Meet Diesel

Diesel is our 75 lb boxer, he's 5. Some of his favorite past times include singing on command, growling at passer-by's, and going on long walks. He also loves Emma. They run down our little hallway together, and Emma explodes with the giggles. Diesel is a funny guy like that. When Emma says Diesel, it doesn't quite come out right. In fact, it sounds like she's swearing.

As with any parent and their children, we are very careful to make Emma be nice to Diesel. In spite of our efforts, there have been times where Emma has done seat drops onto him, tried to ride him like a horse, and twisted his ears into a frenzy. Diesel never really seems to mind. He loves having a playmate in Emma, and she gives him oodles of attention and love. Diesel also loves my nephews Drew and Ryley. Drew was just a baby when Diesel came about, and they have been buds ever since.

As much as Dies can drive me nuts, he's a good boy- and Emma tell him so. She says "ood boy Dies", and "stop it", "stay", and "sit". She even sneaks him treats from the cupboard on a regular basis. No wonder he loves her so..
