swortz 51 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Atticus (8 months old) and Scout (yes, both characters from "To Kill a Mockingbird") got together this afternoon for some romping in Scout's back yard. Atticus (the red one) was born March 20, 2015, and I think Scout was a June pup. Scout's human, Ann, was awesome to meet, and she said Kim predicted these dogs would seem to know each other, though they had never met. Couldn't have been more true - they were like old friends and connected immediately and played non-stop for 45 minutes until they were both worn out. Atticus is doing great; the occasional piddles are more more occasional, but now that he's got grown-up-dog teeth AND a puppies desire to chew, he's destructive if we haven't provided alternatives AND policing to prevent things. He's a champ on the leash and loves long walks, but the sights (umbrellas are TERRIFYING) and loud sounds of the big city have him more skittish than I like. Still, and amazing companion, and a beloved member of the family.

Sherab 2,337 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Beautiful dogs, great shots. Love the drinking from the bird bath. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allison 2,369 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Same same. Those photos are so happy. Great moments. When you mentioned the sounds of the big city, it resonated with me. I have spent so much time in our small town and the woods, that I see our dog is as unnerved by the city as I am. I decided to take the time with the next pup, to try and get him to be calm in the city. Might help me, too. Again, spectacular photos. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 2,662 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Fabulous photos. I love to see the pups as they grow into the beautiful adult dogs. Thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tervlab 152 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Met Scout last weekend...She had a couple of play dates with our Belgian...They had a High Speed Blast! We are on the list for a pup & will likely be going down next weekend to check out all the pups (and hopefully bring one home)...We can hardly wait. Would love to get together with our pups & Atticus & Scout. You talk about them "knowing" each other as if old friends...we ran into another couple at 1000 acres with another male and the same thing happened...Scout & Jed (the other AI Dog) bonded & played like they had been "old friend". It was crazy. Anyhow, great pictures. Hope to meet you soon. BTW, we may go out to 1000 acres again this weekend sometime with Scout... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ricklillie 51 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Great photography for constant moving pups. Scout and Atticus sure get along and they sure have a lot of energy. I am currently on the waiting list to get a AI pup. It is good to see these dogs in action. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
