My Birthday Gift - New Dog!

[Kori Ellis]

One of my birthday gifts from LJ is that I'm getting a second dog.

If you don't know the history of my first dog (Deuce AKA Looter) he was a Hurricane Katrina rescued dog that we adopted. He's a black lab about 2 years old. He's super cool but he's very needy. For example, when he's sitting in the room with us, if one of us gets up and leaves, he cries til we come back. Even though the other of us is still next to him. He also has some sort of panic attack when we leave the house. He won't eat or drink the whole time we are gone and just paces around frantically crying. Needless to say, he has some abandonment issues. :lol

Anyway, we are adding a second dog - a male chocolate lab who is 1 year and 3 months old. He belongs to an older lady who doesn't have time for him. So we are going to go pick him up in about an hour.

I will post pictures later.

[Das Texan]

Is this Ace?

How do you go on vacation then? i mean thats sad... have you tried anything to get him to be normal...? someone needs a shrink

[atxrocker]

labs are super cool dogs. our family dog while growing up was a chocolate lab, one of the best dogs i ever had. would love to see pics when you can post em.

[Kori Ellis]

We have not gone on vacation since we've had him. But when we do, we will have someone who he knows stay here.

He's getting a little better as time goes on but still panics a lot. We both work from home, so he hangs with us everyday.

He's also very afraid of water. He doesn't like you to turn on the sink if he's near it or shake a bottle of water around him.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Are you going to name him "Finder"?

[Kori Ellis]

He has a name already. But I'll see if it goes with him or he needs a new one.

No. LJ can force him to take a shower some how.

[angel_luv]

That is wonderful Kori! Congrats :clap I can't wait to meet Ace ( or whatever his final name is.) :)

[Kori Ellis]

Here's some preliminary pictures of the new dog laying outside on our deck.

He and Deuce met and seemed to like each other. But LJ's not home, so I don't have them together right now because I don't want to handle it if they start fighting or something. So he's outside and Deuce is inside.

[Kori Ellis]

I'll post more later tonight of him and Deuce together.

He's 1 year and 3 months old. He has green/yellow eyes. His name is Cooper, but I will probably change it.

[angel_luv]

He is beautiful Kori!

Congrats! :spin

[angel_luv]

Awwww... look at that face! Puppy!

[Kori Ellis]

He's a lot bigger than Deuce. I think Deuce weighs 60 and this one weighs 80.

[Samurai Jane]

He's beautiful, Kori, congratulations!!

[Das Texan]

nice looking dog.


hopefully they take to each other like peas and carrots.

[atxrocker]

nice looking dog. he should provide your other dog with companionship and hopefully improve his being so needy and dependant on you over time.

[ALVAREZ6]

labs are great dogs.



do you guys have any idea on what his new name will be?

[Kori Ellis]

I'm not sure. He doesn't really answer to Cooper, so I don't think it matters if we change it. I have to hang out with him and see what's a good name for him. Right now he's just napping.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Awesome birthday present!

I love choc. labs!

[kingsfan]

Very cute. I love labs.

[CharlieMac]

I hate cats, but i want one.

Congrats on the dog though.

[Sonia_TX]

AWw he's adorable Kori! Congrats on your new family member. :)

[Kori Ellis]

His eyes look scary in that first pic. But he actually doesn't look scary. He just has really light eyes.

[spurschick]

very cool - I'm glad that Looter will have a friend now

[ShoogarBear]

The new dog looks like kind of a badass.

I'd put away your valuables for a couple of days.

He's super mellow. Though he did try to hump Deuce when they met. (Are neutered males supposed to hump each other? :lol)

Was this dog previously owned by Mark Cuban?

[Kori Ellis]

:lol

He realized quickly that Deuce was a boy and stopped.

Well, then, the answer is no.

Too cute. They are buds already! Hopefully Deuce will relax now.

[Kori Ellis]

Yeah they are play wrestling a lot, but I'm sure by tomorrow they'll be used to each other. They haven't been growling or anything.

Here's a better picture of Deuce.

This picture makes him look like he's gotten into Mouse's "stuff":smokin

[pache100]

Kori, Cooper/whomever is GORGEOUS! I particularly love that second picture of him, precious! Keep us posted on how the two of them get along.

[leemajors]

male dogs usually hump each other at some point. it's a show of dominance. congrats on the new dog and giving a home to two dogs who needed it. my parents had usually got purebreds, but i realize now giving a home to a dog who doesn't have one is best. my brother has a brittany spaniel/lab mix, and i have a rottweiler/lab mix - the rott/lab is the gentlest dog i have ever met, and actually runs away when my 15 month old daughter harasses him.

