I got the dogs a new bed this past weekend and I thought I would upload some updated photos of them as well.  They seem to be getting a long pretty well with the cats and are pretty used to their new home now.  They are quite a bit bigger than when I first got them, but that is expected.

The potty training still needs some work, but they are getting better.  I will be enrolling them in puppy training soon so that will be pretty interesting for both me and the dogs.

Other than that I don’t really have any more really interested news.  They should be getting their last set of shots in the near future and then I can take them out more often.  They are doing a pretty good job getting along with people and other animals when they do come in contact.

I’m sure I’ll have more news in the future, but that’s all for now.  I should be getting back to work anyway.

I took the puppies to the vet today.  I probably should have brought the dogs and the cats, but I figured I should take care of the dogs first then bring the cats in later.  Having dogs can get pretty expensive.  I knew when I adopted them they would be and I guess I have to pay double what I usually do since I have two of them.  I figure after the initial payments in the first year for adoption, vet fees, and obedience classes the fees will get smaller and smaller as time goes on.  I’ll only have to bring the animals in once a year and I’ll just have to worry about food for them.

On top of the fees having young animals is a lot of work.  Lots of training.  Lots of carpet cleaning, etc.  In the end it’s definitely worth it and I’m glad I’m taking on the task.  I think it’s also easier on me since my work load isn’t has heavy as it has been in the last few months.  I’m pretty happy with them an I enjoy the companionship.  All four of them.  I’ve gotten a lot of positive comments about my animals and for right now I’m glad that they are all healthy.

I thought about it overnight and figured I should have adopted Alex’s brother.  I decided that if no one had adopted him yesterday that I would go ahead and adopt him today.  I’m sure I’ll have my work cut out for me in the next few weeks, but I consider myself a responsible person and I’m sure I can handle it.  I wouldn’t have done it otherwise if I didn’t think so.  Naming Alex was easy, but I’m not sure what I will name the new dog.  I’m leaning toward Adam (which is my friend Dogg brother’s name).  That would be too funny, but I’m not sure yet.  As of right now the dog’s name is unknown.

Alex seems to be much happier now that she is reunited with her brother.  The people from Delta paws said the brother was whining the whole way home and into the night after he was separated from her sister last night.  Now that they are together, they seem very energetic and hopefully it’s not too much for me.
