Well it wasn’t feeling much like fall to me since it still gets in the 90’s down here, but our FamilyDobes Reunion sponsored by Lisa and Habib Nasrullah in Denver finally did the trick for me. We enjoyed great weather with sleet, hail, cold, wind, rain, even some sunshine to mix it up. Everyone was feeling terrible about the weather and it is one of the things I enjoyed most of all! We had a great time getting together with our Denver area dogs some now fully grown, and others starting out. We worked on some Search and Rescue theory and training, some Schutzhund training and some problem solving. I hope everyone who came had as great a time as I did, I only wish it could have lasted longer. I did try to buy back four of the boys J I can’t believe how much Zenny’s traits come through in his offspring. But a great time was had by all. We will be getting some pictures to share a bit later, but what a great time it was! We decided we will make it an annual event! We hope to be able to have more of them in other area as well. We are thinking Anaheim area in the near future too so the kids can enjoy Disneyland one more time J

I will be in Tampa Florida for just a few days in the first part of November if anyone down that way can get together!

I also have to make a trip down to LA area again the first part of next week if anyone wants to meet up.

Well we wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a happy Halloween filled with my usual cautions… Candy can be harmful to your dogs, as can the wrappers etc. Many people do mean things on Halloween, keep your pets close. Remember if you dress your Dog up for Halloween you have to share a picture, but keep in mind the dog may hold it against you J Glow sticks and other things of that nature can also be toxic, but pumpkin seeds are a great natural dewormer so don’t worry about them J Perhaps we should have a Doberman Pumpkin contest with all of the group? Anyone interested submit your entry by email and we will put them up on the website to be voted on.

Also Daniel in PA has some great video of his Texa X Uragan pup “Ike” eating a motion sensor witch J Watch for it on youtube! Videos like that are fun to share so make some!
