and Khors

Khors

 I needed a whole separate post for this Monster.     

There's a lot to unpack, I don't even know where to start.  

So, Khors is still a very happy silly dog.  He's a gigantic silly dog.   He actually needs to lose some weight.  Vet wants him at a smaller weight, so we need to lose about 10ish pounds. He's not too far from 100#s.    Hard to believe this boy was all skin & bones.

It does not help that he steals food.   I've told the roll & mashed potatoes story.   Most recently was the Crumbl cookies.  I bought some cookies for Rich & myself.  I had the box on top of my one file cabinet, cookies in the box.   In about a 15-20 min time period from my last putting eyes on the box to when Rich asks "When did you go to Crumbl?" as he picked up the torn up box.

The little thief ate 2 of the big cookies! Those aren't cheap either.    He's such a thief!  He always looks so proud after he's been found out after going through garbage, bags, & other things he shouldn't be.

He loves to play with her siblings.  Tug with Ziva or Lada, the herding ball with the cattle dogs, or wrestling with Ziva. He loves playing tug with Momma too.    He's NOT a fan of the automatic launcher.   He loves running around with other dogs & playing with his buddies at daycare.

He's a jumper of sorts.   If it's something that can bring him off the ground to stand taller than everyone else. Rich calls it "Lording over". If he has a way to lord over you he will.   He's very agile for a big guy.

The best jump was onto the exam table at the vet (approximately 3-4 ft off the ground).

He jumps over the side of the couch to cuddle (or stand over) Momma. He's got a personality as big as he is. 

He loves to be outside.  He loves to patrol the backyard & front yard.  He either lays out on the patio watching for walkers on the path. 
He's taken to laying in the front of the garage. I've been leaving the garage open so he can lay in there as well.    He's been really good at staying where he's supposed to be.   

His other favorite thing in the world is car rides in which he can stick his head out the window & wind surf.   He loves it more than anything.  
Recently on the way to the dog park, I had the windows rolled up on the highway. Peryn & Khors together unrolled the window via the backseat button.   I quickly squashed that & now my windows are locked to avoid the repeat of that.

so here in this picture, Khors when he jumped on the patio table.

Of course I took the picture and we immediately started scolding him to get down.

It was very cute & very annoying at the same time.  He's so happy when he does it so it makes it difficult to yell at him.

But that's his new thing, jumping up on things to show who's the one in charge. 

He's a talker. If he wants something, if he feels like he's being ignored.   He "snaps" at you like he's talking.  It's quite cute.

His walks with Daddy had been postponed for awhile as Rich was ill for a little over a month.   Now that he's getting better, as long as it not raining.    

We introduced Khors to the Medina dog park back in January/February.   We went back recently & they all had a blast.   

We've had to avoid the farm to allow it to dry out.   We're hoping to return soon to allow them to run and swim.

He is a sweetheart though.
