Figured I'd chime in with my family dogs. The little black one is Bear, a miniature poodle/dachshund mix, and the big dog is Levi, a shepherd rottweiler (or at least we think).



Poor Levi blew out the tendons on both his back legs and will need surgery to fix it. Unfortunately, he belongs to my brother, whose youngest son (5) was born with a very sever heart defect that has required a few million in surgeries already, and probably more in the coming years. It sucks when it comes down to your dog or your kid, because it isn't much of a choice to make. I've been thinking about setting up a crowd funding thing to try and raise the money Levi need to fix his legs, but the family as a whole still needs to decide what happens with him. Long story, he may end up living with me or my parents. I really want everything to work out well for him, he's such a sweet dog.





Odin thrown in just because I liked the picture. My boy isn't German at all, which is weird considering the family dog history.
