Meet Maymo, the Dog Who Should Be the Most Ashamed of Himself
http://www.vulture.com/2012/10/dog-shaming-maymo.html?mid=agenda--20121009

Antonio's little puppy Paco isn't such a puppy anymore. I think he's my favorite out of the three, I shouldn't say that because I do love all three of the dogs but Paco is Antonio's first dog.

I'd call him a love bump.

He really is a love bump. He's gained at least 30lbs, he has to have his own bed and away from the other two dogs.

He watches over Antonio and follows him everywhere, never leaves his sight.

This is Antonio's new bedroom, Morgan gave in and got him a flat panal for his bedroom for his computer games, don't tell him I told you, he said you would scold him for it

You're talking to a tech clod.

I murmured early on about not spoiling Antonio and people attempted to put me in line, and of course I'm full of it on that, but also it's something to watch out for - I still don't want Antonio to grow up as a spoiled brat.
Flat panels don't just appear. He's quite young and is blessed with wonderful stuff.

I don't know how to counteract that sense of 'I can have stuff'. Thinking that can be a future mess.


Good! I've got Morgan afeared of me.

Morgs, I love you, but you have to curb this whole thing of providing the very best at every moment. It is no favor to the boy.

Don't trust me, read up on all this.

hhhhuh, wake me in an hour-mmm...

Mac, the day I brought her home from the kennel.

Lovely girl, such a face!

Ever since we moved our dog Frankie has gotten aggressive with the other two dogs. Yesterday he snapped at Mac and bit a whole in her ear, just a small puncher wound but still. He was never like that before. They even have a larger yard to play in. Maybe it’s just the new environment?

How old is Frankie again? And if he's getting up there with age, perhaps a visit to the vets to check out the dog's hearing and sight is in order. This type of aggressiveness sounds like a similar pattern of aggressiveness that accompanies dogs that are losing sight, hearing, and smell which leaves the dog disoriented and confused when other dogs nearby can no longer be easily identified.

I'm hoping that I'm on the wrong path here....

Frankie is almost three years old, I got both of them at the shelter not long after moving here. He’s 100lbs now, Mac is only about 45lbs. Usually they get along fine until another dog happens to be on the other side of the fence then he just goes off and takes it out on one of the other dogs.

I do need to take them back to the Vet for their flea medicine this week.

Here's Frankie.

He's adorable and if that's a recent photo, in the peak of his puppyesque life so you can throw my mere speculation out of the window. It must be another issue then.

That photo is a couple months old. I asked the shelter where the dogs came from before I brought them home. Someone left Mac tied up outside the shelter and Frankie was caught roaming the streets with two other dogs. He was only 60lbs then and they didn’t think he would get any bigger, well he did lol.

I’m thinking it’s the new surroundings, we haven’t been here a month yet. But I do need to take them in for the flea meds and will ask the Vet what he thinks.

I think it's a dog - it could be a juvenile Ewok.

Another Osso special

So wonderful!!!


Pacco was not, absolutely not, a chaser of stuff. I never tried a beach ball, though.

Frankie has been aggressive ever since the guy down the street at the old house use to walk his pit bull down the alley and Frankie went through the fence and got into a fight with him. He doesn’t like any other dog around his surroundings.
