It's good to stretch your legs after you wake up! Join me on a walk along Ipanema beach. It's a wonderful place, with lots of soft white sand to walk on, and coconut trees waiting for me to leave my "signature" on.

It's where my love story begins.

This is Tutty Maria, my sweetheart. She lives in Ipanema. too. We met on the sidewalk along the beach. It was love at first sight. Tutty was looking for a commitment, and so was I. It took a while for our two-legged friends to figure it out, though.

If you think it's hard to find love and romance when you are a human, imagine how it must be for a dog living in a city! If you do as much as try to get a closer sniff at a good looking babe you hear "Hey, mind you manners, young man!", followed by embarrassed chuckles.

Anyway, one day Tutty's father summoned up all his courage and decided to break the ice. He stroke up a conversation with my pa, while I got to know Tutty better. Later I was told we were engaged, whatever that meant. What I know is that in two weeks I heard the intercom, and there she was!

As a gentleman I cannot go into detail but you can figure what happened if you look at Tutty and all our puppies. 11 of them! This one on the right is Fred Jr. He was just two-days old when we took this photo, I guess that's why he's so "wrinkled"! Here is his story of the first time he met dad in "person"! Fred Jr.
