We decided to get Mylo a friend.
We picked up an 8 week old Dogue De Bordeaux aka French Mastiff aka the big ole red dog from the 80's movie Turner & Hooch. My avatar pic is of Mylo @ 8 weeks when we got him. He weighed 4 pounds, Porter is 14 pounds!
We named him Porter and picked him up on Saturday afternoon.
Mylo's been super excited to have a brother/friend at home. They play pretty well together, though they get too excited sometimes and the play gets too rough and we gotta separate them.
He begins his "puppy discovery" class tonight, it's week 2 of a 4 week class then he's off to puppy beginner class, which Mylo has done 2 times and will be enrolled in a 3rd. On a bright note though, outside of class Mylo's attention and listening skills to what we've learned have gotten WAY better. He's even drastically improved in class, though he still gets excited at the site of other dogs and people.
At one point last night I had both dogs sitting for food on either side of me (sitting on the floor with them) paying attention to only me, which is a HUGE step forward for Mylo, especially with a puppy in the room.
Here are some pics of them together
Mylo listening to Mrs blue-sun like a good boy
Sniffing his brother/friend
Lounging in mom's lap
Sleeping on my belly LOL
Look at the size of these paws!!!!!
It's hard work being a puppy
Mmmmm, food
Too much food, nap time
