About 6 or 7 years ago, i had the pleasure of staying at the Martello's house
overnight. It is then i learned about the true charm of the BOSS. This dog's
tempermant and personality overwhelm you. I still remember the US Grand Victor
being tied to the door handle for some very good reason i can't remember and as
i walked by him, the BOSS looking at me and saying thru those jet black eyes of
his, "don't tell anyone this, but i'm still the MAN". Carolyn and Frank, you
are lucky to be owned by him and we are lucky to be in his world.
Congratulations on his 12th birthday!!! Boss is the John Wayne of GSD's.

BOSS officially turns 12 years old today.....which means of course he begins
his journey
into his 13th year starting tomorrow. It's just another day in time, and yet it
is another
check mark on a very special journey we began 12 years ago with this remarkable
dog.
Obviously he is not the same dog he was.....he has lived a full life and still
does. His big
problem now is not age.....as he is in great shape and has very few gray hairs
on his nose.
His problem in life is his struggle with Lymes and Erlichia and the damage it
has wrought
on his joints. He still is in love with life, loves company, loves the girls
and loves puppies.
He still remembers everyone once they've been here.......he still insists they
greet HIM and
he still announces everyone's arrival with some thorough barking.
He has lost some of his hearing. Food and people and girl dogs and kids and
puppies
are still some of his favorite things...and having his toys spread all around
the family
room or on the lawn. He still loves to threaten his sons BOOKER and CASH.....
His son BOOKER became a Veteran Dog on the 10th of this month, as he is now 7
yrs.
old. No one has told him though......he still thinks he's 4 yrs. old. and is
still begging
for us to buy him sheep for his Birthday and periodically taking out cyclone
fencing
over a bitch in season.........sigh......
All in all......a poignant week for us as we realize that time is rapidly
marching on.
We love our old doggie so much .......and his now veteran son.....and the
kid...CASH.
Oh how I wish for a lot more time......... as we mark how time continues to
rush by.
