It’s a sunny but chilly Saturday morning. I like to wrap up in my blanket and put a cap on while it warms up in the morning. Since Bryandt is visiting, it leaves less couch for the dogs to sit next to me (Dreugan and Amigo bicker over the spot on the couch). Well, this morning, Amigo decided that since Dreugan has the spot on the couch , he’ll become an 80lb lap dog. I think he’s enjoying it. Cap was a holiday present, has a rechargeable light and it’s warm.. Brent and Anne say I look like a Poke ball with the cap on.. lol
Dreugan, Weillow and Amigo all live with us here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. Dreugan is a 100 lb 2 year old Huskweiler that lives to talk. Amigo is our 6 month old Lab mix, he’s our thief he loves to steal socks and keeps stealing Dreugan’s toys and hiding them.
Dreugan has to stay tied while outside not because he takes off (though sometimes he scares campers) but because every time we allow him to run the yard he gets sick. We do let him off but we try to monitor him. He loves chasing lizards, yucca roots (we know yucca root isn’t the issue as him and Amigo’s favorite toy is a yucca root), we are thinking the issue is the lizards. He does have allergies so could be many things, but when he stays tied he doesn’t get sick as often. Plus he is very vocal (husky side) his looks and size tend to intimidate people.
A couple months ago we did something that we had no plans on doing. We got a puppy we called “Amigo”, he was 8 weeks old born July 20th. We asked about his parents mother being around 40lbs and father 80lbs.. Amigo seemed tiny to us, so we thought he would get around 50 lbs a perfect size for the RV, since Dreugan is 100 lbs, smaller dog would have been nice.. Though at Amigo’s last vet exam at 13 weeks, he weighed in at 24 lbs, which means he’ll get around 80 lbs maybe more..
That’s fine with us, sometimes smaller isn’t easier.. We broke all our plans with getting Amigo, when Litha passed we wanted to wait to get another dog, and planned on getting a med size (not puppy, we just got past the puppy stage with Dreugan) dog. But when we saw the puppy sign Brent and I both felt compelled to go look (we never go look at parking lot puppies). We got there and the first puppy to come to us was Amigo, he looked similar to Litha even with the same white marks on his chest (Amigo is a different breed, only color, markings are similar, we don’t expect him to be Litha). We tried to put Amigo back in with the other pups but he didn’t want to go.
So now Amigo is part of our family, he’s vaccinated, chipped and officially a family member. This may sound weird to some but we feel Litha picked him out for us. 3rd picture is Litha- June 2015 to Sept 2022 ❤️
Anne’s new baby and first dog, she’s a brindle boxer mix that Anne named Freyja.. Dreugan isn’t sure what to think of her. But soon the two of them will be playing.
Not much has been going on the last couple days.. To keep our sanity we decided to take a step back from the solar, and took a drive, no we didn’t allow Dreugan to drive.. He has issues of not watching the road, turning around in the seat and sometimes laying on the floor..
Dreugan now 33 weeks old 7.5 months and still growing. He’s been doing good, still has puppy brains, and hormones are kicking in.. We plan on having him neutered but the vet recommended that we wait until he’s 1 to 2 yrs old, for bone growth. Love the puppy but also can’t wait to get pass that stage.
