Well, we couldn’t help ourselves. We got 2 new Rotweiler puppies. We already had 3 dogs, but 2 of them are scared of their own shadow and the third – though he looks mean – would just lick you to death.

Sadly, dogs are needcd to protect the yard and house. Petty theft is pretty common we are told, but not for those with guard dogs. So our new adorable little puppies will be trained to defend house and home.

Interestingly, a couple of days after we got the puppies there was a man killed in our area by two Rotweilers. He had broken into the property. The worst part was that the dogs attacked him for over an hour, so there was plenty of time for the police and news stations to arrive. The nightly news showed the dogs attacking the bloody and half-naked body. Yuck!

I hate to say it, but the good part about that is that it instills more fear into people around here about Rotweilers.

We just couldn’t believe how adorable and sweet these creatures were. They really grab your heart! We ended up naming them Paco and Oprah. Though I think it’ll be a while before they figure out their names. And, as they look exactly the same (other than the private parts), it’ll be a while before we know which one is which.

The most frightening part for us now is trying to protect them from the alpha dog we have. He’s already killed another small dog recently. Most of the time he’s pretty calm. But these little guys must think he’s their mom as they keep nibbling at him to find his tittys. It really anoys and scares him, and he growls and snaps at them (before running away like a little girl!).

Guess we’d better enjoy them now, as they’ll grow really fast! Make sure you click on the photos to see a larger image…
