Haha, thank you both ^^ I'll have to get some better pictures tomorrow.

And I haven't, actually. He came with the name Tonka, but I just don't think it really fits him... So if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them :)

Clemmy always seems to pick the days Loli's in my care to want to sleep in my bed. And my cat is being needy. Which means tonight all four of us are going to be cramped onto my twin sized bed. Someone save me D:

What's his personality like so far?

Here's some names that I really liked from my Aussie page:
Stryker, Leon, Rocco, Kodiak, and those are all I can think of. Personally I like Stryker but it depends on him really.

[Cardinal]

He looks like a Joel (strong willed). or Jericho (City/place of the moon. Named because the moon reflecting off the light colored rocks made the city and surrounding glow). Jasper (spotted stone, or treasurer). Jagger (to carry. Peddler. Carter). Jax (Light from a fire, protector) He look looks like a 'j' name. xD

So I talked to my mom and tomorrow we will probably be going down to the beach with Princess. Hopefully I'll be able to do my school work down there, then work with Princess on getting into the water again. If not, she will probably get some petting in from whoever walks past. Since she is always a big hit at the beach. (There aren't many bulldogs down here, and shes a 'mini' english bulldog so she's a pretty unique dog.

I'll try to get some beach pics of her tomorrow if we're able to go(:

Here's a short video of him I took: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LpzD-Ly ... e=youtu.be

Not much to it but thought it wouldn't hurt to post it. And I don't know his personality too much yet - but he's pretty much like any other puppy. Curious, playful... dorky. :P

Also, I would love to see some pictures Midnight ^^

Oh he's so handsome! (And your yard is really pretty lol)

He does seem like he has some Golden in him, or maybe he's lab/Aussie? He does look similar to a lab/Aussie I saw once.

I'll try to get some, she's such a goofy girl at the beach, so she probably won't look very pretty lol. I expect her to be covered in sand, with her lips covered in drool, and a insane look on her face. Haha

Aww Lupen, he's adorable! He seems so happy with you :3
How many dogs do you have now then? c:

Bear runs like that too, with her tail between her legs and then lies down with her ears like that. Makes me laugh every time xD


Last night we went outside at about 10pm, since barely anyone is out at that time so we can do her off-leash training without too many distractions. It's still relatively light at that time, so it's not like we're talking in the dark. She actually behaves better when I let her walk without the leash than when she's on it, which is quite surprising. She walks beside me, and the only things we need to work on are sitting before she crosses a road - she forgets to sometimes - and not running off when she sees another dog or a cat. So last night, the funniest thing ever happened: we were just walking along the scheme and past this really big bush. And then suddenly, from under that bush, emerged a black Pitbull type stray. He done it so slowly though, and my little sister's reaction was the best: she just kinda looked down at the dog and said "whooaa" and took a few steps back with her eyes so wide. She was so afraid and I was standing there dying of laughter. Bear wasn't bothered, she was just like, "oh, hey, let's play."

Thank you ^^ I have three now, though Lucky is so old and laid back he almost doesn't count lol

And he could have lab.. Might get a DNA test just to see, but it's a shame ill never know for sure.

Also, the new pup follows me everywhere, yet won't walk at all on leash. Would luring him towards me with a treat while the leash is on him best? Only technique I've found so far, so any tips would be awesome. Never had a dog with leash problems honestly.. Rylee in particular didn't mind the leash at all as a pup.
