Deke
is our very special little boy from the Ely/Caygeon litter.
Deke
recently embarked on his "Big Adventure", heading to Australia
with
John & Jeanine Belbin of Allerhochst
Rottweilers
We wish the
Belbins all the success in the world with Deke
and hope that
they enjoy living with him as much as we did!
From
the start, Deke appeared very promising and we hope that he lives up
to the legacy of his namesake...

Mario
Lemiuex (in French le mieux means "the best")
"He was
big and strong but rarely had to bully his way through defenders,
sending them flying instead with deft fakes and dekes. In him, the
attributes of the pure scorer and the playmaker were fused and his
size, reach and balance made his end-to-end rushes seem effortless.
In a few long strides, with a twist of those wide shoulders and quick
change of direction, he found space on the ice where previously the
way had been closed. Forced to choose between his accurate and heavy
shot or his long arms reaching around them with a sweeping move,
goalies were often left shaking their heads while they retrieved the
puck from the net. Rarely has a sport's dominant player made the game
look so easy and natural."
"Mario
Lemieux has a considerable number of records, and stands in
comparison along with Wayne Gretzky as one of the best NHL players of
all time." |

the snow!
Sister, Savvy,
Butters the Boston, and Deke bringing up the rear.
Deke has proven
to be the ultimate puppy socializer...
While
Deke is here, we will enjoy getting to know him,
while
also affording him lots of socialization opportunities.
So
far, he's already been visiting Mike's Mom at the nursing home
and
socializing with lots of new dogs...
Wow... You look like a
cloud! I think I'll see
what you taste like... Ack! That
didn't work out as well as planned!!!!
Waiting
patiently while Mike orders a tea
at the local coffee shop.

Thank
you to Brittney, Joey & Hannah for helping Deke love the water!
Would you
believe that I was just walking
through the house and found this big mess of toilet paper?
I was just
bringing it to you to show you! Really... That's the truth...
