Tough Guy

This is Cash.

He is the stud muffin of our group of dogs.

Since he has only the geriatric Pepe and the very female Molly to compete against, it isn't a hard won title. None the less, he is OUR stud muffin.

He is regal, manly, and sophisticated. He is head of garden security. He keeps the other dogs in line. He has these wonderful, boyish good looks. And that, dear friends, has been his problem. He just can't seem to get a handle on the tough guy look. No one shakes in their boots when he comes running.

Until recently, that is.....

As you can see, he is now missing a chunk of his ear.

I think it is the tough dog equivalent to a facial scar.

How did this happen? Well, we don't know who started it, but he got in a tussle with his niece, Luby - who happens to be a pitbull mix. I wish I could say that she looks worse than he does, but I'm not a good liar. However, we have decided to look at the positive side of things. Thanks to a family misunderstanding, he now has that tough guy edge he has been looking for.

Doesn't he look tough?

James Dean-ish?

Scary, even?



I hesitate to put these pictures online for fear of terrorizing unsuspecting individuals.
Don't be alarmed! He is a highly trained, cat chasing machine.
He would never release his highly honed skills on people of the human variety.

Besides, he is taking his new found bad boy-ness in stride.

He always knew he had it. It just shows now.
