Update! *Royal + Brock + Alki* [30 pics]

[pessimisaurus]

Well its been a while since Ive been on PT! Life gets crazy sometimes and thats just how it goes I guess. Ive missed seeing everyone's gorgeous doggy faces though!

Royal is now 8 months old, and has been growing and growing so I figured Id post some photos of him from the last few months. Brock & Alki will make an apperance as well.

Some Royal news:
+ turned 8 months on Sept 1st
+ was neutered in July (phew!)
+ is FINALLY potty trained! lol (can hold it for 8 hrs in the crate now, and can have his full crate space now without the divider. he will also hold it through the night when loose in the livingroom)
+ knows sit, down, stay, wait, recall, heel, (lay on) side, and.. thats about it. *g* he has near perfect manners though, (he is still a husky, and still a puppy lol he finds mischief daily, and definitely keeps me on my toes) and Im able to bring him to work with me everyday and he just sleep in my office whether Im in there or not (he used to cry when left alone)
+ Is in training to be a delta society pet partner AAA therapy dog, and earn his CGC

I took Royal hiking for the first time a few weeks ago, it was about 6 miles and was a challenge for him but he loved it. Then we went again on Labor Day for over 9 miles (we took the wrong trail by accident! it was supposed to be only 6 miles lol) and he did great! He loves it.

These are pics from our Labor Day hike:

Here are some nice photos I got at the dog park a few weeks ago. I borrowed my dad's telephoto lens, and we went near sunset so the lighting was gorgeous.

Nice to see some new pictures of your three! I can't even begin to describe how beautiful I think Royal is - what a gorgeous dog. Alki and Brock are looking as great as always too!

ETA: I also wanted to tell you that I love the orca pictures on your Flickr pages. They're absolutely beautiful. I'd love to go orca watching someday, they're my favourite animal.

[buttercup132]

*Sniff Sniff* Our little boy is so grown up now! He looks like a wolf in alot of those pictures.

Alki is so sweet looking and she always looks so happy.

And mr.Brock he sure seems to love that ball.

Thanks everyone! It is good to be back for sure.

Orangutango:
Thank you! The whale watching trip was so amazing. We got lucky seeing those Orca. We had to travel all the way up to Victoria, BC from LaConnor, WA in a tiny (but fast lol) boat to see them. And apparently they were "transient" orca meaning they just roam around I guess. So we were lucky they were there because they said our resident Orca had gone out to sea for the past few days!

[Alysser]

Wow, you take AMAZING shots! You should be a pet photographer. I can't believe how big Royal has gotten. All the pups are gorgeous though. I love your gang!

[pessimisaurus]

Thank you, and I know it seems like he has grown so fast!! I now long for the days he could sleep in my arms!

[wolf_Q]

W :eek: W! Royal is stunning! I'm totally stealing him. Well, first you have to take me hiking to those beautiful waterfalls, then I'll steal him. ;) Brock and Alki are very beautiful too, I really love all of your pups! It's nice seeing you back again! :)
