Kicker and Co at the River

Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy is 6 months old!

Kicker is 6 months old now. He is neutered, has all his shots, is de-wormed, received heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick prevention. He goes to obedience training once a week and is a very easy going dog.

He is a bit cautious, bordering on skittish when he meets somebody new, be it human, animal, or object, but once he got his guts up to meet "it", it takes him but 2 seconds to come around.

He barks like a hound, but his tail is sooooo loooong, it has got to be that of a Great Dane. I also see shepherd in him, so my guess are these 3 breeds: hound, great dane, german shepherd.

However, there are DNA tests available now that are around 50 Dollars...if I ever have that amount to spare and my curiosity gets the better of me, I will have one done to determine his exact breeds.

Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy is 5 months, 1 week old now

and back in his old pen he grew up in:

Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy is back!!!

Yes, he is back! The people that had adopted him, had a family emergency and have to move back to Alaska. Of course I took him back when they asked me. They took very good care of him.

Kicker is 5 1/2 months old now. Looks like he is mostly Anatolian Shepherd and maybe hound mixed with it. He's tall and skinny! I will have him neutered ASAP.

My other 2 boys, Olliver and Butters, welcomed him back into the pack as if he never left. Even our old Sandy's tail went a million miles an hour!

Kicker, the Movie

I finally had some time to go through all the pictures and movies I made during the 14 weeks we were blessed with Kicker's presence. It condensed to 4:18 minutes. Even though this story has a happy ending, I am still going to miss that lil bugger :):
