Anything new? Where oh where to begin! I'm so glad you're back and hope you'll stick around now. I read your Axel post, so we will be excited to see pictures.
Here's some photos of my little Axel ♥
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! What a cutie pie!! I love the ears. And such a sweet little face and intelligence just zooming out of his eyes! How big is he now and how big will he get?
He should be about 13lbs now-- he was 12 lbs and a few ounces last week.
His mom is a Belgian Malinois:

And his father is a Blue Heeler (A.K.A. Australian Cattle Dog):

I wonder how the mating happened LOL
The vet says he should be between a large sized dog and a medium sized dog. Somewhere between 70-90lbs max.
He has some big paws on him so I'm guessing this is going to be a big boy.
He is very smart, he knows a few commands, sit, down, and stay with hand signals.
We have such a great bond already, I can't wait to grow old with this guy.
Here he is practicing sit and stay at the park.
I noticed his huge paws right away! I suspect you chose the pick of the litter (and he chose the perfect mom)! I really like his coloring too. Heck, maybe I'll give up my four cats and get a pup like Axel. (Pssst, don't tell my cats I said that.)
It's okay to take him out to the park? I'm thinking parvo. (I read the Dog threads, so I know that's a huge concern for young pups.)
He is super cute. Reminds me of my little mutt Sienna, with inverses colors... maybe she has some of his heritage...
My vet gave me the okay to take him out to the park. I don't let him meet strange dogs yet so I usually go when the park is empty or I go the other direction if I see a dog coming my way. He only has his first set, his second set is next week.Quote:

Parvo is something that does scare me because it can go from dog-dog dog-cat! I would lose two pets!
Keeping him on lockdown in my home wouldn't be a good idea-- most because he has that issue where he's scared of everything so the more people he meets the more he's coming out of his shell, the more sounds and cars and squirrels and birds he notices the more he's becoming confident. The first day it took me 15 minutes to just get him out of the house with the leash, now it takes me a few seconds and off we go!
The last thing I want is a dog with fear aggression-- YIKES!
All we can handle are fish. I'm not great with animals, but I have the sense to know it!
Awwww, fish! Post a picture of the tank! Do they have names?
Axel is a beauty!
Muddy, Axel is adorable.
I am glad things are working out for you. I hope you find a job soon. How is R?
She's awesome, going to French Immersion-- she's adjusted to school very well-- even has been class leader a few times. She's happy with the pup not so much about him running away with her toys or the occasional attempt at herding her HAQuote:

2- "Do peoples have to stay girls and boys forever or can they switch?"
She's also become quite the deep thinker asking me questions about death (in her mind people die at 100-- and I'll just let her keep thinking that), and questioning about poor children. She's already donated some of her toys to one of those mission places and has tried to send her food in the mail-- lol don't know how her little 5 year old brain but that together but when I found food stuffed in an envelope in my mailbox it was the sweetest and funniest thing... she tried to write "to the hungry kids" but it ended up looking like gibberish.
She's a great kid, very happy still. Of course she has her "no" moods where she thinks she can tell me what to do.. but other than that no complaints :)
Here's a few photos so you get to see how much she's grown!!
We have Monarch, who is a dwarf gourami, Roger, Phinneaus, Ferb, Angel 2, and Boo Radley, who are mollies, and Harold, Sally, and Francine, the triplet tank suckers. We also have about 30 baby mollies in a breeding trap right now. The clueless teenager @ Petsmart told us that mollies were beginner fish. She neglected to tell us that the things breed like crazy, can have babies for three months in a row with no male in the tank, and are live-bearers, so we are finding babies almost every day. Of course, the fish have NO parental instinct, so we have lost some to "natural selection". They have almost doubled in size, we we have started to find homes for them.
As annoyed as I am to have so many ( and Ferb and Boo Radley are pregnant again), I don't want to just give them away to people who don't know how to properly maintain an aquarium for them. I've gotten a little attached to them.
She's a cutie Muddy! Love the pup pics too... :)
New puppy and fish... do we need a pets page started?. :)
Fish! I had a beta for a whole year! And then he died a month ago-- went belly up. I did feel a little sadness in my heart.. only because he actually would get happy to see me when it was feeding time-- he would swim around in circles and up and down. I would talk to him. Now there's a new fish I'm not fond of that replaced him :( I called him "Chump"-- I still feed him and stuff... but he's no Rainbow.
*... and thanks Doula!
Well, I've got LOTS of mollies!
Muddy, she is beautiful. I can't believe how much she has grown.
It sounds like she has your intelligence as well as your looks. :)
You're doing a great job.
We do have the thread for pet pictures if anyone is interested: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/lounge/pictures-our-pets-416334.html
