The puppies are beautiful! They had their first Dr. appointment this morning at 8, and both checked out just fine :) The puppies are *very* friendly - I had a BBQ yesterday with a few friends over, and Chinook made a wonderful impression. Thanks again for helping us adopt these guys - they each have a wonderful (and spoiled) doggie life to look forward to!

Here's a quick puppie update. As of this am Chinook weighs 23 lbs & Nanuq is 30.5 lbs. They are growing so fast!! They are still as sweet & loving as always. They love their hugs & loves...still not to big for lap sitting (especially Chinook). We got to puppy sit Chinook last night so Sean could go out. It's great that we live so close together so that neither of the pups need be alone. They have seen each other everyday & continue to have that close bond with each other. They are both comfortable with Nikki. Nikki is good with them but looks a bit confused when they want to jump & nip at her as they do with each other. Still to early to leave them unsupervised. Chinook has one ear that is up most of the time. She looks so cute.

I think they're getting used to their schedule now. On nice weekdays, Nanuq get's to come over to my house and play with Chinook while everyone's at work; and on the weekends Chinook gets to have a sleep-over with her brother. They are the happiest puppies I've ever met!

Day by day they become more accustomed to us and establish their routines. I usually get up at 5 am, and let them out side for a "break". After some good pets, they ruff and tumble for a half hour or so just to work up an appetite. Seems like both of them are at our house at nite most of the time. We should have some good weather this saturday. We will introduce them to a Kiddie Pool for their first official bath. I'm sure it will be a short one. Supposed to be in the 70's.

Puppy school starts tomorrow night. I'm guessing that they will be the smartest, cutest & largest in their class. Not sure how they'll take to school though....

Nanuq is a horse. Dr. Smith the last time he saw him said he IS THE BIGGEST PUPPY HE HAS EVER SEEN!! He said the previous record was 48 pounds at that age. Nanuq is well over 70 pounds now. Both pups are getting accustomed to the water more and more. In the beginning, Chinook wouldn't even come within 20' of the pool when I'm in it. Nanuq is no prob. He likes to put his front paws in on the first step and just stand there. On the other hand, Chinook loves to stand in the kiddy pool. She saw me in the pool this week-end and came over to visit. Little by little I think both will enjoy. ( Nikki sure does. She was swimming the whole week-end.)!

Well yesterday ( the 29th) was significant for Nanuq. He not only turned 6 months old, but was scheduled to the Vet for neutering. Go figure. The 29th of the month, something always happens to him. I'll recap: He was conceived on November 29th... Born on January 29th... Picked up by his new family (pack) on March 29th.. And went to the Vet on July 29th.. When we weighed him in ..He weighed 86 pounds !! He's very healthy, and the procedure went without a hitch. Our Vet for 30 years mentioned a study completed recently says big dogs live longer if kept lean. He thought Nanuq had a little fat layer going on. Then his reg. doctor came in to see him and was asked his opinion. He said " Hi moose!" Checked him and said " No problem, he's fine!" Both Dr.'s think he is coming along fine and is very well socialized with a great personality.

The love & care you gave these little guys before they were adopted was so apparent once we had them. It has been quite an eventful year with Chinook & Nanuq. Every day that goes by they creep into our hearts a little more. They are truly special animals. Our backyard isn't quite as nice as it once was (they like to dig) & our window screens don't look so good--- but we wouldn't trade them for the world. We have a jillion stories...we'll have to gather our thoughts & write some down for you. Most recently Mike & I took Nanuq to work with us for a day. He stayed in the office with me & greeted all visitors & workers with ease. He loved every minute of being the center of so much attention. He would often peer out the window by standing up on his back two feet...his height standing up makes him quite a site...people were pleasantly surprised as to how friendly he was. My office was covered in white fur by noon. They spend large parts of each day playing with each other. They speak the same language of play. They love to mouth each other & nibble on back legs but all in fun. They are great pals.

Nanuq has yellow eyes & only a taste of pink on his nose. Nanuq is I'm guessing he's about 130.
