Update and pictures of Sandy & Shadow

CherylB · 05-05-2008, 11:07 PM

After my freak out yesterday that she wasn't going to get along with Shadow EVER and she didn't like being an inside dog. I am happy to say I was wrong. She woke up in a great mood this morning. She is eating great, in fact Shadow and her trade off eating from the same bowl like an old married couple. (We have separate bowls in separate places, but they want to eat together) They are playing and happy and we have had no growling at all! She is definitely in charge though as she takes all his toys away and he lets her.

The only strange thing is that Sandy thinks she is a guard dog - and barks easily if she hears a strange noise. Up to now, Shadow rarely ever barked, but he is picking it up from her and the house is quite a bit noisier than we are used to.

This picture is just to show her size - she looks a lot bigger in the other pictures than she actually is because she still needs her summer cut. They are both about the same age - so I expect they will not get too much bigger.

Here are some of them playing tonight

Relaxing after their workout

And this was just funny as I tried to take one last picture of her and she stuck her tongue out at me.
