We picked up Joker 2 weeks
ago. At first we thought he was not bonding with us because
when we brought him home he automatically befriended our
mini Aussie, Sirius.
Sirius is usually wary of other dogs (he's more of a "people" dog).
We were amazed at the fact that Sirius was instantly
excited and ran around the house to show Joker where
everything was. "Here's
the kitchen! Here's the bedroom! Here's our food bowls! "Here's
our toys!" Joker wandered into the patio and was
so shocked by our rabbit, Trix, he didnt know what to
do with himself.
It's been 2 weeks and Jokey Pokey (our
nickname for him) is a HUGE, happy puppy. Joker is bigger
than Sirius now, but Siri is still his big brother. When
they play in the yard you can really see he lives up
to the name we will register him as: "Tons
of Fun". I
am suprised at how big he is! We used to joke and say
Sirius looked like a wolf, he's our wolf cub. Now Joker
looks like a bear, so he's our bear cub!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
We love him dearly!
UPDATE: Joker is doing well. He might be going to herding
competitions in December. We came across a little mini
that needed rescuing. He is a beautiful blue merle, 10
months old. His dad got stuck under an electrified fence
and he almost did too. So we took him in. Joker and Sirius
LOVE him. My husband saw that Joker's mom and dad were
expecting pups and got excited. lol. We definitely have
enough but we're looking forward to seeing the new puppy
pics. |
