Well, not much is new here lately, but we are going to Buffalo this weekend to watch an NFL game (Bills vs Jets). This is the 3rd time now that we've gone. Chris is a big fan of the Jet's and likes to go when they are close (Buffalo being the closest they'll get), so we make a day out of it and have a good time, tailgate party and all. We are going to Dad's on Saturday afternoon/night for dinner and to meet his cousin who over from England. After that we're heading to Burlington to stay the night in order to head out to Buffalo early.
Last Saturday we took Echo to Tony and Lisa's for a small birthday party for Kaiya. They asked us to bring him to meet another puppy dane who was owned by Lisa's sister. Echo LOVES playing with other dogs, but this little guy was just too scared for most of the time that we were there. Near the end (when we had to go, of course) he started coming out of his shell and played with Echo a little bit, but we didn't give them enough time to really get comfortable. Echo was trying to play with him SO bad, it was really cute and funny. He'd nudge him a little and try and bite his ears and jowls, but Madden didn't want anything to do with it and sat in a corner cowering, mostly. Echo was really gentle and I think realized that Madden didn't want to play because for the most part he left him alone or tried to get him to play, but very gently. A lot of times he'd lower himself to Madden's height, or lay beside him to let Madden get him. When Echo was that age he was jumping right in to play with anyone/dog that was interested. I hope they break him of that, because that's the last thing you want; a shy and skiddish 160 lbs dog!
