Here is a picture of me (with my granny glasses on!) and Spike (my 6 year old chow mix) and Beethoven (Spike's almost 1 yr old puppy).  Beethoven is the one in the back!  He is around 65 pounds and will be 1 year old in November!  She is bigger than her Mom (Spike)!

Spike is a mix of chow chow and golden retriever.  Beethoven (we think) is a mix of boxer and mastiff.  I think they are both beautiful dogs!!
