Our Mutt House Realistic, Relatable look at life with multiple dogs

I think its time I just take the legs off the couch 😂

We were off to a really good start. June knew just what I wanted her to do, and then realized the bike was chasing her and panicked.

She trotted alongside the bike staying as far away as she could for the remainder of the ride.

I probably should have held her back and kept her going slower off the start, but thats okay. She'll learn the bike is not scary.

"See how that works with a high drive working dog"

I have. Ive also tried it with siberian huskies, mastiffs, bullys, a Newfoundland, shepherds, a GSP, and my weird little mixed dog.

Of all the dogs ive had and fostered, the Belgian Malinios was the easiest to train and the smartest ive worked with.

And before someone says - she was a kennel neurotic, adolescent, undersocialized, reactive, bitey dog. So not an easy dog in the slightest. But easy train.

I genuinely don't understand why malinois and shepherds are the "test" for someone being a good dog trainer, when honestly it should be huskies or sighthounds, or other dogs who were bred not to rely on humans.

PS. Easy to train and easy to live with are generally 2 VERY different things.

I actually dropped my keys on this dog park trip thanks to the hole Nova ate in my jacket pocket when I accidentally left some treats in there lol.

She found these ones so easily because it was really windy.

How should I challenge her next time?

Its been a minute since you've seen any bikejoring content.

Theres a reason for that, as much as I hate to admit it, Oscar is starting to slow down.

He's getting older and slower, our rides have become alot more relaxed and chill, and I haven't really been filming them as much.

Don't worry, he still gets to go bikejoring and running! And we will hopefully continue as long as he is able to

June is really shaping up to be quite the adventure buddy and im so grateful.

She is an excellent traveller in the vehicle, shes always down to do whatever, whereever, she does well off leash and stays moderately close by.

She is a little too brave at times and I have to tell her not to yeet herself off the side of the mountain, but I think she'll get that figured out.

She got her very first collar that wasn't a hand me down just in time for our latest hike. Its biothane from .palette

I caved and ordered myself some snowshoes from based on some recommendatioms so hopefully those will be here before our next hike 🤞

I havent done much winter hiking before this year so slowly stocking up on all the gear to make it easier for me and June.

Tried a little something different with my photography with Nova and the the other week.

Editing was tough, not quite as good as I'd like them to be, but its really hard to capture the dog and the train together in thr dark using just my phone for the lighting 😅

Ive got some exciting ideas and things to try for next year though!

8 years later, and so much is different, but so much is the same.

Ive had the privilege of sharing my life with 3 other dogs in addition to Nova (and 5 fosters).

Nova and I are both very different than we were so many years ago, yet still enjoy a good run around in the snow catching snowballs.

Seeing Oscar and Nova start to slow down as they enter their senior year's has been tough, and filling me with alot of anticipatory grief. But there are these little moment of joy over silly little things, like Nova still love catching a snow ball ❤️

In case youre wondering what to get me for Christmas im a size 3-5 acres.

But really just for fun, these are some things I would buy if I somehow had more money than I do at the current point in time.

Inside the brain of a bird dog 😅

Genetics are so cool and I love when June points. This is what I imagine her brain sounds like while pointing.
