Yes, his ears are SO much better; still not 100%, but better!

So today was Lexi's birthday… And because Miles's history is a mystery, we decided that he will celebrate his Barroooo day with Lexi on April 9th. Today Lexi was 6 and we say Miles is 8. For their birthday, hubby took the kids to Great Falls to go hiking. I think they enjoyed it; what do you think?? :)

These are beautiful pics!…they must love the hiking because they look so serene :) And it looks like your hubby uses the coupler. Do they walk well together??

Sometimes they walk well together.
The coupler works well if we're on a trail or jogging.
If we take them out just to do "business", it's a disaster- they have too much time to sniff and end up pulling each other in every direction possible!!
But otherwise, yes, it's a great gadget for us! -

Not the best video, and the quality certainly diminished when I put it online, but thought you guys might enjoy it anyways… :)

Very sweet. Your dogs must be well behaved and not run off. I need to work on Dash's recall first.

I think it's more that we know our dogs well enough to know when they'll stay with us and when we know they could run into a dangerous situation. We don't let them off every where… just places we feel they will stick with us and where they have to possibility of getting hit by a car. :)

BDawg, I will keep your story of Miles in mind when I get my rescue dog Cody later in May. I'll learn from your experience!
I love the poem. It is so true of rescue people like my friend who found Cody.

So Daddy left yesterday for a business trip… which usually means the kids think the teacher's left the room.
So I'm in the shower and I hear this bumping around. I peek my head out only to find Miles has ingeniously propped the bathroom trash can open with the empty toilet paper roll he found inside. He's having a free-for-all with the contents and the more I scold him, the faster he runs!! Little devil! He ears turned back like horns as he knew he was up to no good!! Shame on him! I swear, Daddy goes away and he turns into a Gremlin! ;)
Took the kids on a run when we got home on the splitter; they actually did pretty well. Hopefully Miles will be too tired to get into the trash the rest of the night!! :)

So here are a few random facts about Miles…
1. He is an opportunist. He will wait for THE second you aren't looking and then immediately bolt for something he knows he's not supposed to have-- like the trash. Or counter-surf. And really waits for the second you walk out of the room or the very second he thinks the coast is clear to dash and get whatever.
2. When he's not up to no good, he sits with his back to you like a little lion guarding the gates. He is motionless while he stands guard.
3. He enjoys q-tips and long walks on the sidewalk.
4. He doesn't mind getting his paws a little dirty.
5. One of his favorite things is hitting the door stops... booooiiiiiinnnnnnggggg!
6. His head is too big to fit through the railing on the balcony. He has to live vicariously through Lexi's eyes.
7. He will try anything to get to sleep under the covers with you.
8. He gets hip hiccups sometimes.
9. He WILL talk for chicken jerkey.
10. He is a handsome little devil who is either really good or really bad. There is no grey for him. An exquisite extreme, I know.
He is my beautiful disaster!! :) I love him!

I'm so glad that you and Miles have found each other. Miles has become the handsome prince he was meant to be.
