So, we have been very excited over the last 2 weeks or so. We have been bonding with our new family editions. Ivory, aka BevMo was adopted by our good friend James. She has really bonded with him and is a totally different animal. She is getting great training with James and she has really found herself a home for good.
We have had these 2 guys for almost 3 weeks and they're great. They were all ready potty trained, so no messes on the carpet and they are buddies so they play together all of the time. Also they all ready knew their names, so we didn't have to wait for them to learn what it sounds like when we call their names. They usually come to us right away when we call or stop in their tracks when they hear their names called.
It's so sweet that Yogi is Smokey's dad and you can see how he tries to help Smokey all of the time. They have the Cujo dog personality....it's split between the 2 of them. Both have their own unique characteristics and both do many things like Cujo. Smokey is a lover. He wants you to love on him all of the time. He licks like there is no tomorrow but his lick is super soft, unlike BevMo who could lick the skin off of your hand.
Yogi on the other hand is the protector. He is always watching over us and making sure that Yogi isn't being too much of a tard with us. He wants love about as much as Cujo did, which is only when he wants it. And Yogi is SO STRONG. If he really wanted to, he could easily pull me down while I'm holding onto his leash and drag me all over town or until I let go. So to avoid that, I usually run with him if I'm the one walking him.
As for the cutest thing they both do....Yogi's is easy. He is obsessed with towels. Anytime we use a towel, he wants to roll around on the floor on it after we're done. We both wish we knew what the purpose of all of the rolling around was but we don't. We try to come up with theory but nothing too good has come from it so far. Smokey...well he's just all around cute. The way he licks is probably the cutest thing he does, or his sideways trot. Cujo walked the same way, so we think that's adorable. His lick is so cute, on his third or fouth lick....he gives you a long lick with a little flutter at the end.
We're taking them to meet my mom this weekend. She will absolutely love them. She might even try to keep Smokey but of course we won't let her. Be sure if you get the chance to welcome Yogi and Smokey Bear to the Family.
