We also went for a hike! About an hour away in nc. The weather has been soo much more pleasant and warmer.

Today is the 10th day of the duck eggs in the incubator, and it looks like only one out of seven is viable. It was exceedingly difficult to keep the right temp and humidity in my diy incubator so I ended up buying one anyway. Looks like if my single baby hatches I'll have to get him a couple friends from Tractor supply!

@Brioddy reminds me of the farm days and hatching geese...it's a blast! I know with the geese, I had to keep the MALE away till they were almost full grown for their own safety...just an fyi.

I incubated 3 duck eggs and also at a different time I incubated 8 python leather sacs. I used peat moss and good soil in my incubator. Only two of the ducks hatched out and they were a trip. I had to teach them how to swim and they followed me EVERYwhere. They were so much fun and my dobe never tried to harm them. He was there as they were hatching and since he went everywhere with me, he accepted the ducks following and pestering him too.
Now let him see a chicken and it was game on, or a fish. He was hell on the fish I caught.

Then went to introduce Rubie to Lars, the Shorkie, since he might be staying with us for a bit later next month. Rubie was pretty good with him but his little nashers were going a mile a minute! Little dogs are so weird... Now if Rubie had been nashing her teeth at him like she was toward him... Mid-Nashing:

These little dogs are feisty!

Someone doesn't care for bath time haha. Kaiser loves the warm water, he's such a diva.

Bacall knows to get up out of the way when I mop. Bogie is finally doing the same (not happily).
Excuse the worn out couch, I am getting new ones once we replace our damaged floors and finish remodeling.

Audrey hated hot water I use to actually wash her sametine as myself and I love cold cold water so I think is habit.. When I use hot water she heavy breath etc. Still when I want to wash her she goes to back of her long crate hiding from me. She knows more she act up longer it is by now so she stays calm I wash her in 5 min drying straight away. Well I am better but she is so big we can not have our romantic showers no more ( my bath tub small for even us standing)

I have no idea how your dogs are nice next to birds Audrey straight huntting zone he pulled me in frozen Lake Ontario to get the ducks with prong on. I have to Yale 3 times leave it. Pray drive is strange.

Heeeeey!

@GOD'S GRACE I've never had experience with geese, but I will for sure keep an eye on my drake with the little ones! They are pretty friendly ducks in general, my neighbors flock of mallards have been coming over and my two just ignore them. They must be the "lower class" or something LOL

@Tropicalbri's that's a sweet story, I have a confident feeling that Brinks will be very curious and sweet to the babies. Odyssey is good with everyone, she grew up going out to the horse barn with me. Fish on the other hand... watch out! They both know the "f" word and the "b" word (boat) and go crazy if they see a fishing pole, cooler, or tackle box being loaded into the truck. That being said I've long ago vetoed them coming along for fishing trips because they are impossible, whining barking any time you cast and if you catch a fish? Forget it! Oh and if you are fishing from shore, they swim after and chase your bait.

@XerxesYoga they are both really great with my parrot, he even gets on the ground and "talks" to them making dog whining noises lol. Odyssey is good with poultry but will avidly chase after wild birds, as will Brinks. Him and Sunny my drake taunt each other through the fence, I don't let them out together but I don't really feel Brinks would attack them. Terrorize maybe!

 

[Kaiser2016]

Heeeeey!

Can't wait to see the pics! I found a local Doberman Facebook group but they never seem to get together which is disappointing. I love Dobernados haha. So many wiggly nubs!

Same here with my two. They respect all my parrots but if I take them walking on the mangrove trail and they see the wild birds, they are off and running through the muck and water after them. By the time they come back they are covered in gray stinky muck, happy as a lark.

I don't think we're going to be able to make it this time We have agility practice that day in a huge facility that will be an actual course. It's too good an opportunity to pass up!

Classes get in the way of everything don't they. We have classes on Thursday night and that's when I have other plans which have to get skipped or moved around. My excuse for everything these days: "Kaiser has class." Even other dog owners don't understand haha and then they get all annoyed when I tell them he's not just a dog, he's a Doberman.

I kind of like this one of our two, if it weren't for that darn trash can in the background... Tried to Photoshop it out but it didn't look good so I left it as it was.

Ooh, I love it! I won’t show Tara, she’ll only get jealous

The bigger the area,they’ll curl up in the smallest ball in one of the corners. Lol

Have you told her about her future brother? Or are you going to ease her in gently? Haha.

Oh, yes! I tell her ALL the time! We actually got confirmation of pregnancy three weeks ago... But I'll start a new thread when it gets closer and we're confirmed for a pup from the litter!
