I was going through old pictures this evening and came across this fun collection: The 5 Month Old Baby Discovers The Furry Family Member
Dobermans are comfort-seeking dogs. They love attention and warm fuzzy things like blankets, stuffed animals, and babies that smell just ripe enough to eat.

IJ and Taz |
|
 |
IJ Loves Taz! |
The first thing IJ crawled for was Taz's chew toy. Taz was a great at sharing!
 |
S sharing his blanket |
See what I mean about fuzzy warm blankets?
We lost Taz when he was six years old to a heart attack. I was pregnant with E at the time. He was a stinker, barked at bikes and baby carriages, and stole ham off the counter, but he was always, always gentle with the kids. After E was born, M brought home his Pathetic Doberman.
 |
E's Tasty Toes! |
She was still a baby herself and spent less time being gentle and more time chewing and biting and making my life hell.
 |
E hears a secret |
But this is a cute picture anyway. Funny, I think I found that exact pacifier in the back yard, half-digested!
 |
F finds The Doberman |
Pathetic Doberman had mellowed out just a tad by the time F joined the family and served as the title of my original blog... mostly because she caused me so much grief!
 |
F gets her face washed! |
But she still liked to lick the babies. And drum roll please....
 |
D and Pathetic Doberman |
D discovered the Pathetic Doberman today! He squirmed over to her and started chewing on her collar...while she was still wearing it!
 |
"Mmmm! Yummy!" |
