Congrats!

Epic is scared of most people, she doesn't like men, she doesn't like other kids and she's kind of 50/50 with women. Not that she's aggressive, the most she'll do is bark and back away, but it freaks people out. But then there's those people who are like 'aww, it's all right' while advancing and trying to pet her.
I'm just going to tell everyone to ignore her, not that that will work. I've been told that the dog I just told someone not to pet because he bites, is actually okay because he sniffed them and he was wagging his tail. So nervous wags are now invitations to be pet?
I met a friend this summer who was really good about being slow and patient with Epic. We got to the point where there was no barking when she was outside our door, and Epic would even run up to her when outside.

Annie has changed so much in the time we have had her! She's getting so much bigger, and losing the color on her face too! She has gained this little marking on the top of her nose that is shaped like a heart, and her tail band doesn't seem to be fading.

Chew and Princess are doing great. Just their normal insane selves. Princess found a new sunning spot for morning time use, so she's currently spread out in the sun. Chewie finally gave up on killing his alligator toy and is spread out on the couch. Course now no one else can sit on it, silly dog takes up the entire couch!

My little baby xx His name is Oscar and he is around 5 years old. He may look like a Jack Russell but don't be fooled, he is a mix breed (part Jack Russell and part shizu Tzu). He is stubbern when it comes to tricks but the word stubbern can easily describe my family so he fits right in! He almost died the other day, he can fit through my gate and ran out after a dog on the other side of the road. He wasn't hurt but what if a car was coming?! Ahhh I don't want to think about it, although we do live near a vet which is less than 2 minutes away from my house. We got him a bed that had "Jack" written across it, shame that wasn't his name XD He doesn't like guys with carrier bags or hats on for some reason. He is strange because he likes car rides but as soon as he goes in my dads care he plays up (he doesn't see my dad much as he doesn't live with me so maybe he isn't used to it??). He used to play with every dog he saw but ever since he was attack over 2 years ago he is very scared of other dogs now, he won't play with them unless they play with him first. He gets on well with dogs he knows such as my Nan's dog, Angle. however, he does get sick of her really quickly and often hides under my chair on my lap. Oscar is a lap dog and has gotten in the habit of scratching my door in the morning to wake me up. As soon as I open the door he will be standing up wagging his tail, it is really cute. He doesn't sit on my lap that often which is a shame but he seems to love my mum's lap xx

Well, we're getting my male neutered. he jumped out of our truck and got our neighbours dog pregnant 7 months ago...

they have vid proof.


good news is there's only 3 pups so they're keeping them ;_;

[Day Of Silence]

I was on my way out of the house to ask the neighbours if they had a container for the tarantula my sister just found on her bed. But before I get out, there's this big bully dog charging our door. I managed to close the glass door before Epic exploded.
Turns out it's my friends old foster puppy (now 7 months old) who is seriously massive. The first time I saw him he was about eight weeks old and was just bones, so thin you could count almost every bone in his body. Now he's a thick dog, slightly shorter then Epic, but about double her width, pretty stocky.
Epic was fairly aggressive for the first bit, (her natural reaction to dogs at the door), but was soon relaxing and trying to play. She even found a toy and brought it to him at the door.
I wanted to let her meet the grown up bones, as she knew him as a little pup, but his owner wasn't around so we passed.

It's nice to know she can eventually handle a dog at the door!

It has been a long time since I have posted because my family and I were all camping at Lake Tahoe this past week and I had no internet or service really. Anyway, update on Izzy...
She is doing really good and is still happy and loving life as always. Her and I will be moving within the next couple of weeks and I am hoping to get her transitioned nicely before I have to start classes as well as introduce her to my roommates and talk to them. I don't want them and their friends getting too rowdy around her at first and scaring her just because she tends to be skittish at times especially around new people. One of my roommates boyfriends is like 6'4 or something so we will see how that goes. She would never ever attack anyone but I don't want her scared. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

@Middy Annie is getting SOOOO big. Wow she is jus absolutely adorable, I can't believe it. How is she doing with the chickens, rabbits and goats? I would read but there are SO many pages I really don't want to. Quick update would be highly appreciated.

Ella- Glad Izzy is doing well! Good luck on the moving!

Annie is doing really well with the critters! A bit of puppy excitement that just can't be contained shows itself sometimes and she will follow them (which they take as chasing, it's just how she follows) but she is getting better about it!

Athena (goat) is really starting to like Annie, though I'm terrified at the thought of those two troublemakers being friends lol.

Right now we are out in the pasture with the goats loose. Annie is on the 15ft leash and is doing well. Just laying near me and keeping a eye on her goats, especially when the neighbors dog barks at one of them.

Tomorrow she is going to the vet to get shots and things and then going with us to pick up my new rats. (Vet is close to the breeders house, so it doesn't make sense to bring her back and go back again)

I'll post some more pics of her later, she really is getting so big! I didn't realize until I saw her next to Athena how big she had actually gotten!

Bones, Honey and Epic hit it off really well, and they all had fun chasing each other in the field and trying to sit on one another. Honey kept running off to find food, but the other two tired themselves out and crashed in the grass.
My friend (Bone's foster) brought her two dogs, and everything exploded. Luckily Epic and Honey were on leash by that time.
I don't know, I think she thought that bringing her two small fearful terriers to re-meet a now 60 pound puppy was a good idea?
