Baron, the Dog of the Day
Name: Baron
Age: One year old
Gender: Male Breed: Rottweiler
Home: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
 
   Hi! This is our dear thickhead - Baron! Baron turned twelve months old June 23rd, and he will get to be about 48-50 kilos (105-110 pounds) of pure, lickin' 'n'lovin' rottweiler. Born in Snake Gully here in Victoria, Australia, he has graduated to the city life, and the big smoke, but he's had plenty country romps, through the grassy hills and lakes, on our weekend escapes from the mad confines of Melbourne.

    My husband chose this photo to submit, saying nobody could ever miss its energy! Baron is chewing on a favorite bone, and not too sure about the intention of the photographer...

    Baron came into our lives just two weeks before our former rottie, Ruka (now in the big rottie-kitchen in the sky...) was diagnosed with a fatal blood malignancy. He helped her through her final weeks of the most-blessed life, and ourselves through our grief for our sassy lady. And he cheerfully grows and lives alongside us in our busy lives.

    Baron loves to watch tv, as any city dog would. National Geographic, and Soccer are his favorites. He never lets a chase pass him by, and gets very impatient if any of the players stall for time! When the scenes of the hyena puppies come on, Baron is up there licking the screen, and when the show ends, he searches everywhere behind the set... to no avail. He's a cute slobberer, and stops traffic with his looks when walked in the daytime!!! Before we got Baron, all the girls used to stop and look at my husband go by, as he bears a close resemblance to Brad Pitt... (poor me...) But now, all the eyes for Baron only, and Mick is all mine!
