The Pack
OK, it's been awhile.  Been busy. Lada was cleared for playing with other pups and had been doing just that.

We've taken her to dog parks and she's been going to day care with her siblings.   Additionally, Lada was my co-pilot last month on a drive down to Tennessee to visit family. She was a perfect little lady.  In fact, on my next venture down she will be coming with me again.

She's still extremely small, but makes up for it in personality. She just adores humans and some dogs.  She still is house training and that's a hit or miss some days.
She's very very clingy to Mommy and it's cute until it's not.

Peryn is still my boy. I love that dog.   He's got a very bold personality and is very dominating. He really is my favorite.  He has an obsessive personality when it comes to fetch or tug.  When you play with him, be prepared to play a long while.

He's very strong too. When he was a little pup we bought him a tether tug. He played with that until he outgrew it and broke it.  The next size lasted through all sorts of weather and play. He would play with it along with MC or Lada.  That was until they bent and broke it.   
Replacement arrived on Saturday at 2:15 or so.  By 2:20 or so we had it in the ground and gave it to him to play.  By 2:23 it was broken.  The T Tug was rated 35-60lbs. Peryn is 42lbs.  His grip and stregnth are ridiculous.   We contacted Chewy.com (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and got a refund before we even had it a half hour.   
The kids

I have since purchased the Extra Large size for him. Here's to hoping that one lasts.   


They all seem to get along as a cohesive group for the most part.  Much like Galen, Sheba & Goldberg did.   I'm glad.  Peryn & Lada has definitely brought Duchess & Athena closer than they once were.

It's crazy here sometimes, but I love it.
