Our puppy is 9 years old today! Not a puppy anymore, in fact, a senior in dog years! Jon and I got him back in 2002 after researching the breed of dog we wanted with our Boxer, Joia, and deciding on an Amstaff (American Staffordshire Terrier). His name is Tyson Chompers Nelson (Tyson because he was the victim of being bitten on the ears often by our boxer and Chompers because he wanted to put anything in his mouth!!) He and Joia grew up together and were best friends until she passed away from cancer a few years ago. He has been a very sweet puppy and really is a gentle teddy bear thinking he is a lap dog and trying to sit on your lap when you are on the floor or thinking he is a puppy and still trying to bounce on you when he gets so excited to see you. He has had his share of follies over the years mostly relating to him eating random things - such as my skates and various things - or things that made him sick like a bottle of aspirin, bag of charcoal, etc. Anyway, he has brought lots of joy to our lives and Shayla and Mitchell love him tons as well! So Happy 9th Birthday to our Tyson pup!
