Celebrating an anniversary, Rottweiler style.

On Wednesday my wife Jacqueline and I will celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary. Yep, that's Gold plus 5. OK, one time only, pause and clap hands. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Now back to the story. Because my daughter has been pestering me to send her some photos of her Mom and Dad, I decided this afternoon to set up the camera and use the new shutter remote to take a few pictures. And you instantly know why this story is being posted on a Rottweiler blog. Because we live with Rottweilers.

The first photo went off without a hitch. It was a quiet afternoon and for some strange reason we were along in the family room and had the couch all to ourselves.

Then we were joined by Bessie. She probably noticed the flash going off and that always means I'm taking pictures. She walked in and jumped on the couch and immediately gave her Mom a kiss.

Then, when I thought Bess was going to lay down on the couch, I thought I could bring the rest of the family in for a group shot. Sort of like a practice run for our next Christmas card. So I called Ruffin and Axl. The big guy came in but Axl was sound asleep in the other room and never joined us. 

The minute the two love birds locked eyes on each other, they decided to have another play session. They act this way wherever I take them, even to the Vet's office last week.

Anyway, that what its like Living With Rottweilers.
