Our big guy, Croc, was so glad to see us after our three day trip, He’s always unhappy to see the suitcases come out but feels better after learning, Kylie, his dog sitter will be staying with him and his brother, Izzy.

Croc came to live with us about six years ago. His original owner was a forty-year-old man in South Carolina who died suddenly. Grandma, an eighty-year-old lady, was overwhelmed by his rowdiness. Sadly, she had to return him to the shelter. Since it was winter, Croc was sent to New Jersey, which had a dearth of adoptable dogs in winter. A relative’s family gave him his next home. Their tiny NJ yard was inadequate. Croc caused a ruckus, disturbing the peace of the neighborhood.
We’d learned to love him, so brought him home with us. We were concerned about how he’d get along with our old American Eskimo dog but they became friends at first sight. Croc just adores children. When we are lucky enough to have a young visitor, he tries to claim them for himself.

What a handsome boy!

He is so loved. Once a few years back Bud told him some dogs get smacked but I don’t think Croc believed it.

The little dog even butts in when I cut Croc’s nails. He tries to grab them before I can clean them up.

Oh, what a sweety. How old is he?

He is nine. He’s on borrowed time. Most dogs this big don’t live but 7 years, but he’s a mix. They are healthier.

I do too. He gets loving care. He has a bed in living room and bedroom. I don’t want his bones to ache.

He weighs 125. Our practice has two vets, a married couple. I hate to take him to skinny vet. She might weigh 90 lbs. she judges us and wants him at 90 lbs. I prefer her tubby hubby. He says Croc’s not too bad.

He is a wonderful dog. Half mastiff, half lab. He adores children. I know he’d love one of his own!
