Good dogs

This is Sailor....

..... he was born just under the window behind where he is sitting in this picture about a year and a half ago.  He was one of 6 puppies that our wonderful dog Maggie had and we kept him.  This is the first dog I have ever had that I have known literally since the moment he was born.  I watched him being born.  He got his name the moment he was born because his ears stuck out to the side like wings as if he could sail thru the air!!  The name stuck.  We all care for him very much as we do for Maggie but he is very different than her.  Sailor likes to be at your feet.  He likes to be with you.  He will get near and then just let his legs go limp and plop down and not move an inch.... until you move, then he is up and coming with you.  He does this in a nice way not a nuisance kind of way.  Companion, follower, friend.
This afternoon we had the dogs out playing some ball and discovered Sailor can back flip if you throw the ball just so.  Quite impressive...  Maggie has her own moves also but not as high flying as her son.

You will notice I made some changes to the look of the blog.  Let me know what you think!
