After moving to Spring, we thought that it was time for us to get a little companion. Being raised with Buster and Blackie, we decided to get a Doberman which we named Fritz Wolfgang Lubick Jr. but called him ‘JR’. Dolly was not afraid of him attacking her by the throat.

When ‘JR’ was about 10 months old, we enrolled him, and us, in an obedience class. After sixteen weeks of the class we put him in a obedience dog show in Conroe. He won a trophy for his class and another for getting the highest score in the show. We were very proud of him and he really loved us.
A few years later, we decided to get ‘JR’ a friend. I found a little girl that was just right for ‘JR’ and named her ‘Shan Grr La’. She told most people her middle name (Ha Ha). All four of us enjoyed doing things together including camping and hiking.
We enrolled ‘Shan’ in obedience class and she really liked to please and obey. I decided to make a warning sign. Since I made it, we have not had one salesman come to our house (Ha Ha).
A year or so after 'JR' and and 'Shan' had both passed away, we found another ‘little friend’. We named this Doberman, ‘Miss De Meaner’. She would always ‘steal your heart’. She enjoyed going everywhere with us.
‘Miss’ made a lot of friends. One was a squirrel that lived in our yard. She would protect her friend while she ate, keeping other squirrels away from her friend’s food.
After ‘Miss’ passed away, we met a lady whose husband was being transferred overseas. They had a young Doberman that they could not take with them. Her name was Nakita, which is Russian for Angel, and she was really an angel. If you were sitting and she was around, she would walk up and place her chin on your knee and look at you with her big brown eyes. She also loved going everywhere with us. Nakita has since passed away.
They all loved us as much as we loved them. I am sure they are all waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.
