  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

First day at forever home.

I know, I keep looking at Bane and his growth as a reference. They are such great dogs.

Sure, I‘ll keep posting growth updates. It has been difficult to find growth charts that are in line with Bane‘s progress. He has outgrown most of the dogs we have used a refrence in height and weight by now.

I love the way Gus holds himself. He looks so confident. He is very handsome. Love those big black elephant ears! ;)

So funny story, after years of raising kids ( the human sort) our front yard is joined by dense woods at the bottom of a hill. Gus has found a treasure trove of footballs, softballs, baseballs, soccer balls, baseball mits, frisbees you name it. Our yard looks like a sporting goods store exploded in our front yard. He is so proud when he finds something too. Thought I would share, lol.

That just cracks me up. Our old Beagle collected treasures and slept with them in his big chair. Dog's Are the Best!

View attachment 60745 Photo update. Btw Wife don’t like camo collar, black one on the way.

That‘s funny. We had the exact same conversation. To me it really doesn‘t matter, but the wife isn‘t a big camo fan. He still uses a camo martingale collar, which I like best (not because of the collar but functionality). Anyway, there are thousands of collars, so whatever makes the wife happy :)

Too funny. My husband plays guitar. He shows me guitars all the time. I pick which one I like based on the paint and look of it, as where he is like that one is a piece of sh**. I tell him," well it's pretty " :) Men look at things in a functional way, and women see things aesthetically.

They do look great! Georgia is so pretty. I love her markings. And Tyler's right Gus is catching up quick!

I really like the black mask. At certain points, he will grow in terms of height, but it always takes time to catch up for the rest of the body. I feel bad when I see Bane at some days because he seems to be so thin. I know it‘s good to keep them as lean as possible. People probably think we don‘t feed him. A couple of days ago someone said, "he must be getting close to a houndred lbs" (he really believed that).

How‘s Gus doing? Did he get his new collar? I know, it‘s only been two weeks, but two weeks can feel like two years with these guys. There‘s so much happening every day!

Doing well, I missed his appt. at the vet on the 23. Just got home from the vet. He weighs 78.2 and 25” at the shoulder. He wasn’t crazy about the fecal exam ( nor should he have been). He got his rabies, Parvo and distemper shot. The vet was concerned when Gus struggled during the fecal exam. He pulled away and thrashed his head. Just saying I may have done the same given the same situation. She said with a dog with hsize potential needs to be worked with to avoid any issues in the future, which I agree.
