Have you met the new guy?

Several of you have reached out to ask how Ramble (Rambo wasn't working well) was settling in.  I am amazed at how quickly he has adapted to a new home and how well Monty and Harlow have taken to him.

Of course, we do have some new dog "things" to work through.  We haven't quite established a potty habit with him, he is an extreme counter surfer and we had to do some very quick puppy proofing in the house, and we've had one incident (which will remain unspoken of) that required a dose of hydrogen peroxide to make him throw up what he had eaten.

Monty's comments are shown in red, Harlow's in purple, and Ramble's comments will be green.

So to answer some of the questions we've been asked...

How are Monty and Harlow doing with Ramble?  Both of them have taken to Ramble very well!  Harlow, of course, gets along with everyone and has found that as long as she keeps her play gentle, she has a sparring buddy who is willing to play 24/7.  Monty has even been seen playing with Rambo and has already taught him some of his worldly wisdom, like how to eat raspberries off of the bushes.  Monty does not have Harlow's aversion to fruits and vegetables.
There’s something odd about da new guy…
Da Harlow loves her new little brother…
Hi?
 How old is he and does he act like a puppy?  Ramble is about 18 months old and sometimes he acts like a puppy.  Right now he has discovered that people loving is what it is all about and spends a great deal of his days seeking it.  He has some amazing quirks though - he is a talker.  He moans when we aren't loving on him and beeps when he feels confused or lost.   
Something seriously different about him…
Da Harlow loves da brothers…
Beep…
Does he know his manners?  Yes and no.  He sits, I'm working on stay, down is hard on him because he doesn't like hard surfaces and Aaron and I are both working on his recall, which is easy right now because he craves attention.  Like I mentioned before, he is a terrible counter surfer and we've had some issues with that.
I can’t quite put my paw on it…
Da Harlow is happy he is here…
Beep beep…
He adores Aaron and me, and wants to be where we are.  I've noticed if I disappear from him, or go somewhere where he didn't see me go, he panics.  I'll hear his sad moans and know I need to call him.  He looks up to Aaron, though, and does his best to keep both of us happy with him.
What am I missing?
Da Harlow can keep dis smile up all day…
Dad ❤
 We are so happy he is here with us!  Thanks for everyone who have reached out to give him welcoming hugs and happy thoughts, and also for the suggestions on how to help his coat grow out.  I've ordered a few products and will definitely look into all of them.  We aren't sure anything will grow, but we are going to try. 
Must not be important…
Iz dat a treat, da Momma?
New people friends….

  3. You are doing so well with him! When we got Abby she wasn't vocal at all - it was great to see her come out of her shell and start "talking" a little. Best to you and your newest family member!

  5. Crikey ... It was meant to be, aye?? He fits in so well and he looks more like a Ramble to me than a Rambo. Good decision on the name change. I too was a counter surfer until one day Mum set me up. She left food on the bench top and went out the front door. Unbeknowns to me Dad was hiding in the walk in pantry and when I jumped up to get the food he jumped out of the pantry and half scared me to death. I've never touched anything on the benches EVER again. They could leave a BBQ chook there and I wouldn't touch it.

  9. Congrats on the new pup! Ramble is adorable, he sounds a bit like our new cuddle bug. Relic is reforming surfer & 2 year old goofy puppy. :)Love the way all 3 of them look at the camera, Harlow's smile in the last pic is too cute. :)

  10. Well I certainly missed the new addition. Congrats on the new one. As for growing a coat. I was going down in hair on my chest and my skirt was getting thin. My vet said try that hair on a door knob recipes. Lee got the stuff mixed it up and my chest got all hairy. So we believe in that and coconut oil.
    Glad Ramble is fitting into the family.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog

  12. Sweet post of the trio. So great to see the new guy fitting in. Perhaps he should be called Rambler. Since rambler is another name for a plant that grows up and over walls, etc.,, and he goes up and over counters...
