Dogs on Thursday

Angus is 4 months old now and he weighs 40 lbs. He is so adorable and is as sweet natured as he is cute. Starsky is sitting in the chair hoping for a treat.
Eli is holding Billy Cooke. Billy is one of the studio pets, he stayed with us over the long Thanksgiving weekend. It was a little hare raising keeping him safe around the three dogs.

Angus is intently watching Billy, not sure if he wants to play with him or eat him.

I came into the bedroom the other day and saw this.

It is actually a creepy picture.

He had trouble getting out from under the dresser. I had to grab the dog pillow and pulled him out.

Angus and I had our first incident with my knitting. He got my current wip off of the computer desk. I took it away immediately and put it in my bag. Later that night at Tuesday night knitting I am just knitting away and came across a ply of yarn that was sticking out. Upon closer inspection I saw that several plies were loose. I had to frog back about 10 rows til I found all the cut yarn.

Angus is 34 lbs now, growing like a weed.

In this picture they are looking at John holding some treats.

It is not nearly as crazy as I thought it would be with three dogs. They give as much (if not more) joy than sorrow. It can get really loud when they all start barking and sometimes they run crazy thru the house, sliding and crashing into tables, chairs and curio cabinets. When the rowdiness gets too much I tell them to "take it outside".

I will say that the scooping of the backyard has risen to a whole new level.

This is Zeus, he came over to play with his brother Angus. They had lots of fun together. Zeus was a little leery of Starsky tho. It was hilarious to see them together. Two silly little puppies, almost the exact same size. Angus was last weighed on Nov. 4th, he was 30 lbs.

Puppy snarls are so funny, pretending to be big bad dogs.

I love this picture. Two happy girls with their puppies.

We are settling into a nice routine, except Angus still seems to have some trouble telling us when he needs to go outside. Had another pee accident just this evening. He has yet to go in this crate.

Have to keep reminding myself that he is only 3 and a half months old.

Dogs on Thursday & more birthday

Happy Birthday to my girl! She bought this jacket with a gift card and birthday money.

I looked out the window yesterday and the three of them were curled up together on the front porch of the playhouse.

Mimi made this hat (needle felted) for Olivia's birthday.

Angus is 12 weeks old now. I weighed him this past Monday and he is up to 27 lbs.

I have a furry toddler at my house! Can't take my eyes off of him, he puts stuff in his mouth and is constantly bugging the other two. Instead of having to drive him around to get him settled, Olivia and I had to take him for a walk at 11:45 last night.
This past Monday he weighed 24.4 lbs. That is a gain of a little over 3 lbs in one week.
This is what happens when big dogs play with the baby's toy.


They seem to play well together but I have to supervise. Starsky gets carried away and it looks like he is going to kill Angus. Certainly sounds like it.

a follow up to Dogs on Thursday

There was a question about litter mates. Angus has four brothers. The largest and smallest puppies had already found homes. So these are the three that were left. The one below found a home with Olivia's friend Emily. Zeus lives down the street with Emily and her family.

I know it has been a very long time, but here I am.
We have a new addition to the family. This incredibly adorable little guy is Angus. He is a Great Pyrenees/ St. Bernard mix, born July 27th. He came to live with us on October 3rd.

Angus had a puppy check up on Monday the 19th and weighed in at 21 lbs.

He was unnamed for over a week while we tried to agree on the perfect name. We ended up voting Survivor style. There were three votes for Angus and two votes for Olaf.

Starsky likes him, Hutch is a little slower to warm up. He tolerates him. Hopefully the three of them will become the best of friends.




Angus tries really hard to run with the big dogs. Give him a few months and he will be able to hold his own.

Hutch knows there is something in the other side of the fence.

You can't take a bath here without a dog stopping in for a drink. He prefers cold water but has been known to drink it warm.

Bath day!

All together now, aww poor doggies! They look so miserable, but they are much cleaner and smell better. The question now is how long will they stay this way??
