The Gang's all here! (All pics from within the last week)

The eldest, Kim aka The Queen B/Golden Girl (3 yrs old):

The middle child, Webster aka Shorty/Webman/Jester (also 3, but was a year old when he came to us)

The puppy, Mira aka Princess Cheeseface/Spider Monkey/Mirzipan (1 yr old)

And last but not least, the Kitty Brie (6 months)

Cat-rocket launching in 3...2...1...

And there you have it, the whole crew
Thanks for looking!

Oh, I just love Webster's ears, especially in the sleeping bat-dog pose! You have lovely dogs (and a lovely kitty, too)!

They're all beautiful but Kim is just my favorite! She's one of the best looking dogs I've ever seen.

Thank you! And yeah Webster's ears are ridiculous...and amazingly enough, the farther away from him you are, the bigger they seem...lol

Thanks Laur I don't have a favorite, yet Kim is and always will be special to me...my first dog, my heart dog, as you know. She is my reason for going down the rabbit hole of dog training and sports and has taught me more than I could even imagine there was to learn. Brilliant, slightly evil, exceptionally naughty, and with a sense of humor I didn't even know a dog could possess.

And yeah, she's wicked cute (biased!). I'm wrecked when she goes (in about 40 years)...I love a lot of herding breeds but I don't know if I'll ever be able to get another herder when she's gone.

See what you made me do?

Wow, what a great looking crew you have! Kim inparticular I think has got to be one of the prettiest dogs I've ever seen. What a beautiful girl!

You've got a nice family!

Mira looks like quite a handful--lol!

Thanks all!

Mira looks like quite a handful--lol!

The Princess Cheeseface is a very easy dog provided she gets a some variant of swimming, a couple long walks, and off-leash time every day, to take the edge off energy-wise, and some training to get that brain working. It'll be nice when she's old enough to run or do some weight-pull. A quick nap and she's ready to go again.

Sounds kinda glib but I'm serious...she has a remarkably stable personality, is very bonded, has a wonderful work ethic...she's just a lot of dog. But not a difficult one since I knew what I was getting myself into and got a dog who matched my lifestyle. Most dog people I know take one look at her and say "better you than me"

Webster is the most "difficult" of the three, despite the apparently calmness in the pictures I posted lol. He's come a long way though and is really a great dog...just makes me a better trainer. Ironically, irl he's the one everyone wants to take home, because he can really crank on the charm.
