Zeus would like to officially introduce his baby sister Ruby!
Zeus does not leave her alone, sleeps by her xpen and crate. He is learning how to play nice with a puppy. He is a bit too jumpy and too fast and does not understand why she flops and won't keep going. Other than that she is way too confident and hangs off of his face most of the time...
He did give her ALL of his favorite toys
I think he is happy! I slept on the floor by her cage and on his new bad all night. So he took his rough spiky nylabone and placed it on my face... I guess he thinks I needed a chew toy. I woke up with scratches from the bone all over my neck. So considerate, I love him.
We picked her up at 12 weeks, she is very sweet, and follows Zeus to go potty outside! she mimics everything he does.
We named her Ruby out of the blue... Looked at all K names, than Athena, Xena etc all Greek. Me and my husband could not agree. So we looked at her mom and dad and said well she is going to be very very red... and your birthstone is ruby, so why not Ruby? it's easy.
Do you find training a little easier with two vs. a pup by him/herself? This is probably the first pup in 30 years I have trained without another and either my memory is failing or some things are a little more difficult. Of course we have had bad habits cross generations as well.....
Thank you everyone. We really hope that these two form a bond and grow old together. Its been funny so far, he is a bit too fast and I have to teach him easy... well she takes no smack from him and leaps at him, hangs off his side, tail neck... when play is starting to get a bit too crazy i have to hold one back with one hand and the other with the another arm. They are so crazy! she thinks she is the same size as him and is way too confident... He already plays tug with her and she hangs on pretty tight to the toy! he lets her win a lot...
No potty accidents in the house, she runs to the door and follows Zeus.
I also have to say that picking up a puppy at 12 weeks and what a difference...... She likes her playpen, crate, does not bite, uses potty outside, wow! I am so impressed.
We are really excited and she start puppy classes soon!
