So, this is a bit ironic. The more time the boys spend here, the more I figure out I don’t know. LOL For instance, I don’t even know if I started off calling them by the right name. The person who helped my husband when he picked them up on Monday told him that the boy with the white blaze was Schouzy. As of Tues., I think that the person may have been wrong.

The reason is that the records from the vet said that “The Bear” was neutered. Since I thought that this was the bigger, older boy…I never confirmed this, till Tues., when my husband could help me. Upon inspection, the larger boy is intact. Since the vet records didn’t say one way or the other if Schouzy was neutered, I’m now wondering if the bigger boy is Schouzy and the smaller one The Bear.

You might think that they would make it easier on me by responding well to the correct name, but no. The boy with the blaze on his face responds to just about anything you call him, and the bigger boy responds when he feels like it, regardless of what you are calling. hehe

Anyway, even though I’m not positive about the dog’s names, I am finding out more about them. The smaller boy thinks that the best entertainment in the world is to run and bark at vehicles driving down the road. The bigger boy thinks that the most fun thing he can do, is chase the faster younger boy and bark. LOL Here’s a little video of what they look like in the front yard.

Grooming is also progressing, albeit slowly. The smaller boy is nearly done being brushed out, and I think I finally got through all the mats in his coat. Yay! While trimming the extra long hair on his paws today, I found that he seems to have double dewclaws on the rear legs. It’s bizarre. The bigger boy still has some more brushing to endure, and then both should be ready for a bath. I don’t think that either one of them is ready to go out and shop for personalized thank you gifts for me for all the grooming that they are getting this week, but that’s ok. I think when I’m done and I get to take some better pictures of them that will be all the thanks I need.

The two Sheltie boys from Cedar City are here. I thought I was going to transport them straight up to Salt Lake today, but I guess I misunderstood. It’s going to work out better for Sheltie Rescue if they stay here for another week. So in the meantime, I figure I’d post some pictures so you’ll know who I’m talking about if I post about them later this week.

The boys have weird names, at least in my opinion. The bigger boy is named “The Bear” according to the vet records. His age is undetermined right now, but he appears to be older than the other boy.

The smaller, boy is named “Schouzy” I thought maybe it meant something, but my google search didn’t give me anything, so I don’t know if it’s just a made up name or what. He is 5 years old.

Both boys are just very sweet.  They haven’t caused a bit of trouble here.  Schouzy reminds me so much of Twist in his personality.  He is just fun loving and friendly and wonderful.  Both boys are overweight, though I don’t think you can really tell in these pictures.  Schouzy weighs in at 32 lbs, and he’s about Twist’s height.  Twist when he’s soaking wet is rarely 20 lbs.  The Bear is a little taller, but not a whole lot, probably somewhere around 16 1/2 or 17 in. tall and he weighs 41 lbs.  Both of them could really use some diet pills that really work. Other than that though, they both seem to be in pretty good shape and I hope that they find their new permanent homes soon.
