Our Babies
« on: January 27, 2006, 11:21:34 am »
These are our "new" Babies. Ike (the blue) is roughly 2 years old. We adopted him the PAWS of Austin. He was so scared and 40lbs underweight when we got him. Sure can't tell now. He is the sweetest critter on the planet . Our big GALUMPH!

The little boy is Joey. We decided that Ike needed a full time playmate.  Joey also came from PAWS of Austin. He had been turned in on Christmas Eve. They told the animal shelter that he had bitten one of their children. The shelter noted it as a "provoked bite: but, they quaranteened him none the less. Poor lil guy was also VERY skinny when we got him. In the 11 days since his last vet visit, he has put on 12.5 pounds. He also seems to be "outgrowing" HOD. His first owners gave him puppy chow... tsk tsk tsk.

We are taking the boys to San Diego today... Maybe I'll have beach picture soon.

Well, I got bored. I am waiting for my hubby to return and, then we are off on a 24ish hour trek to California.

Anyhooooo... busted out the camera. It's a real CHALLENGE to take pictures with a 5mo puppy in the house.

Pic #1, I was trying to get a shot of Ike on the couch. Joey would have none of that! I didn't even know he snuck in the picture until I uploaded them to the computer. Looks weird! Black puppy head on a blue bod!

Pic #2 this puppy CRACKS ME UP when he yawns. The first time he did it (after picking him up from the rescue) I started looking around... sounded like there was a COW in the living room! He is QUITE the vocal fellow.

Pic #3, another Joey yawn but, to me, it looks like he's laughing! (Yeah, I'm in love with my dogs... does it show???)

Pic #4,  it took a few days but, Ike and Joey are best buds now. Here they are doing a little mid-afternoon sunbathing.

Hi fatfutures. Your boys are lovely.I can relate to having a vocal dog in the house. Strider, our dane /wolfhound mix pup has an amazing array of noises from yips to grunts and woo woos, depending on the situation. You almost can't believe they all come out of the same creature.

Hello and welcome.  I love the last pic of the two of them lounging together.

I love blue danes, and they were one of my top picks to get.  Obviously I didn't...........lo l.  Gunther is also quite the vocal fellow, and will actually "backtalk" me like a teenager when he is in trouble.  He will sit and grumble for several minutes of his time outs.
