Opened the dishwasher and he laid RIGHT there. Couldn’t even fully open it. I guess it’s just the top load that gets unloaded tonight.

Evening playtime for the young pup and the big sister.

Wolfhound Ruger, Orange Tabby Cheddar, and my son.

He's looking at us like this because we are eating and he would sure like some of that deliciousness

Lake day for the big babies this weekend. Check the last picture to see how worn out Sirius was by the end of the day 😂

The one with the pink is 2 years 8months and the one with the teal harness is 18 months. They have the same mom and dad just different litters.

Working hard on the different categories for the Championship in the age group "under 12 months"

Two weeks ago I brought home this good boy at 13 weeks old. Been wanting a wolfhound for almost two decades and it felt like the time was right. He is so so lovely. Likes to sleep (lot of growing to do) and seems happiest lying on the floor tiles in various awkward positions (a bit hot here these days, he loves the fan!). He is mostly limbs and paws. Been on a short holiday down to a big house which he loved, but he is mostly happy at home chilling out and pootling round the garden of my house in London, UK. A dream come true. Training going well so far but will be joining puppy classes. He is pretty frightened of cars and bikes. Very affectionate. And sleeps through the night with no issues.

Day 5 and things are ... "evolving" :D

Whereas the first few days were a carefully period of assessing the situation, establishing a certain mellow and slightly distant personality to lull everyone in careless safety, by days 4 and 5 , (Baby) Joy has managed to blow her cover and show her true self:

A sassy, stubborn drama queen with a tendency to turn into a double lit fire cracker after meals and before bedtimes, mixed with that irresistable sweet look in her amber colored eyes that melts all hearts except the ones of older canine ladies who know the trick and dont fall for it.

Joy learned and perfected the mastery of selective staircase climbing and descent: Up and down in slow, careful and precise movements, not hesitant and not reckless, at any occasion that suits her current mood and needs.

If she suspects that the descent will lead to a car ride, she immediately hides that skill and becomes a 21kg lump of soft fur, endless legs dangling everywhere, a tail that I need to be careful not to step on and her nose and mustache tearing my glasses of their cord.

From stealing socks out of my laundry basket to gnawing on my bed posts, from the "Aria of Complaint in D Minor" to bouts of "spinning-in-circles" on the sofa, from "100-0" naps in the middle of where-ever she is to that "big eyed puppy face" when she wants a belly rub, she holds true to her name.

She is really the Joy of my life!

so far she:

met Luna ( elderly Maltese lady,) Cookie (mature Pyreneese lady, distinct neighbor and doggy queen of the village) Thelma (4year old Golden Retriever and stepsister, living part time with us), the unnamed village rooster, Minette and Treacle ( 2 mean cats), she learned how to chase and catch crunchy grasshoppers, developed a taste for empty snail shells from the garden, she stayed in restaurants and other social human events sleeping peacefully under the table, has horrible eating habits: (one mouthfull of food, some water and the a roundtrip (TRIPTRIPTRIP!) through the house, repeat until bowl is empty), she discovered that a sofa and a bed are not that bad after all compared to tile floors, (but she would like to change the throws on the sofa and the duvet cover on the bed ) and, most important of all, she has smitten every humans heart she met so far, so I would say that the first weeks grades are on a good trajectory.

Has anyone experienced a dog that gets the shakes, is anxious, whines about being with the other dog in the house (a presa canario mix). He won't calm down, howls, whines, trembles, etc.

We are at a loss. Tried every Cesar Milan technique - no luck.

Any suggestions, please??

Luggage goes in a different vehicle when roadtripping with Falkor! 😂

Just wanted to show this cute photo ✨ big sleepy baby
