My new best friend...

Looks like Brady is having a great time! My giant beast of a Shepherd\Elkhound has destroyed every ball we throw his way, soccer balls and basket balls have a two minute lifespan, so I have to ask where you got that polyball? Is it one of the solid ones or semi-soft?

The polyball is a former boat fender now dog toy. I left it next to the garage and Brady claimed it as his own. It is the inflatable kind you can get at any marine supplier. It has enough air in it that he can't get his mouth around it and sink his teeth into it, yet I can still kick it across the yard without breaking a foot. He likes the line attached and uses it to swing it around and play fetch. The only problem is now he thinks every boat fender is his toy.

Here are some current shots;

Never going to see Hooper in a picture like that...my big brown new best friend aka the biggest wuss ever would be crouched behind the sofa shivering in fear. Good looking dogs you got there Fred!

Ahi is definitely prey driven - squirrels, rabbits, turtles, birds. She doesn't really seem to care about the deer, but Koa does...

Ok...time to update the MNBF thread. Hooper and I went down to the lake for my b'day, and then I took him and the girls down last weekend. I have noticed that if I'm not paying attention, he likes to raid my make shift bait tank...Hooper loves to chomp on some Shad.





I'm pretty sure he's sticking his tongue out at me.

Now I have to keep him away from the bait...
