LOL Ripley is taking measurements of Paige. The plotting and planning has started.
So adorable, especially those puppy rolls 
Aww... When can her stitches come out?

Saturday! Just the bottom stitches left. She said we can take them out ourselves which we will be doing. Then post them right up as the edges are pretty much healed. We are to clean the bells out daily right now as they get a little gunky from normal ear function to keep them clean and dry. Then we also have been messaging them multiple times a day and she really gets into that, lol. Leans and groans.
I thought they looked pretty healed so it's good you can take them out yourself.
What are you saying to them?

Probably last few photos here for a bit... Just wanted to show how Ripley and Paige are getting along and not spam photo of the day lol.
Last night before bed. We don't allow play in the kitchen because linoleum but one time was too cute to spoil their fun. Especially before bed we got a tired puppy who slept almost the entire night! We actually woke her up to potty not the other way around lol!
And some today downstairs. Excuse the craziness. We live with my mother until our home is built (which won't be until next year thanks to the pandemic) so our "home" downstairs is one giant room.
Works out great for my mom cause then she always has a horse/house sitter for free in return whenever she wants at the drop of the hat! Shes not going to want us to leave cause then we will be too far away LOL

I know Paige can be way more rough with how she plays with Abbey. She's really being gentle and reserved with Ripley and tolerating her so much.
These pictures are so sweet! I think Ripley is calmer than Asha was, and Paige is more experienced than Reckless - win, win! Much nicer play than we had to deal with, still makes me sad that Asha bullied Reckless so badly, but they are great together now, so all's well that ends well!

I've had to separate her once today cause she was non stop punching and biting Paige in the face and Paige was too nice not correcting her! She is a bit calmer than I expected but as she's warmed up here, I think the honeymoon phase is slowly wearing off.

Paige is being sooooo gentle with Ripley! And those little puppy feet bouncing around the kitchen! Do you think Paige is actually enjoying the company? It looks like it!

Omg what a sweet, sweet innocent face. You do know it masks the devilment don’t you.
I loved seeing the video of Paige play bowing with Ripley and Ripley getting the rips (zoomies) in your kitchen.
Paige is being so patient with her.
Now I want to snuggle with both of them.
So happy you have both of them. Giddy person here for you. Yippee!!!!!

That first picture of Ripley with paws on Paige is priceless. Should be a calendar consideration!!

I'm not sure yet since our take home date changed by a week because their crops got pushed back too so we had to reschedule her original appt last minute. So earliest we could get her will be next weekend for first checkup and 2nd shots. Paige weighs about 45-50lbs and is 21.5"What does Ripley weigh? She looks so big next to Paige! Maybe I just thought Paige was bigger
She was making me laugh changing her mind which direction she wanted to go towards the end and she almost ran into Paige. Paige whines cause shes frustrated and wants Ripley to play with her but she doesn't know how to get her to play or how to play with such a small thing without hurting her. She had to do this to Java too. Java was not a doggy dog, she wasn't interested in playing with other dogs. Until Paige figured out her play style. I'm sure Ripley and Paige will do the same, especially as she gets bigger. Paige is non stop wagging her tail when Ripley comes to check her out, then Ripley's little nub goes a million miles per hour lol its so cute.Paige is being sooooo gentle with Ripley!

She keeps measuring Paige as @Kaiser2016 put it
I'll have to try and capture it when we are able to take her out in the yard without the kennel in the way. Working on making sure she knows the kennel attached to the garage is the potty place first! Today she even scratched at the back door to let me know she had to go out. 
Thank you all for the kind words! She's a joy to have and the wait has been worth it. Paige has some companionship again and she's been such a good girl showing Ripley how to do things. Im sure Paige isn't complaining when there are instances like I once asked her to start eating Ripley's food to encourage Ripley to eat too. Ripley was like, OH! this is good?? And immediately started nomming with her tail going like a blur.
