Between every human and canine there is that moment... the beginning of the bond... that first instant of transition from awkward strangers to that magic connection, when each says to the other, "This can work... I can love you with all my heart."   This is that moment for Jason and Titus

 

 

Tracy never really had a problem with bonding... there was a connection from the very first.

 

  

And then of course there was that first innocent encounter with his housemate, his half brother Rush (a.k.a. his  partner in crime).

 Tracy helped ease the introduction. She and Jason should have known from this instant that their lives would never be the same.

News Flash for Saturday May 5, 2007   Logres’ Contucci, a.k.a. Titus,  went Best In Match… at the Mid Atlantic Puppy Match.  No photos (no show photographer)… not even sure of the total entry ( I suspect about 25),  but we are assured there was actually a representative of every group in the Best In Match line up.  So, for absolute sure, Titus beat six other puppies. I can say for sure that he did not win by default! 

 

 We are all as thrilled as if he’d gone BIS at Westminster…  well, not exactly as thrilled, but we’re pretty darn happy.   Congrats to Jason, Tracy and Titus!!!

Everyone needs a hobby... a way to kick back and relax...  get away from the daily grind.  Jason likes to fish... Titus loves spending time with dad... so an appreciation of the water was part of a natural progression. But Titus has gone a bit overboard ... literally.  From playing on the banks to the canine version f JAWS ... Titus has gone completely off the deep end.  In the photos below you can just make out Titus' ear tapes breaking the water's surface as he cruises around his pond... barking at his flock of geese.  I'm thinking Jason should strap on a fake shark fin...  grab a video camera and he'll have the winning video for America's Funniest Home videos.
