Chance is the name of my new dog. No, I did not give him that name, his original owners did. But it turns out to be a great name. You see I adopted him from Illinois Doberman Rescue and I had adopted a Doberman from them about two years ago and I returned him to IDR, and their policies are pretty strict so they drop you from the approved list when you return a dog after the two week probation period. I did not know I had been dropped until I expressed interest in Chance only to be told I was not on the approved list any longer.
While I do understand rules I did not fully agree with them and in a very kind manner asked them to reconsider my qualifications. They did and decided to give me a second chance, now with Chance.
He is pretty cool. He is a blue dobe. His color is actually a silver-blue with the normal tan markings of a dobe. He is one and a half years old. He is very gentle and listens well. He is not as hyper as Baron my other dobe was. He is a big boy at about 70lbs. He is really good in the house and outside. I hope he works out. I have always had a weakness for large dogs and Dobes and Rotts are my favorite.
I new from the get go that this guy had a great temperment. When my granddaughters met him it was as if he knew them all his life. He shows no aggression toward people or other dogs. My MinPin Summer, growls at him and took all of his bones and he just lets her get away with it.
He has a great bark and he will bark at people who come to the front door, but once they are inside he is calm. I think he is going to be fine with me. He reminds me of our Rott Oso.

Joy in my World...
You know I have not written much lately but I feel the need to record the latest happenings in my life.
There has ben a mixture of sadness and happiness. I will start with the sad. My granddaughter Lauryn fractured a bone in her leg when a kid fell on her during gym. She is in a cast and expected to make a full recovery. I however hate when stuff like that happens. I don't want any of my babies to be in any kind of pain. Then my other granddaughter, Malaya, also fractured a bone in her arm when she fell while playing at school. She had to go to the hospital to get it snapped into place. She is also in a cast and will make a full recovery. I hated the thought of her having to deal with such horrible pain. May God Bless my babies and help them recover quickly.
Now for some good news! Naomi and Melecio, my daughter and Son-in-law got a home of their own. it is in Bollingbrook. IL. It is a real nice home with enough rooms and space for their family. The yard is big and Private. No it does not have a privacy fence, but there is no alley, for me that is privacy. and one less thing to worry about. I know they will do well there cause it took a lot of work and effort to get the home, so they will do all it takes to keep it.
My son Anthony filled all our families weekend with joy when he proposed marriage to his beautiful girlfriend, Irina. We are all so very happy and proud. We all want the best for Anthony and Irina is the BEST! I really love that young lady, and her family are great people. Her mom Marina, dad Gene, and brother Vitali,are special people. They are as loving and kind as their daughter. Her grandma Luba, is a beautiful woman who displays warmth and love. Leon her husband is a super kind person also. I have not known many Russian people in my life, but Irina, her family and friends are definitely the Cream Of The Crop. They are the kind of people I could spend hours with for hours at a time and not get bored or lose interest. They are so genuine. God Bles them all.
We all met at an engagement party my son had for all of us. It was beautiful. The people, as I mentioned, were the best, the food was the best, and my son and future wife were and are the best!!
