Hi, my name is Bubba.  I was born August 19, 1999 and I was adopted by my family in November of 1999.  My family had gone to Nosowea Cockers to see a brand new litter of puppies and they picked a red and white girl.  She was too young to bring home so they paid some money to make sure she was theirs.  They also wanted a black and white puppy so the breeder told them she was getting 2 the following week and they had the same dad, Ch.Danzata's Not a Nosowea Plan, as the girl they just bought.  My sister and I were 3 months old when we arrived at the breeder's house.  My mom & her granddaughter, Nina, came to see us that very day.  When I heard the door open I jumped right up on the pen and wagged my tail as fast as I could.  Nina picked me up and it was love at first sight.  She said "I want to take him home today".  My mom said ok and she signed some kind of papers and gave the lady a big pile of money.  Even though Nina held me, I was kind of nervous so I had gas all the way to my new home.  Nina thought that was really funny. 

Here I am, the first night I got to my new home. 

I loved Nina right away.  We watched TV together.  I never saw TV before.

That first night they put me in the bathroom with a gate at the door.

I cried and cried so Nina came and snuck me into her bed.

I was so happy I kissed her 107 times.  In the morning this is how they found us.

Here are some pictures of me before Xena came to live with us

- please wait for all the photos to load for the slide show -

Xena always wants the toy I'm playing with.

Sometimes I stand in front of the toy bin and say "na na, na na na, you can't get the toys!

One time I told Xena if she didn't stop growling at me I'd bite her head off but I was just kidding!

I Like tennis balls and spend a lot of time           My mom says I look            

getting it in just the right spot in my mouth      just like my laughing dog toy        

I love Mikaela & I watch over her all the time

I'm a big boy now and everyone tells me I'm handsome and a real gentleman

Things I like to do

I always have a toy in my mouth and my tail is always wagging.  When anyone comes in the house I run and get a toy to show them and I wag my tail so fast that it looks like I'm doing a Hula dance.

I love windy days because I can chase the blowing leaves.  I pretend I'm hunting and the leaves are birds.  When I get a really good one Xena comes and takes it from me (of course).    My mom doesn't want me to bring them in the house so I always leave them on the porch by the door. The other day I captured 9 leaves.

We have a doggie gumball machine with dog cookies in it.  I can work it with my paw.  Xena sits and waits for me to push the handle down and then tries to grab all the cookies when they drop down. 

I spend most of my day running from one window to the other barking at birds.  When I'm running I  grab a mouthful of food.  That's the way I like to eat.  I was biting on the blinds on the windows so my mom pulls them up but when I go to the window in her office I grab the cord and sometimes they come down.  I've ruined 2 pair of blinds on my 2 favorite windows.
