Thank you Jane!! I had to include that stalking series, since i didn't on the last set of pics, it was just too funny not to include the whole set. Sofie is like a little dog vs a puppy They do provide me with a lot of entertainment!!

Love those pictures and I can definitely see the "little dog" as opposed to "puppy" ... "lots of entertainment" yeh, I bet!!

Second picture, is that a water tank or an oil tank in the background??

Thank you Al!! to be honest, this area was rich in cotton and other types of farming/ranching, so I thought it was an old grain silo, like you see up north, or like you said a water tank. Around here the oil tanks are shaped different, but I may be wrong. I'm pretty sure hubs said it was a grain silo.

Softie has grown so much Renee. I love that second pic, too cute. Love the fourth and fifth ones from the bottom too, like inseparable buds they are getting along great.

Happy Thanksgiving Renee

Yaay more MiSo pics! Sofie looks so cute hiding under Miya on that 7th pic
And then the attack picture wow that was unexpected since the one before that she was just chillin with a stick lol Whenever I see pics of them walking next to each other and can only see their backs I'm like..one day Sofie is gonna be the size of Miya and they will be even..one day

Thank You Jimmy!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!! Those are my favorites too. Sofie is almost too big to fit under the couch, haha, her den when she isn't in her crate, which is Miya's den too. She discovered that she can walk underneath Miya, haha, it is quite amusing since she does this while they are playing, walk under Miya to hide from Miya, lol. Miya is incredibly good with Sofie, and when playing she is always watchful of her feet, Miya has never stepped on Sofie, drag her by the scruff yes, step on her in close quarter play, never. I'm really happy getting Sofie, it really has made a difference to Miya, she is no longer lonely. The absolute best part of having the 2, getting the rambunctious doggy kisses to wake me up, I now laugh when waking up for the day, there's nothing better.

Dave, thank you, and I love the MiSo nickname, love it!! Yes not too long from now Sofie will be the size of Miya. In fact that is one reason why I went with Sofie's mom and dad and not wait on his other pairing, Sofie's mom is just a little bigger than Miya, so our guestimate is Sofie will be within an inch of Miya's height and about 10 pounds heavier, that is if Sofie decides to slow down in the eating department, haha. Yes, the innocent stick chewing to the stalk and pounce pics, lol, this happens several times a day, in fact several times while we are out in each outing, lol. Miya can be more puppy than Sofie, haha, I think everything worked out the best possible way it could. Sofie is so used to being pounced on by Miya, that she looks out for Miya when Sofie and I play fetch, since all the balls are Miya's, it's just the funniest.

LOL Renee, I know the "walking under" very well, Mishka still does it to Kohdi, hahaha, it's funny cuz she's bigger now so she'll go under Kohdi and then I see Kohdi's hind end go up in the air, lol.

The way you are describing things is so familiar to me after I got Mishka for Kohdi and i am so happy about that for you Renee, but what I'm happiest about is how you are noticing that side of Miya that only Sofie could bring out in her, it's awesome isn't it! I've always said a dog could live a happy, fulfilling life solo, but adding another brings out a side of them that only another dog can bring out, it's so amazing...and fun to watch!

@Dave...the MiSo nickname is awesome!

Jimmy, it is special. I would have never thought it would be, growing up we never had multiple dogs in house, so that experience/ this experience is so new and rewarding. The house is no longer quiet. That was the hard thing for Miya and myself when Kitana passed away, the quietness. I love how full of life the house is now, the way they make me laugh, the love they have for eachother and the love they have for me, it's just awesome!!

I can totally see Mishka flipping Kohdi's butt in the air, lmao

Sofie is adorable Renee! Miya looks great! She looks so happy. I'm glad Miya and her are growing so close! That picture of Sofie standing under Miya reminds me of the one Jane posted a little while back ago with Miya standing under Memphis lol. It's awesome having two and watching them interact with each other!

Haha Renee, "quiet" is a thing of the past now, LOLOL.

im so happy for you!

Thanks Casey. I totally forgot about Janes pic, you're right. It is the cutest thing. The dynamics shift, and for the better when you go from 1 to 2. It makes the first one go from happy to elated when you get the second.

Jimmy, yup They both were napping and now up and playing again. I think it is the funniest thing, Miya brings her tugs to me, and I say take your tugs to Sofie, and she trots over and shoves the tugs in Sofie's face, haha. I think my husband has resolved the fact that the house will never be quiet again. They both have a huge vocabulary, that just goes on and on and on......

Oh Renee I think it's a German Shepherd thing to look less like a puppy and more like a little dog Cora started looking like a dog pretty fast as well! This pictures are so cute Sofie is a total princess I can just tell! <3 all of you make having two sounds amazing! I'm happy Miya is not lonely any more!

Renee - that is so our experience when Archer is here. In and out, bouncing, tugging, chasing...lots and lots and lots of chasing!!! Makes for a joyous household Glad your two are so companionable.

Thank you Zoe. To be honest, it is great having two, but it is all in the timing. I don't think Miya would have done as well with Sofie had we done this when Miya was any younger. Miya is just as much a princess as Sofie, Miya needed the time to mature some. I will never be a one dog household again, haha.

