Joli wondered up to our front yard a few months ago, we had no luck finding where she belonged and had no objections to letting her stick around. We have had a ton of fun in the short time she has been around. She is doing good with her obedience. She looks to have some sort of Bully in her, I love her color. Athletic girl for sure.

This is Max being harassed by Joli. We rescued Max 11 years ago when he was around 4 or 5 months old, he had his tail docked and we assume he was givin up for adoption when they realized he was not a "full blood" Doberman or Rottweiler. Max loves to steal food off of the counters when the children leave it unattended and is trying to teach Joli his bad habits. Max has thoroughly enjoyed having Joli in the house to wrestle with... constantly.

Here is Lotus. We rescued her and one of her pups (who found a happy home down the street with my in-laws) in 2005. Her estimated age at the time was 4 to 5 years old. She is the old lady of the house but still gets extremely excited for her walks and meal time.

Here she is chasing the new pup around the yard

This is the late Atticus who passed away in February after battling bladder cancer. He was 10 years old and we had an unbelievable bond. I miss him greatly.

My name is Jake and I am a working artist in Tulsa, Oklahoma USA. I am married and besides the 3 dogs have 3 children. My oldest daughter is almost 9, my son just turned 6, and my youngest daughter will be 4 in the fall.

Looks like Joli has a lot of drive, what is it with dogs and sprinklers? lol
