this one is about Buckeye, aka Kai


camp days were long... and Kai discovered her favorite nap position.
she was helping us move... 
inside-out night at camp in January

we are totally in love with the Rottweiler we purchased here in Brazil back in November. 
she is the most docile, sweet, cuddly puppy (75lbs at 8 months) we could have found!

since brazilians have a hard time saying Buckeye - you should see what they can come up with! Bocai is the most common miss - we have given her the nickname of Kai. yes, as in Kaiser. 

Kai, for one, loves fruit. any fruit. if you are eating it, she wants it; if she sees it hanging in the kitchen, she wants it; if she sees grampa with some, she wants it. 

Kai is also Mark's Jiu-Jitsu partner. He comes home after practices and re-practices all his newly learned moves on our pup. She loves it. She has also made the over-generalized association of male=jiu-jitsu. So there are some poor souls that enter our yard and are forced to learn at least the defensive moves to fin her off. 

Kai is also our kid. 
If you are a couple that has been married for only a couple of years, you understand how many times a day/week/month you will be asked about...CHILDREN!!  especially in  a country that has fewer privacy barriers than the US. 
So when we are asked, we tell ppl we HAVE a child. She is black, brown spots, four paws, and wonders if she is adopted. 

Our family is up to 3.