Thank you Amy. They are best friends for sure. The chasing and wrestling are so much fun to watch. Also the investigating, I love watching the two of them dig a hole together, or investigate something together.

Must be its not in your daffodil bed

For whatever reason, they've dug a hole, complete with at least a dozen bulbs flying...I fill it, they dig it, I fill it...ad infinitum. Now that Thanksgiving is over, tomorrow I'll be hauling a length of chicken wire out and stapling it to the ground.

Brats.

Amy, no flower beds, but I have a very special peach tree, and every time Sofie goes to eat a leaf off, Miya chases her away. My persistence with Miya must have paid off, as in no Miya that's mommy's lol, or Miya just doesn't like eating leaves, lmao.......good luck with the chicken wire, hope you can get it done without the 4 legged assistance, haha.

So Jimmy says I have been stingy on the pics, lol. I average 50 a day, but the last few weeks, the girls have been too fast to get any good ones, haha. Sofie will be 18 weeks old on Monday. She has started the dreadful I need to keep my paws clean in the water dish play, ugh. She has been 100% perfect in the potty department for two weeks now, hmmm, maybe 3 weeks. 0 accidents, yay!! she sleeps through the night, 9:30-6, so more sleep for me, another yay!! which corresponds with her potty, oddly enough. She is a big lover, and on occasion has even taken a few licks on Miya's face, which gives Miya the look of shock, haha. She is more talkative than Miya, how did this happen? She sounds like a bullfrog when she does her grrr, yaps like a hyena when playing with Miya. Moans and groans while sleeping, which sounds like an old man or a ghost, haha. The rest of her sounds are like a pack of coyotes. She puts herself into her crate when she thinks I am going to give her a time out, preemptive discipline. Most importantly she gives Miya and I the valuable noise this house needed. There's never a dull moment, and she has made Miya eat 95% of the time. Lastly, she has discovered how fun zoomies are......pics will be uploaded, as soon as I figure out where I left off, lol.

So for dinner Sofie's 3rd meal is not kibble, the girls get their raw. i hand feed them, and then they get their bones so hubby and I can eat our dinner, no beggars this way. They have to sit and wait, and this is a pic of them waiting.


First few days of December it was cold, like in the 20's at night and upper 30's during the day, we got 7 inches of rain, and this is Miya swimming and prepping for zoomies. Not a great pic, because Sofie hides between my legs when Miya does her zoomies, so she doesn't get rolled, lol.


So I had a series of pics of Miya stalking sofie, this is from a different day, well it happens every day haha, but this is from a different angle. Miya seems pretty innocent watching Sofie....

BUT......


some play pics.....











a quick dose of fall


The never ending stick war


And yes Sofie wins this battle


Watching the world go by


Sofie is such a goofball, she can't figure out what Miya is looking at and can not take it anymore.....


and this my friends was my attempt at Christmas pics, haha. The bells drove Sofie crazy, and Miya decided to tell her to act right for momma, lol....


Whew....sorry for so many pics, and I had probably 50 more I could have added, lol.....until next time.

She is growing so fast! Haha you made me laugh with the stalking pics, serously cute pic of jumping Miya
Soon Miya will be able to stand under Sophie !
The watching the world go but pic is so sweet you got so many good pics i cant even say enough about them all lol glad things are going so well! Maybe have them do a sit wait and have some bones for a xmas pic?? Thanks for sharing Renee

Renee - isn't it wonderful having two? This is my life when Archer is here. And that pic of Miya with Sofie underneath - Archer STILL does that with Ami even though he is less than an inch shorter. Cracks me up every time

Amy it is. Miya needed an all the time buddy. Funny I see Sofie and Miya doing the same things that Ami and Archer do, from the funny stories you tell of them, I always lol, and tried to imagine it, now I get a first hand view. The innocent standing under Miya turns into I am biting your legs Miya, I am grabbing your belly Miya, Hey what's that, your tail, let me chew on that, haha. I LOVE IT!!

The tail thing is my favorite - when Archer is chasing Ami, who seems to be a bit faster and more agile than Archer, sometimes the only thing he can catch is Ami's tail. Then they are zooming around the yard, Ami in front, Archer hangin' on to the tail. Then Ami speeds up and Archer is fast after him...with a mouth full of tail feathers. Then stops for an "acchhh achhh achhh" - like a cat with a hairball

Renee, they are having so much fun together! I love each pic! "Watching the world go by" is one of my favorites, I see my two in that one as well, it always makes me wonder what's going on in those little heads of theirs, haha. The first pic, just as cute as can be, AND I think, the best way to get a great Christmas pic of them . Love the pics Renee, every single one of them

We call it "surveying their domain"

@Amy....Sofie's speed is getting better. she trails behind Miya, but not by much. There will be a day very soon when they are equal in size, and I imagine speed. Sofie has huge paws, lol, at least I am hoping they're big so she can keep up with Miya. Watching their domain works, when they lift their heads up to smell the air, I call it news of the world, haha.

@Jimmy....Thank You!! They are so much fun to watch, so watch with my camera. I love how their markings are similar. I tried to capture that in the pic of them sitting next to each other. I love how one will stalk the other, it varies, sometimes Miya will stalk Sofie, and Sofie is learning to stalk Miya. She is also learning the play bow. I so want to capture them play bowing to each other, it is so cool to see.
