My New Babies

(1/5) > >>

ednbarby:
My husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said just these:



Their names are Natalie and Natasha (Natalie is the one lying down).  They are 1 1/2 and 1 year old, and were at a purebred rescue facility in Miami.  We brought them home this past Sunday.

They are *wonderful*.  For such young dogs, they're remarkably calm, fantastic with people (especially little kids, with whom they seem to instinctively know to be extra gentle), and unbelievably, amazingly great with other dogs.  Their first test was the across the street neighbor coming out with four dogs on leashes - two chihuahuas, a Jack Russell terrier, and a pit bull - who all went ballistic when they saw them on their leashes.  I had them sit, and they just sat there like statues while all the yappers went by.

I took them to meet the Golden Retriever down the street yesterday, and they all just sniffed each other and wagged the whole time.  No barking, growling, or pulling.  I finally have dogs I can take to a dog park!  In all my years of shepherd ownership, it never occurred to me to even try it.

They're also very good in the house.  They don't jump up on anyone, and they're not destructive.  Unbelievable!

It's so nice to have dogs around again.  :)

Brown Eyes:

Very cute Barb!  :D  Congrats on your new babies! :)

Penthesilea:
They're beautiful! I love German Shepards. My dog is what I call a "90% GSD". Mostly GSD, but with god knows what else mixed in. My best guess is that the remaining 10% must have been a vacuum cleaner :laugh: ;).

I'm happy for you that you are able to have dogs again. I know that you missed it.
And I like that you decided for rescue dogs :).

I wish you many happy and healthy years with those two!

Mikaela:
How wonderful. The two N's are beautiful, and their behaviour the way you describe it seems nearly super-doggy! Both you and they are lucky to have found each other....  :)

I wonder that they are so well-behaved and show such doggy grace and poise, and yet ended up at a shelter. Do you know their original history and background?

Lots of (sadly, imaginary) cuddling and treats to both of them from me!
