New pups!



Our little Omar and Marlo have moved to another foster home as I was away for a few days for work. I miss my boys - they were so easy to train to do tricks!

We have since welcomed home Joey and Ross! These two brothers are going to be big boys. Ross is already 26lbs and Joey is just about 21lbs. Ross has monstrous, clumsy paws and is thick and chubby. Joey is big, but leaner than his bro.

The boys were quite timid at first - Beadie told them once that she was the boss and they avoided her for several hours. I finally got them to follow me into the back yard and run around. Within half a day they were regular pups. They also learned to go up and down the stairs and walk on a leash. It's been a huge day.

The pups seem to be pretty quiet when in the company of the other at least. They are learning to sit but don't know their names yet. We're going to try the crate tonight (now that they are pooped after their first walk!)

Ross is already extra close to our heart because he looks so similar to Levi - an adorable, chubby shepherd cross that spent several weeks with us and we really considered adopting. The resemblance is uncanny. We love Joey too - he's his own special guy - and even though there are lots of 'black n tans' out there, we haven't had one like Joey.
