PRIMO- 1 YR OLD 6.18.10

PRIMO ALLESANDRO MITCHELL
ROMAN CANE CORSO

breeders: Greg Webber and Jean Montalbano
owners: Ernie and Cora Mitchell

WELL OUR PRIMO TURNED ONE YEAR OLD yesterday..ON JUNE 18th. I'm not sure of his weight yet...it's been awhile since he's been on the scale (vet)..but we're guessing....around 110 lbs. Not sure of his height either...but will soon take images with him standing up next to ernie, so you can see his actual size. Uh,yes.... He's not small. anymore. Those days are longgggg gone..

He is ALL MUSCLE...and still very much all PUPPY. Active, hyper, jumpy, loves to run...and is obsessed with water.!!!! When we leave the house (all to himself)...he settles down and listens to the satellite tv 855. Great standards.: Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat king cole, Diana Krall, Perry Como, Vic Damone, Bing Crosby........ all the greats.. LOL he loves it.

He's definitely alot of work....I mean alot of work....but he's worth it, because he's so ultra protective of us and our home. He hears everything and is always alert. He loves family and loves attention...and loves "the girls".. LOL.

We do realize this is only the beginning of a long journey...but as always, we're up to the task.

Funny, it seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home from the breeder at 9 weeks old(august)....but wow......one year flew by very fast. ** I'm sure our CONAN is looking in on us from time and time...and I'm almost Positive he is quite happy with the newcomer taking on...where he left off...as the ultimate "bodyguard".!!!

WELL IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE WRITTEN IN TO THE BLOG.
BUSY AS A BEE W/THE HOLIDAY SEASONS.

THANKSGIVING WAS WONDERFUL AS MOM AND DAD CAME UP TO SPEND 10 DAYS WITH US. IT WAS A TRUE BLAST..AND MY MAIN CONCERN WAS THAT THEY ENJOYED

THEMSELVES AND GET PLENTY OF REST.....IN WHICH THEY DID.THE HOUSE WAS CONSTANTLY BUSY W-COOKING IN THE KITCHEN, CARS BREAKING DOWN, PRIMO TRYING TO TAKE OVER-JUMPING ON EVERYONE, WORK SCHEDULES, SHOPPING...AND ALL THE NECESSARY HOLIDAY "CHAOS"....BUT IT WAS A GOOD CHAOS. THERE WERE PLENTY OF LAUGHS AND GOOD SMELLS IN THE HOUSE AND

ON THANKSGIVING DAY WE HAD 15 IN OUR HOME...WHICH CONSISTED OF FAMILY!!!!

mom, dad, in-laws, brothers, sister in law, Primo, me/ernie, nephews, niece and Pinky and Arnold stopped by for dinner... it was great!!!!!!!!!!

On Thanksgiving day, Primo was beside himself...as not only was it HIS first holiday season/event...but it was the first time since he's been here where it was this many people in the house ALL AT ONCE. He was tooooo thriLLED. He's really good about not peeing in the house anymore. we have no problem w/that...but on that day when everyone arrived (mostly at once)...he was jumping, walking...and "Sprinkling". it was tooooooo funny. We were like I guessed he's alloweD. ----- I rigged my office as his 'hangout' w/his kennel and blanket/pillows... so, we could have more walk around room in the kitchen which is where he primarily sleeps.-----As we all gathered around the table for prayer....and Primo was behind his baby gate off in the kitchen....he didn't bark, he didn't jumped...he laid down and waited for us to finish... It was hilarious.

DINNER:
sweet potatoes-ham-turkey-fresh cranberry relish---fresh salad--fruit punch, Ice Tea---Jumbalaya---green beans---potatoe salad----2 stuffings (one w/oysters, one w/out)homemade rolls.....sweet potatoe pies---pumpkin pies---apple pie.
