Loki Poki

I went back to review what I had written last year about the newest edition to our family.  NOTHING??  In my defense, between him, and that demon cat, The Magnificent Mo, I have had a lot on my plate. 

So a year ago last June, this happened:

Loki Poki at 10 weeks. He is a German Shepard/Great Pyrenees mix, the same breed as his new big brother, Jacob Barker.

Who are you??

Loki weighed in at 13 pounds during his first vet check, and he has always been a very healthy, happy boy.  This past year has been exhausting for me, but as time goes by it gets easier and easier.  He is completely border trained, so like Jake, when we are home and outside they just go everywhere with us.  Loki is a very smart boy, and only has to be corrected about something once or twice before he gets it.  When we are gone they stay outside. Jake goes on his run, and Loki hangs out in a large kenneled area.  He has a lot of things to keep him busy in there so he doesn't annoy the neighborhood too much.  He is nothing if not persistent if he wants, or doesn't want something.

It's hard to believe that more than a year has gone by.  The boys had their vet check today, and both are healthy dogs!  Loki is about to graduate to adult dog food, finally.  With large breeds they keep them on puppy food longer.  Jake is a very slim lined 81 pounds, and Loki is a very stocky 84 pounds!  Plus, he isn't done growing yet.  Dr. Becky is very happy with their weight.  Right where they belong.

We see you haz toast........

Jake has never been one for car rides, but he hopped right up into the passenger seat of the Nissan Titan this morning, and Loki (with some coaxing) settled in to the back seat with me.  The boys are home bodies, and that's the first place we've gone together in a year!  I think we'll try a few more outings in the near future, now that we have a vehicle big enough for all of us to be comfy.
