What Up Dog?

Everyone meet Tank.................



This cute faced dog was given to Carter the day after he got home from Africa by my cute mother dearest! Yes, his name is really TANK!!! I talked Carter into naming him this to spare one of our children from inheriting the treterous name!! (NO lie, Carter really liked the name Tank.) Lucky for me, I'm so sly and tricked him into naming his new dog Tank before he could even realize what he was doing! :) I'm not going to lie, he was so DANG cute as a puppy! (He still is cute, but puppies are just so sweet.) My mom picked him up a few hours before Carter came over to see my family and the poor puppy was shaking and nervous so I put him in my shirt and he would just calm right down!! (We bonded right from the start :)

I KNOW he must have a sweet heart in there somewhere, so I'm trying to look past him nipping at my Achilles tendon every time I walk outside (He's just playing and i doesn't really hurt, it just is gets annoying after a while). Also he's not quite catching on to the game of fetch!! Gall, he can do the whole run and get the ball and bring it back, but then it's a struggle to try and fight the ball out of his teeth. I can only imagine what the people across the street are thinking everyday when they see me try to take him on a nice summer stroll........... Seriously I thought that I would buy a leash and we would go for a walk, I had no idea he would try to bite the leach off for 5 hours straight and runs circles around me till I am tangled up in a stupid old navy blue leash.

But after all the fight and hassle, at the end of the day if I don't get to play with him I miss it, so I must really love the dog!! He wants to be a good boy, he just doesn't know how to be yet!! I'll keep you posted on out progress.

This is Cart with his eyes closed waiting for my mom's welcome home gift :)

This is him holding his new tiny Tank

He's licking his chops. Basically his picture is just funny to me.


This is the face he gives me when he's showing me he can be good cause he wants a treat. :)

And about the name Tank... I can sympathize. Trace wants to name our kid Butchasaurusrex Ha ha :-)
