Líle Branches Out (Pets)

Earlier this month Líle met AM's dogs, Ollie and Max, for the first time. She handled it pretty well. Ollie continues to be surprisingly aggressive and controlling...he's been a timid bottom for most of his life, but as his lipomas have grown so has his assertiveness. Max was also all over Líle, but he just wanted to play.
As you can see, Líle wasn't too sure about Max, but we're hopeful she'll warm up with time.

We also took Líle for a walk to meet one of our neighbors' dogs, Daisy, a sweet lab who is probably about 80,000 times as well-trained as our dogs. It was Líle's first meet-and-greet without 'Dolon present, and it went fine, although she was a lot more interested in playing with people than Daisy. We were unable to arrange a mutually acceptable trade for Daisy.

First Snow (Pets)

We're getting another nice dusting of snow today; the snowfall reminded me that NDM took some snaps of Mag's first snow last week. Mag loves the snow, and pretty much never wants to come back inside. The dogs had some fun chasing an ice frisbee I pried loose from the bottom of a bowl I'd accidentally left outside, until I realized I might kill one of them with it. Instead I fed them an impromptu snow cone.
Mag plays so well with 'Dolon, but she just won't adjust to other dogs. Today we introduced her to NDM's dad's new beagle, Max, and she was just an awful whiny bitch. Max and 'Dolon get along great, of course. It's looking like 'Dolon is going to be the only dog for Mag.
