New Family Memeber

Well we went from not getting anymore dogs after Shiloh died to having two, yes I said two, five month old Saint Bernard puppies. Ivan came to live with us about 2 months ago. He has been fun to have around. I have had to get used to the drool issue that he has on occasion but not to bad and I have to remember that at 55 lbs right now he is still just a puppy. We have been working on our manners and have a problem with being VERY into our food. We are working on learning some patience when it comes to meal time. Well last week one of Ivan's brothers stayed with us for a couple of days till his new owner came to pick him up. Ivan and he had a blast and it gave Barron some much needed peace. Ivan loves to try to get Barron to play but at 13 he will not have any of that nonsense. So at that point we knew that Ivan needed a buddy to play with.

We began talking about getting his last brother. They could not find a home for this one. They finally talked us into give him a home. He has been with us for 2 days now and they are have a blast. The new puppy does not have a name yet so it has been a little hard to bond with him when you don't know what to call him. He is a bit timid right now. When we disciple Ivan he is the one to run and hide. I hope that he will over come this with some time as Ivan can take his food with out blinking an eye, so for now I will have to separate them at meal time to give him a chance to eat everything in his bowl. He does not wolf down his food like Ivan. He is the runt of the family so that might have something to do with it. Anyway he now a part of the family so keep checking back to see how they grow!!

  1. Shelly, I just realized you are one of our pet food customers! Did you make the connection? What a small, small world!

    The pups are precious, by the way.

  2. It is a small world and no I did not make the connection. The dogs are doing great on the dog food by the way. Maybe some day we will run into each other in Westcliffe.
