@Kaiser2016 i been flipping people off all over the forum

 

[Rits]

LOL I didn't even notice to be honest. I knew they were two very different emojis too.

 

[Sir.duke865]

Lol little phone screen I have to almost put it on my nose to see small details at times

 

[Tropicalbri's]

It’s the little details you have to watch out for.

Now your girl has a look of being the BOSS!
What will her call name be?

 

[Sir.duke865]

I’m leaning towards Dutchess, if it fits her character. Any suggestions are welcome

 

[Ddski5]

Dutchess and Duke?

Can't get much better than that!!

 

[Sir.duke865]

I like the ring of them together myself lol

Dutchess = Boss

Chessie for only those close to her. After all she is royalty like “The Duke”

Oh ya, I recall a member saying he named his dog Duke because he planned to have a "Duchess" one day. Was that you? Great name. It means:

A woman holding a rank equivalent to a Duke in her own right.

Works perfectly!

Haha, I couldn't resist

 

[Sir.duke865]

@Kaiser2016 yep definitely was me, I didn’t know the meaning behind it I just liked the sound of em together but the meaning just made it that much better, love it

If you have the time, energy and patience and are only worried about Zoe bonding with your family, then I say- go for it!!!!

I don't think your breeder, who knows you well, would set you up. You have a lot of experience with dogs and know what you are doing. Zoe is gonna do just fine acclimating in your lifestyle.

My wife and kids just said yesterday about how we needed to get Ragnar a female companion to play with--he looks lonely in the yard by himself.

I said- no, but hell no.... at least not right now. One at a time, until I learn more.

I had to laugh when I read this, my wife said the same thing and my response was just like yours. Even though we have had dobies for 30 years we kind of forgot how they are as puppies. There are days I am exhausted working with Preacher but we know he is going to be great. Glad to hear Ragner is doing well since his surgery.

Here is a current photo of Preacher, he turned 5 months old July 11th. Weight 50lbs.

Such a stoic face.

Beautiful pup!!!

If you are still using the bridge, I would stop.
