Peryn chillaxin

Hey there.

Today we took the pups to the park. It was a muddy muddy mess. They had a blast though.

When Peryn was young ..as in too young to go to dog parks or play with other dogs, we used to take the kiddoes to a park near us that was empty practically every time we went.
It was huge and it gave the dogs a chance to run free, play with one another , and acclimate Peryn to a dog park. It was also a great way to tire them all out.

That park has since been closed to the public, so we hadn't taken the dogs there at all. We knew of a large park that was somewhat similar in size that we did take the dogs to ONCE last year. WE drove out there today with Lada and the large dog side was empty!

Lada at 12 and 15 weeks

The dogs loved it. They got to run free and play and tire themselves up. It was wonderful. They're all pooped out right now.

Lada is doing well for the most part. We still struggle with her going in the house. We recognize the signs when she needs to go out and try to catch her. The struggle is after she's been out and comes back in then proceeds to go right there in front of you. Are you kidding me?

Duchess looking pretty

Peryn & Lada are great together and there are no issues there. Athena & Lada are sweet together. Duchess and Lada ...that's funny stuff.

Duchess always comes across as ferocious with her deep menacing growl and bark. Plus she loves to play hard! Lada tends to bark more at her than play. Duchess TRIES to get her to play, but Lada just isn't there yet.

She's still small, much smaller than Peryn was at this age. She's 4 months on Friday and still just 13 lbs. We're expecting her to take after her Mom and be on the small side.

She's still a sweetheart and cuddler. Love her.

Ms Lada

Peryn. Peryn. Peryn. He's quite the stinker. No really, he's a great dog. He's possessive of me, but he's a great brother to all the girls. He ADORES his puppy family. He can hang and play with each of them so differently, but it works.

He's still attending day care and it's really helped with the energy. Now that he comes home to Lada--that really has worked wonders on him. I almost feel like I could trust him to be free when I'm not home.. A L M O S T He's gotten so big. It was like overnight, POOF!, he's bigger. Love that boy.

Duchess is even more cuddly than before. She's got competition and she's not letting them win. I like the new cuddly Duchess. Love my girl.

Athena is Athena. She's not changed a bit. Still sweet. Still as barky as ever.
