What is a Cane Corso?

So, can anyone tell me what a Cane Corso is???  For some idiotic reason, my Aunt Gina told my Mom I look like a Cane Corso when my ears are turned back…look at this silly picture my Mom took of me tonight!  Can you tell I’m a tad perturbed??  Mom tells me that Fortis may have some idea about this Cane Corso thing???

Do I really look like a Cane Corso??

Me & Mom went for a great walk tonight…squirrel hunting!   Yeehaw!  I love squirrel hunting!  Look!  I see one now!

I see a squirrel now! Maybe if I just stare at it & not move, it will come down!

And here’s a video of my silly Mom trying to keep up with my Tripawd trot!  Can you hear me laughing under my breath?! 😉  A runner, she is NOT!  Me, I’m a very agile Tripawd(for short spans that is – still can’t handle long walks – boo hoo!) But I do enjoy my walks, even though they are short!  And then after tonight’s walk, I got a massage!  Works like a charm on my remaining back leg that sometimes gets sore from too much hoppin’.

And here’s me taking a break before we head back to the car…there’s my ‘real’ ears!  Much better I say! 😉

Taking a break before we head back home...

And Mom thought she’d try to take a picture of us with her holding the camera…I got in a good kiss for her just as she hit the button…I love my Mom and she loves me…

A kiss for my Mom....

That’s quite the sun in the background………we had a nice walk….now it’s time for a little rest for this Tripawd…

Maggie was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma on her left knee. She had amputation done on October 20, 2009. Four days after surgery she had a low grade fever and was off her food for two weeks! Trying times.. I am grateful and so pleased with how she is progressing now.

  2. Maggie- have your mom get you some camo gear- that black and white coat in the woods is not going to fool the squirrels…

    Tracy- total crack up watching your jogging shadow trying to keep up!! If you got her a 50 yard long lead you MIGHT be able to catch up when Mag stops to sniff..

    And Aunt Gina- sorry, we might have fallen for the ‘Cane Corso’ comparison if we didn’t know studly Mr. November Fortis!!

  3. THAT was a short run, Maggie?? Wow. I’ve said it before and it bears repeating: you are amazing.

  4. Wow that Maggie can go! You gotta just love it, Tripawd Maggie and her mom out enjoying life together. Very special! Thanks for the photos and video.

    I need to brag a bit more on my boy Fortis, he was not only Mr. November early in his life but later became the “Cover Boy” of the Cane Corso Calendar! Fortis is getting some beauty rest right now but I know he would want be to point this out.

    I have to agree with Karen and the pugapalooza gang in regards to the camo. In fact if you fold down those beautiful ears Maggie and dawn a brindle coat you might just pass for a CC. I bet Maggie and Fortis would be great hunting partners.

  5. Thanks all for your comments!
    Karen – wasn’t my shadow a hoot! Pretty darn hard to video and TRY to run at the same time! The ground was rough and while I was going I was thinking DAMN that Maggie is agile cause I’m not – I think I’m gonna fall down! 😉
    Carmen & Charon – do ya’ really think that was a pretty good run? Is that what your tripawds can do? I always feel Maggie is behind the eight ball in stamina..
    Nancy – Maggie is the great stalker of squirrels…she keeps my yard scanned for the critters…
    Fortis – Maggie says she’d LOVE to be your hunting partner any day of the week dude! Mr. November AND Cover Dog no less!

    Tracy & Maggie

  7. Who knew you and Fortis were related, but the resemblance is undeniable. You’ve obviously found a long lost relative. 🙂

    Keep running Maggie, and keep smiling too! I love it.

  8. Dear Auntie Gina,

    Oh, my Mom failed to say it was just the ears! Sorry… 😉

    Don’t ya’ just love that sun ‘kiss’ photo! That was NOT planned! 🙂 Brings tears to my eyes every time I look at it…….

    Tracy & Maggie

  9. Look at you go Maggie Moo! Love it – your mom is your shadow! (It’s usually the other way around:)) I think you could be Miss November and Covergirl for sure! Love your sun kiss photo too – I can see why that would bring tears to your mom’s eyes…brings tears to mine.
    P.S. Your video is great to watch – love the way the music moves perfectly with your run, your smile and your mom’s shadow 🙂

  10. Ears Up is definitely more you Maggie.

    What an awesome picture. That looks like it’s been photoshopped. Simply beautiful, just like you.

  11. Have you seen the movie “UP”? If you haven’t I suggest you rent it. Its a cute movie. Then you will understand the phrase “SQUIRREL”!

    Chloe too loves squirrels. She saw one run across the back fence and she was off to hunt it…
