Black Dog Sunday - Happy and Wonderful Big Brother

Our Black Dog makes me smile daily. He's been through so much, including his elbow replacement and his glaucoma. Yet, he's the happiest dog I know.

He truly loves it when I ask him to be in photo shoots. He knows that lots of treats are coming his way!

His bond with Hachi just grows and grows. I frequently find them curled up together like this.

Sometimes, R leaves the main living area to go snooze in the bedroom. If Hachi notices, he follows. I watch to see whether Hachi is going to pester R (in which case, I close the door to give R a rest) or if he's going to curl up with R. Recently, he curled up with R.

There is nothing that lets Hachi relax like snoozing with R.

They do play together but not always.
Hachi has started losing his sharp puppy teeth
Our Black Dog's spirit astounds me. He's so kind, playful, and happy pretty much every single day. I aspire to be as happy as he is!
Happy Black Dog Sunday!

  9. Adding Hachi to your family seems like it's been a very good thing for R, and for Shyla as well. They are all so sweet together. ♥

  16. We can all take a lesson from your wonderful black dog. Overcome the obstacles and stay happy.

  17. OMG, those fangs! :-) Looks like Hachi's canines aspire to be like R's! Wonderful photos.

    We added a new pup (one year old BC, outdoor ranch dog before we adopted her) to eight year old Obi's life about the time you added Hachi to your pack. It's been fun to watch your Hachi and our Rowan learn "together" these last two months (this is one reason I've been enjoying your training videos so much - they're progressing about the same, more or less the speed of light thanks to Sue Ailsby's Fenzi classes). Obi isn't nearly as comfortable with a warm body snuggling up to him as R is, but this afternoon I caught both dogs on the couch, Rowan's head on Obi's flank. Didn't dare move to get the camera. :-)

    Cheers,
    Chris from Boise
