First of all, I have been a horrible blogger lately!!
Let me tell you about our dogs...
Meet Jack...as in Jack Daniels:
He is my first baby. He is a Schnoodle and he just had his 4th birthday!! He is barely 10 pounds and extremely energetic!! He is a little mouthy, and he needs some work in the obedience department if I'm being honest. But I love him, he is a great little inside dog. We got Jack as a pup right after we got married and unfortunately I have spoiled him a bit.
This is Sake - Like the Japanese Drink:
Sake Akita, and she is an Todd's dog. She is a rescue from the Cabarrus County Humane Society. The first picture is actually from the shelter. She was taken from a family that didn't feed her. You can see her ribs!! As you can see in the second picture, she has gained considerable weight. I'm guessing she's about 75 pounds. She can take me down, although I try not to let her. She is our outside dog, loves to play, guards our chickens, and is our alarm. She is a wonderful dog, and only barks if there are strangers in the driveway...or she's hungry. We brought Sake home a couple months ago, May I think.
We have two really awesome dogs...the problem is, they don't like each other. Sake thinks Jack is "what's for dinner". We have tried and tried to get them to play together. Their first encounter at home led to Jack being bruised all over his stomach and having bite marks in his back. They stand on either side of the door to the breezeway and growl at eachother.
Until today...Today, I took Jack for a walk and then took him to the outside fence in the backyard. Sake came and greeted him, they sniffed and walked away from each other. So, Todd got Sake on her leash and come out to the front yard, they IGNORED EACH OTHER!! We were able to go on a family walk, they walked right beside each other and barely noticed the other. I am so excited...I hope they can coexist soon...I love them both so much but I want them to get along.
