Our wonderful pets

Great!

Are the two getting along decently?

[Java]

Lucky dog!! Rotties are great dogs, they all are until the wrong person shows up. I'm sure he'll be awesome when you're done training him!

[xaza]

Yeah they are doing great together. We brought him over for a trial weekend and we didn't get any sleep but the boys grew a good relationship. Chief is a bit older and gets tuckered out but they have been pretty civil about working things out themselves. We bought Max a pheromone collar that will hopefully help tonight (no sleep last night). If that doesn't work, as a last resort we have a static bark collar to use. Might just drink a little heavy tonight and sleep through it all

I might have posted this already but I'm too lazy to check but here's my daughter's 90lb dog. Just happens to be a good pic of her.

We have the same ball for our boys, actually just got 2 more new ones because that was the only toy Chief has played with that lasts longer than 15 minutes. Last one lasted 2 years. Good looking group.

An update on our new psycho dog, Max. He got neutered, immunizations, microchipped and dew claws removed leaving him wearing the cone of shame for last 2 weeks. He goes in tomorrow to get stitches removed from legs and hopefully we get thumbs up to return him to normal play. It has been rough keeping him in the kennel so much but had to keep the boys apart to prevent playing and licking. He learned our schedule very quickly and we ended up never using the static collar. He is hard on e collars, 10 days = 10 e collars. Last couple we cut down and made them last longer. We start our formal puppy training next week. We weaned him off the Puppy Chow the previous owner was using and both boys are on same food now. They like to switch bowls and see if I notice, might get away with it when the cone is gone.

Cone of Shame!!!

Both of our boys completed their first level training, already signed up for level 2 and 3. At completion of level 3 they will have an opportunity to take a test for AKC Canine Good Citizen. They manage to earn that award and they can be on track to be therapy dogs.




Any other pics?

The boys completed their Canine Good Citizen test in January of this year. Max is doing great and is very smart. Took him hiking for the first time a couple weeks ago to Alderfer/Three sisters Park. We lost Peaches in March so we are a cat free home now.

Max has decided he is my cuddle bug that needs attention constantly.

This last weekend was a tough one for us. We ended up putting Chief down after getting another blockage in his intestine. He also had a blood clot in his heart and we decided it was best to let him go.
