Gibson thinks he lives here now and owns the place. This little schnauzer is completely unaware that he probably only weighs 12 pounds, and could easily be drop kicked across the room. He is a ferocious protector, and has been taking good care of us this week.



He waits to be asked to come onto the bed, which is really nice and polite. He’s quite the little gentleman. Except do you see that beard? That is one wet and nasty beard. And if he rubs it against you, he goes straight from gentleman to vermin.

Beckett has many Superhero characters that he manifests into depending on what he’s wearing. For example, Super Dot wears only underwear. Super G wears pajama bottoms but no shirt. Super Dot shoots power dots of our his hands that give normal humans and dogs great super powers. I’ve had 100 dots so far this morning, and I’m feeling pretty good.
