Her opinion counts too!

Is Zoë contemplating Coullah's arrival?


From our point of view, Zoë is adjusting beautifully to our new addition.  But is she?  Does she like that we made a decision to give her a new little sister???  Or, did she enjoy being an only child??


I wish that I knew the answer to any of these questions!!!!  I wish that we could have sat her down and talked about it.  If only dogs had 'thought bubbles' above their heads!!  


Have we seen any signs of sibling rivalry?  Nope.
Have we seen any aggression?  Nope.
Have we seen any possessive behaviours?  Nope.


What we have witnessed is:


Food sharing.
Snuggles.
Lots of kisses and licks.
Comradarie.
Tail wagging.
Play fighting.
Chase games.


Kypros and I can only hope that our two Blues become the best of friends.  There is only so much we humans can do, the rest is up to our dogs.  I think the most important thing we can do is give them their space, give equal hugs and love, but treat them as individuals - with their own likes and dislikes.  We've already seen the huge difference in personality between the two.


Relaxing in the shade on Easter Weekend

Zoë:  Is playful, energetic, sensitive and a free spirit.  She looks at you with her big brown eyes and you can see her searching your face - I swear she can read my mind.  Zoë is very emotional and is pure joy.  Belly rubbings are tops on her list.  She loves being outside - she is a real 'tom girl' - nothing is too wet or too muddy for this girl.  Trail walks are always popular, loud traffic - NOT!!

Watching Zoë run through an open field is really a beautiful thing. The pure joy on her face is a sight to be seen. Her exuberance is unbelievable and her happiness makes us smile every night when we open our door and she rushes out to greet us.

Coullah: Being new to our family, we have already discovered a few things about our little 10 month old Blue. She is a real girlie-girl. She is a super snuggler with a BPS 'sweetness' that is ten-fold. Those of you who have a BPS know what I mean here! Coullah *loves* belly rubs and ear scratches. She always looks to see where we are before she acts. She is lacking in confidence, but we think that is just age and the fact that she's in a new environment. But, she is constantly looking to Zoë for leadership and direction. Coullah has been a 'country girl' for 10 months and I don't see that ever changing.


Every minute that Coullah is with us brings her closer to her new pack. We hope that she accepts and grows to love Kypros, Zoë and me as much as we are beginning to love her.



As we travel down our path together, I will share our funny moments, our serious moments, our beautiful moments and everything in between.  Enjoy our new journey everyone!
