 We had our first gathering at the house for Thanksgiving with 17 family members and friends. It was Enzo's first holiday and he fit in with the whole family. He thought corn hole was for him at first to chase the bags as they were being thrown. After a short lesson he stopped wanting to chase the bags and was just watching us play (pic attached). By the end of the day he was exhausted and I got on the floor with him to give him some loving. Enzo is a great cuddler, good with kids of all sizes, and has a good demeanor with other dogs at the dog park. He has made our home a better place.  Prophet & Ava (Ghezzi)are adjusting well. They have settled into the daily routine well. Addie was a bit bosses at first but have graciously accepted them into the pack. Jack & Aidan get along great with Ava & Prophet. Ava has bonded closely with Aidan and they have a daily play routine. Prophet is excited when Jack comes home from his day program and showers him with kisses.
Ava has had a few accidently the past few days while sleeping on the bed. We are calling the vet tomorrow to get her checked out.
Ava is growing a bit and is up to 51 lbs. Prophet has gained some muscle mass and is up to 80 lbs. They settle down at night and sleep for 8 hours before needing a potty break. They love their walks and run and play in the yard daily.
We have to watch the laundry when they are bored or the socks and dryer balls get stolen.
No allergies or skin issues. They are teaching a limited ingredient grain free kibble from Pure Vita , some veggies and fruit with a variety natural treats from the locally owned pet store. Prophet us a food hound so Addie who eats slowly is fed separately so he doesn't steal her food. Ava won't let him steal hers.

There were some separation anxiety and we lost a few blankets and sheets, with a corner of carpet. Exercise and kenneling when we are gone for more than 4 hours have resolved the issue. Prophet still tries to counter surf and has to be reminded to use his manners. They are both loving and gentle but can get over excited, so occasionally need to be separated to calm down the dog wrestle mania.

Hi Janis,
 How is the pup adjusting to your home currently? He has taken over. Not sure things will ever be the same. Lost a pair of flip flops, a fitbit charger & phone charger – but overall the casualties have been minimal. If you have any other pets, how has the adjustment been for all of them? Gaby (our 5 yr old GSD from BCGSR) both loves him and is quite annoyed by him all at the same time. I feel the same way about my younger brother so I can relate. (See pics posted on the BCGSR Alumni page and some I attached for fun) Bosley (one of our cats) is quite found of him. I believe he’s plotting to use Loki for his inevitable take over. Nala (9 yr old pit mix) thinks he’s fun to play with. The other cats have decided that they will either hide or ignore him. If you have any children, is the pup and your child(ren) getting along well? I believe Phia (our 6 yr old daughter) is one of the pack now. Although she is not nearly as fast. But all dogs realize she is the easiest human from which to get a treat. My son is 20 and keeps threatening to steal him. The 20 year old may not be long for this world if he tries. Is the puppy experiencing any issues with the following areas of concern: · Feeding Definitely not – unless you consider eating me out of house and home? · Sleeping He snores sometimes, but no worse than my husband · Exercising At the moment he is not as fast a Gaby, but he’s getting there · Housetraining All good here – crate training helped · Behavioral tendencies He is awful on a leash but we’re working with him. Other than that, he’s been good. · Allergies/skin problems Serious answer – he is quite possibly the most ticklish dog I have ever known. I haven’t notice any dandruff but was going to ask the vet if he’s just a ticklebug or if he needs some special shampoo or something. Click a letter to find an animal or view all.
