update of stuff

Athena got spayed last month. She's all healed up and doing fine. The first night, she was passed out in the yard for hours. D'Argo sat out there with her the whole time. It was super cute.

Yesterday, Athena walked underneath D'Argo. He's such a moose. And he's the runt. :)

He's 8 months old and continues to be a pain in the ass. He tries to eat all the furniture and the cat. He's too lazy to be trained. He'll just flop down and you can't get him to move with any type of food bribe. Sometimes, I have to drag him across the floor just to get him out of my way. Seriously, he's like a bear rug. He's also in some sort of super barky stage. I mean, I know TMs bark but he is extra barky. He usually starts about five minutes after I go to bed. Because he's considerate like that. Basically, he's a perfect TM. :p

We've been having a run of hot weather out here so we bought some air conditioners. For the dogs. They spend the entire day not moving. Like furniture. Athena continues to be super sweet to us and super evil to strangers. She's awesome. D'Argo is too lazy to care about people. Unless we are walking around the neighborhood, then he barks at everyone. Athena went throught that stage too. Now, she ignores just about all people when we walk. She's so non-reactive to weird situations, it's great. The other day we had a thunderstorm and a huge lightning flash/thunderclap went off really close. She just looked at me like WTF was that? And then she went on with her walk.

Anyway, I guess that's it. I still feel like I own two different breeds. They are just so different.


Here are some pictures of D'Argo watching over Athena after her surgery and one of him just looking giant. :)

So cute! How tall is Athena? He does tower over her now!, however, I bet that little lady has more of the TM attitude so far from what you describe and may always compared to him. Maybe smaller but feisty!

Great pictures! It's so adorable that he stayed by Athena's side after she got spayed. He is quite a big boy!

I think she's about 24". She only weighs 75lbs although her breeder still thinks she'll put on more weight. Her mother is about 115 but she didn't get there until she was four.

I'm glad that if one of them has to have an attitude, it's her.

Loved the updated, you cant beat a TM for being considerate!
Hades (gold) has taken to barking madly in the middle of the night for god only know what reason....probably heard a mouse outside or something!
D'Argo is gorgeous, they both are! :)

Your post was great & the pics just top it off.

"Get Up" was the hardest command to teach Tessa. She was getting 'good' at it for a bit--but still it doesn't always get carried through--the 1st 5 times-but I keep at it til her black ass moves.

I'm starting to believe the "they conserve energy until it is needed" is a crock of shit.

But I agree with CR, we still need more pics.
The 'fro is TRULY AMAZING & for whatever reason, I just feel the need to see much more of it.

That 3rd pic needs a caption of some sort--looks like D'Argo was talking to Athena- "Psst -Hey Athena...Mum turned on the air-c'mon-get up..."
