A bunch of new photo of my baby boys.....

[Rugers-Kris]

....who are both growing like crazy. First an update: Magnum is doing fantastically. He and Ruger are best buddies and his training is going so well and much easier than I thought it would with him being deaf.

He is one seriously active, stubborn, nosey little guy and is growing so fast that I am amazed. I started by teaching him to "check in" often and he is doing very well. He has learned that every couple minutes or two he will look bak to me to see if I need him or am giving him a signal. Of course, this while in the fenced yard as I obviously don't let him off lead otherwise.

Ruger has begun to do some real filling out. His head is so much bigger and his muscle is unbelievable! He is my baby but admittedly he is becoming a big boy and as far as I am concerned is very impressive.

He has been a great help with Magnum. I taught him to "Go get the gator" and he will do it 100% of the time. He goes to him, nudges him with his head or foot, barks and starts back to me and Magnum comes with him. He is also a very good babysitter because he takes things away from Magnum (Things he shouldn't have) and brings them to me. If he is chewing on stuff, Ruger will come and "tell" to check on him.

All in all it has been a great experience and I am so very happy to have added this little demon to my pack.

Thank you, Ruth. I am so happy with both of them. I was so excited but so nervous to bring Magnum home and now I can't imagine why. Other than running me crazy, I can't believe how easily he has become one of us.

The boys are absolutely handsome! And so awesome! You are doing such a wonderful job training them. I need to channel some of you to get Brutus back on track.

 

[Rugers-Kris]

Thank you! They really are great! How old is Brutus? Are you dealing with the teenage months? I remember those........I drank quite a bit. LOL

"Go get the gator," LOL-- I love it!

They both are just gorgeous to look at. Magnum really just looks so soft and silky in those photos...

Happy to hear that everybody has settled into the family "pack" so nicely.

 

[Rugers-Kris]

Thank you. Magnum's biting is getting so much better BUT I believe the nickname "Gator" (Short for little white alligator) is here to stay. When I first brought Magnum home I would say "Where is that little alligator?" and he would run to find him so I just built on it until he would actually go get him for me. Yeah, I am lazy. LOL Magnum is SO siilky and soft but he is so pink underneath that you can se through his fur...LMAO. It is actually adorable but I have to keep sun screen on him even when we are in the yard for just 30 minutes. The biggest issue is trying to keep him from licking the sunscreen off of his little white nose and avoiding a burn there.

Love this pic. Even though, their heads get super heavy. and their jaw bones hurt! LOL. IDK how long I'd be able to relax like that!

( Nice nail upkeep! do you dremel??)

 

[Rugers-Kris]

Thank you!Yep and steadily growing by the day.

Great pics!!! Magnum is huge already! lol

Thank you. That is my 5 year old grandson and he lays there until he can get Ruger to do it. LOL Amazingly enough, Ruger doesn't put all of the weight on his head/neck. He thinks that Brenden is his boy and they are together the whole time he is here No, I just clip them. I bathe him once a week and clip them right after.

Legendary white alligator, :lol: I heard they are worth millions. Magnum is getting tall and long and the head on the dash board is priceless I see he also likes to drive. I can't keep Mason off of my shoulder.

Ruger is filling out he looks he like a cement block for a head, haha

 

[Rugers-Kris]

Thank you!

Love the pics.

 

[Rugers-Kris]

LOL. Yeah, they are a rare difficult breed! They are thieves, too! Yeah, he wanted to check everything out while we were at a stop light. He no longer fits in the front seat so he has moved to the back now. :-( He is definitely just as velcro as Ruger is, for sure! That is a perfect comparison....Cement blok head and it is STILL getting bigger! I figured at his size he was probably done growing for the most part aside from mayb a little weight gain but he is not even done filling out yet. Yikes!

Yes they are theives!!! Argh! If I keep finding one more thing outside driving me crazy. Lol definitely a velcro breed "my little tumor" has to be everywhere with me as well as touching me. Haha! that should stop this breed. Mason knows he's too big but that doesn't stop him from sitting like a bird on a perch on my armrest. It amazes me he can even do that. I'll give the little white alligator some time, soon he won't take "No"for an answer, and find some awkward way to be with you :grin:

great pic's wow he is growing

Thank you! They really are great! How old is Brutus? Are you dealing with the teenage months? I remember those........I drank quite a bit. LOL

Brutus is 7 months old, he hasn't quite hit his teens yet. I'm working with him, sometimes though he gets a little ornery. Overall he's a good boy just moments when I'm walking him and he NEEDS to charge ahead. I think I sprained my wrist this weekend when he nearly dragged me down a nature trail. I swear I got my resistance work out for the day done with him.

Have you found sunscreen safe for dogs? I need to apply sunscreen to my Weims nose, but she loves licking sunscreen. Whenever I apply sunscreen I have to bat the pups off me cause they're trying to lick my legs.
