I haven't an updated picture but I thought you like to hear what that stinkers been up too. He has a chew bone that he likes to work at ..well for the past few night he's been sitting behind my chair just chewing away at this bone...or at least that's what I thought. Mischief was crunching on my wall behind my chair. He chewed a hole in the wall. The wall had some damage before but I guess he wanted to make sure that we fix it. He has been so good for the longest time. Then him and the cat were hunting a fly together tonight.

He's just doing great! Everyone that comes over calls him "big nose" and I've finally taught him how to speak. ... Now he has this thing that he not only barks when people come over but [all the dogs] have to bark now when people leave the house also.

Mischief is doing really good. He wants to hang with the guys after work out in the garage. Oh and he hasn't out grown his mischievous ways yet. We can't keep a collar on Mo because Mischief always seems to take it off of him!

He's doing wonderful, but he still gets in to mischief from time to time. You named him good! He's also 100% house broken now ...knock on wood.

February 2004

Mischief has brought so much joy in to our lives. It is never a dull moment when he's around because he's always getting in to something!

He still lives up to his name...it's play time all the time.

Photo: rare photo of a tired Mischief!

October 2003

Mischief is doing well in his new home and having fun with his doggie brother and kitty friend. As when he was in rescue, he would still rather be off playing with his buddies than getting hugs. No time for that mushy stuff.

While in rescue:

Mischief— Adopted on September 20, 2003

While in rescue: Mischief was a black/tan, neutered male, 8-9 week old, German Shepherd Dog puppy. He was living up to his name! This little guy was very active. He needed a lot of love, obedience, and time from his new owners for training. He was sweet, but had a strong personality that would require a skilled hand throughout his life. This little sweetheart was left to fend for himself, abandoned by a lake. He was very scared when we picked him up, and thankfully came around quite well.
