More Snow Videos

Photos for Matt

So this was me trying to get a few photos of me and the dogs for Matt. They've gained almost 5 lbs since he left and are starting to get the long and lean look of a German Shepherd Dog. It was interesting with the camera on timer. I had a treat in my hand and was trying to make them sit and focus on the treat in front of them, but all they wanted to do was chase my hand around. Haha! What fun:)

Fun in the Snow

I guess you could say this was their 1st experience in the snow, but really it was sleet and ice. They seemed to like it though. Something about it made them really hyper.

Our Random March Snow Storm


The dogs really love playing in the snow. They bounce around so much it's hard to get a good still photo, but I managed a few. Spice gets really hyper and bounces around trying to pounce on the snow and Swagger was ever so cautious until he knew everything was OK. I've been noticing that about him more and more. He has to check things out thoroughly before he relaxes and has fun.

Focus and Down

The dogs know a bunch of commands now! They pick up on things very quickly and are egar to learn even at 9 weeks old. They aren't perfect every time, but they try their best to please us. And as always they are the cutest!

We're growing up!

Everyday these little guys get bigger and bigger. Spice's ears and feet continue to grow much faster then the rest of her body. And Swagger's ears finally decided to stand up again although one is still crooked. We don't mind though, it gives him character! Spice is getting very tall, long and lean like a pretty little lady and Swagger puts on a pound of muscle everyday. You can really tell the difference when you play with each separately. Spice is very gentle and inquisitive and Swagger really just wants to play tug with everything. And he can put up a very good fight!

House

The house is coming along quite nicely. We've made a few changes and are enjoying decorating slowly, but surely!

7 1/2 Weeks

Hey all, I know it's been a while since I've posted! Things have been moving quickly around the Lund house. Work has been picking up for me and the dogs are growing quickly and becoming quite a handful. These are a few pics from a couple weeks ago when we took them out to the field to run around.
Matt leaves for IFS in Colorado tomorrow morning so I'm a little stressed out about taking care of the dogs alone. I know eventually we'll get into a rhythm and everything will go smoothly, but the first few days will be a little bumpy. They're just so used to having Matt home all day everyday that I'm afriad they'll be upset when I'm gone for a few hours in the morning and evening 3 days of the week. It's really only 4 hours at a time and I have some people lined up to help me let them out, but I just worry...kinda like a Mom I guess. I have plans to take one with me mid morning and run him/her out by where I work. That way when I get home at least I'll have one tuckered out.
It's been a little more work since we decided to keep them separate for most of the time until they are a little older and have bonded with us as opposed to each other. That's probably why I'm a little stressed out. But we've seen major positive differences in the dogs since we split them up. It's easier when there's two people juggling the two puppies, but like I said I'm sure we'll get in a routine and everything will go smoothly after the first few days. It's also helped that we've been able to give them more play time together recently. Anyway, enjoy the next few posts. Video's are proving a little easier to catch the puppies in since they rarely sit still (at least for Swagger, Spice likes her photo op time). I hope you notice how big they've gotten even in the last few weeks. I see changes everyday and it's amazing how fast they're growing! Enjoy!

Swagger

Our friends Michelle and Dan (they live down the street) have a 1 year old huskie, Toby. He's HUGE!! But he's also a blast to play with and is so good with the puppies. Michelle and I like to walk the dogs together. They're learning great things from Toby!

The Swag needed a bath the other night and we couldn't resist a tubby picture.

This is from a while ago. If you listen in the background you can hear how windy it is (it's always that way) and toward the end you can hear some planes fly overhead. Sometimes the dogs will sit outside in the backyard and just watch the planes fly by. True USAF puppies:)
