Ox (my Rottie friend). You can see how I’ve grown since I was 6 weeks old.

6 weeks old with Ox at Muizenberg Beach.

A few weeks ago at Ox’s pool (almost as big as him now).
