His fluffy ears are so cute! Libby seems happy with her new brother (love her curly tail). It will be interesting to see how Franklin's colour develops.

Right!? So fluffy and cute lol and oh she loves him! But she plays quite rough and of course they are worried for him but also think she needs to learn to stop when told so kind of yell at her to stop playing when they're outside but they'll figure it out. Sje like bites him and tackles him and stuff lol and Libby really is kind of annoying sometimes, doesn't know when to stop playing even with adult dogs. But I tried to say yelling at her won't do it but they're still new, concerned/overprotective parents lol I will work to try to teach her a command or something for stop so she doesn't need to get in trouble but yeah. But they do let them play some and they were out for hours before I got there. She doesn't quite understand the sharing thing yet. She is not aggressive at all but she's confused about why he is in her bed, etc. And Franklin steals all of her toys and sticks like a typical little brother LOL but she just lets him. But she steals some of his toys too. Typical siblings lol although it's kind of funny. Most things you read online say that the puppy can annoy the older dog and to watch them/help the older dog by distracting the puppy if they get too annoying. Well with them it's the opposite. Libby keeps harassing Franklin and won't let him sleep because she wants to play constantly. :lau but they'll figure it out. Libby is still just super excited to have a brother, she'll calm down, and they're gonna let them out separate some, crate him sometimes, etc. So he gets a break.

Anyway, yeah, it really will be interesting to see how he develops! She thought he might be part Golden but then one sibling was black and white.

And Libby's tail just curled one day. It's so cute lol

Google says Belton is correct.


Exactly since that dog is a cross of who knows what but probably not what they were told.


Check with your tax accountant ;)
Don't know exactly but DD's are still on ours.

I think ours at 23 & 25 are under the:
"Rules for Claiming Other Relatives and Unrelated Persons" section.
Not sure what happens next year (2019 tax year) if DD1 goes off to university in January since she wouldn't be living in our house. 10 hours one way is a LONG daily commute ;)

Not a commute at that distance, it is a trip!

Exactly! Theyre like Libby stop it, enough/body blocking then then getting louder when she doesn't like i told you enough/to stop it, listen to me, etc. Um, first she doesn't know what you are asking or saying and second you brought home a cute puppy and expect her to NOT play with him!? They do play though but I hink they're just worried he needs to rest cause it's only his second day home but yeah. Also they're like how else do you do it? Its the only way now, people have been being too nice to her. Um teach a command? I will work on that with her. But they really don't yell at her that much but I just don't think it will accomplish anything. Especially in that situation where she's so excited and overaroused that yelling is just gonna excite her more. I have a plan though

They have to realise too that Libby is still a puppy brain wise even if she isn't size wise. Our dog wasn't mentally mature until she was around 3 years old. She would've done exactly what Libby is doing with a puppy when young, but she's very good with annoying puppies now. Dogs do play rough and you do need to separate them when you can see one has had enough.

Yeah exactly! I think she was just so good as a puppy too, didn't get into anything, learned fast, etc. That now they like expect her to be perfect or assume she "knows" and is just being "naughty" or whatever. But she's really not. And yeah, I totally get that but the puppy was really into it too but they just I guess like wanted her to learn or wanted to practice or something? But that's not it lol also I think she just needs to meet more dogs and/or go to daycare. Cause the whole thing is basically oh we're not worried about him but she doesn't know when to stop/we're worried she will hurt herself, etc. Okay, 1. She's not stupid, if she's tired or in pain she will stop. She stops playing with me and lays down when she's hot or tired, and 2. I think the best and really only way to learn that is to play with other dogs and THEY will tell her when they've had enough. Granted, she's not the best at reading dog body language so I'm not saying start a dog fight or something but yelling at her is not going to teach her to stop playing or stop being rough. It's just gonna teach her when these crazy people yell at me I maybe need to stop but otherwise I can be wild. She should learn to self regulate. Maybe I will try telling them that.
