Travis and Xena Pictures (Things just keep getting better!)

[3GSDMom]

These two are getting along great. I had my dad help me with them in the front yard. They just kind of sniffed eachother and then proceeded to ignore eachother. After a little bit in the front yard we decided to move them into the backyard. At first I kept them both on leashes until I felt comfortable with them running around together. Eventually the leashes came off and they did great! I even got a video of them playing together. They had a blast. And definetly tired eachother out. lol.
I am being very cautious and watching their body language closely. Obviously I'm doing something right because they are hitting it off

Ah, I could see plainly in the photos that these dogs were new to each other. I failed to read your post before looking at them and went back to read it to see if they were actually new to each other.

They seem to be doing fine though. The vid of them was funny. I so miss having my Jess and Mist when they were young. Now Mist is gone and Jess is 13, it isn't the same. I'll be getting another pup soon so I'll get to have an active lunatic again and see some proper playing like with yours.

[BCollie_Kelly]

Aww, such great pictures! Glad to see they're getting along so well!

[3GSDMom]

Yes, they are still getting used to eachother, which is why playtime has been kept to about an hour a day (its not nonstop play) and is very closely supervised. I am right there at all times to step in when I'm needed. So far I haven't had to step in too much. They enjoy eachothers company and I can tell they are happy to finally have playmates. (Travis lives with two other dogs, but they are smaller than him so they don't play with him)

[Canis-Lupess]

Yeah I know our Jess would never accept another adult dog but she has accepted pups before so I know she'll be able to accept another. She'd have to be closely watched though because I reckon she'd do some bullying to make sure the new pup knew where it stood. Our Mist used to be the one to do it and Jess didn't have to because the pups always made a beeline for Mist and ignored our Jess who was happy to be left alone but Mist never hurt a pup and used to get quite motherly and protective of them after the initial bullying phase. Still, I would never want to leave them unsupervised until I knew they were used to each other.

Aww look how much fun she is having! She looks so happy you "rescued" her. What a lucky girl.

I like the video. It's always nice to have a pair that help each other burn off energy. Keep up the good work.

Oh yes! This is the first time that Travis is truly tired from playing. Though I bet if I took him out right now he'd be ready for round two.

[luvofallhorses]

they both are gorgeous and Xena looks so happy and content!!

[Kalei]

Aw those pictures and that video was so adorable! I just loved watching them run around like that lol, and poor Xena couldn't catch up to Travis. I can tell they will be the best of friends

[3GSDMom]

It was so cute watching them. Xena just couldn't catch up to Travis! Poor thing was getting so frustrated that he wouldn't go easy on her.

Yippee!! More Pictures!
Oh they look like they will be lifelong friends!
You've done such a wonderful thing for her!
And she knows it!

I love the picture of Travid showing her where the mud puddle is!
Guess he's ready to share everything with her!

[buttercup132]

Wow she looks so much happier!

Hopefully the owner will see how much they like eah other and how everyone loves her and let you keep her
