Not much to report

I haven't posted much lately as there is not much to report ... Bo and Faith are still doing well and are not peeing as often when my husband speaks to them... so they are getting use to him.
They have also learned really quickly that the quicker they go to their kennell the faster they get a "cookie". I still can't leave them out to run around the house without supervision, but we are working on that. I am going to work with them more on obedience training and such this week. The kids are back in school, so I have more time to work with them.

Bo's new haircut!

Bo recently got a "Schnauzer" hair cut.... he looks like a little gentleman but he is still as onery as ever :)

progress .... slow but sure

The dogs have really come out of their shells and are acting like puppies now. It's like having 2 toddlers around always getting into mischief :)
They are doing fine, tho'!
Bo and Faith both know sit and go home .... they also are playing more. When we first got them, they were kind of "shy" and slept alot... but not anymore ... it seems like they are ALWAYS playing ... they are even more like toddlers in that whenever one has a toy, that's exactly the toy the other one wants ... there is always alot of tug of war going on as well as jumping, chasing and wrestling... they have also brought out the "inner puppy" in our Golden, Joey. When Faith and Bo run around and play chase, it's one thing, but when Joey tries to join in, I have to send them outside to rough house.

Doing fine....

Bo and Faith are doing fine. We are working on a little bit of training right now... so far they have learned "sit" and "go home" .... Bo does so well at sitting when he is about to get a treat BEFORE I tell him to that I have to have him walk toward me a bit and then I give the "sit" command.... Faith is a little slower to respond to the command but then she does, as if she's thinking "oh yeah, that's what I'm supposed to do"
The "go home" command is used when we want them to go to their crates.... it depends on what mood they are in whether they listen or not :)
I am also working on "polite" leash walking... They are catching on that the walk progresses more quickly when they don't pull on the leash. When they pull I simply stop and say "no pull" ... if they continue to pull, I take a few steps backwards until they quit pulling. It takes a long time to get around the block but they are progressing nicely :)
Faith is a little better at this than Bo is, but Faith is a lot more laid back than Bo is :)
Here are some pics of them with my girls....

Baths

Doc gave me the clearance to give them a bath today. I think that I got more wet than they did, but we got it done.... in a week or so after their stitches come out, I will get them groomed.
Bo got his bath first.... I put him in the tub with the water running already and he jumped back away from it at first... I had to drag him back closer to the water. He kept on wanting to get out, of course, but he and I both made it through just fine.
Faith was in the bath room observing what just happened to her brother, so she wouldn't come to me when I called her.... I had to drag her into the bath tub. She did fine once I got her in there, tho'!
After I towel dried them, I let them outside to run and "do their business" something about bath times always seem to relax a dog and they need to "go". Then, of course, they rolled and wallered in the grass for a while before they were ready to come in to get brushed... Faith does well getting brushed but Bo still likes to bite the brush :)

Faith's recliner

Faith has now claimed Troy's recliner as "hers" .... Troy said that he and Faith are going to have to talk about that :)

Both Bo & Faith are doing fine. They both are now playing with toys often and take many puppy naps in between play sessions.

They are the cutest little things. Every time any of us are out of their sight whether it's for a few minutes or over night, they get so excited and act like we have been gone for a week.

Bo & Faith

Bo
Faith
Bo & Faith are our Snorkies. For those of you who don't know, a Snorkie is a mix between and Schnauzer and a Yorkie. Troy says that they should be called Terrier Mixes, but I think Snorkie is much cuter. They are my dogs so I can call them Snorkies if I want too :)
Actually ... Bo is a Snorkie (more Schnauzer than Yorkie) and Faith is a Yauzer (more Yorkie than Schnauzer).... hehe
Bo & Faith have been living with us for 2 days now, but their story is a heartbreaking one. They were discovered in a animal shelter near Amarillo, TX. They were found by the shelter wandering around at the side of the road. They were on death row and had 3 days to live and that's when the OK Yorkie Rescue sprang into action. Through a network of other Yorkie lovers, they made there way to a foster family about a week and 1/2 ago. Those little one must have went through alot in the first 6 months of their little lives. Now they are living comfortably in their forever home.
Now about 7 months old, they were spayed and neutered, had dew claws removed and retained canines removed just 2 days ago. They are recovering wonderfully and in the 2 days that they have lived with us, they have started coming out of their shells and acting like puppies. This morning, they were outside "wrestling" with each other and playing. They also played tug of war with each other with a toy. As far as we could tell, they hadn't been introduced to toys until they were with their foster family, so this is all new to them.
Bo is the more active of the two and can't stand if one of our other furbabies are getting any attention. Faith is the snuggler and usually gets comfy and goes to sleep in your arms... that is until Bo notices then he wiggles his way in too to snuggle up.
Meeting Rocky
They find Rocky the squirrel facinating and love to stand and watch him as well as chase him back and forth as he runs through his cage.
They met Joey and Joey is really jealous of them, but Joey is so laid back, they get along fine.
They are still getting aquainted with Pearl. They want to "play" with her but she isn't interested.
They both need baths and a trim but after they have their stiches removed in about a week, I'll get them cleaned up.