[katyon6th]

Oh man, they're adorable together and apart. How sweet!

I want to meet the new one!

[Sportcamper]

When dealing with Labrador Retrievers do not forget about the importance of DOGA (http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40352000/jpg/_40352975_yogabody6.jpg)....Yoga for Dogs... (http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40352000/jpg/_40352963_yogadogbody1.jpg)

My Yellow Lab used to run around the back yard, dig holes, bark at the mailman or any stranger who would come near the house...She had boundless energy & when we would go to the park she would chase a tennis ball for hours....My Dogs Therapist said that this was a classic expression of low self esteem...

My choices were to start her on Doggie Prozac or start DOGA Classes immediately....My Dog & I started the DOGA Training and my Lab is like a new person...She now practices her Yoga, on her own.... (http://wgnradio.com/shows/kathy_judy/photos/dogsmile/inter4.jpg)

[NASpurs]

lmao dog yoga.

I love dogs but people sure do anything for them

[Kori Ellis]

:lol @ Doga

They are constantly play fighting/wrestling. I guess they'll simmer down a little when they get used to each other.

[atxrocker]

feeling any name yet, kori?

[Sportcamper]

From my experience...Labs “simmer down” when they get about 15 years old.... :lol

[Kori Ellis]

:lol

Yeah I know. I'm just talking about the constant wrestling becoming less frequent. It was 4am and they were still wrestling in our bedroom last night. And now Deuce has a small cut on his head. But currently (right this second) they have simmered down to the point they are both laying under my desk and are relatively calm.

[tlongII]

Cool dogs. Labs are the best.

[2Blonde]

I used to have two labs. A black one and a yellow one. They aren't exactly mellow until they reach about 8 years old but they are so sweet and loyal. Someday I am going to have another one. :spin

[TOP-CHERRY]

http://www.spurstalk.com/ace2.jpg
Hahaha, this dog is funny.

Cute dogs.

[Jules]

Congrats on the new addition. Hopefully the new dog will ease some of Deuce's existing issues.

[MoSpur]

Anyone else want a free lab?

[kris]

Looks like the twin towers to me.

Kori & LJ

Congrats on your new Pup

[Kori Ellis]

New dog's name is Yogi.

Were we supposed to name it Jason?

[jman3000]

I actually convinced my 9th grade teacher to name her kid Jason. It just so happens her grandfather's name was Jason too ... so it was an easy sell.

But yeah ... Jason woulda rocked.

[timvp]

Who the hell is jason.

[Kori Ellis]

Jason = Gi Jane or whatever you called jman3000 earlier today.

So, Deuce has a huge hole that he dug in the backyard a while back, which he collects rock from and brings them inside -- we refer to the hole as his Quarry.

Anyway, tonight they both decided to lay in the Quarry as it rained. :pctoss

Nothing like having to give two mud clad dogs a bath at 4am. :lmao

what a cute dog.

[Kori Ellis]

The Dynamic Duo dug a whole under the fence and escaped :pctoss


Luckily I found them down the street before they could get far or get hit by a car.

[Das Texan]

electrify that fucking fence.


that will teach them a lesson.

[Kori Ellis]

I don't know what to do to keep them from doing it again.

Deuce always digs, but he never digs near the fences to try to escape.
I'm sure it was Yogi's idea but now I don't know to do.

[Pistons < Spurs]

electrify that fucking fence.



Exactly.

I've used them before when I had dogs, and they worked great.


"A PetSafe electric fence can stop dogs from digging under, or jumping over existing fences. Keep dogs out of landscaped areas. The PetSafe electric dog fence kits include everything you will need to install and train your dog."

shock collars

[jman3000]

bear traps.

[ShoogarBear]

A couple of bitches.

[ShoogarBear]

haha, I can get away with saying that!

[jman3000]

A couple of bitches.

why stop at a couple? the more bitches the better, imo.

:smokin

[Sportcamper]

I got my Lab a shock collar to keep her out of the garden....It took her ONE day to figure out how it all worked...She worked the collar off...Ate the electric devise on it....Then she dug up all the stakes & left them at the back door with her collar...

I let her have the garden now but she has to program my VCR....

[ShoogarBear]

:lmao Does she do taxes?

[Sportcamper]

Tlong...that photo of that boney azz chick is disgusting....Please change it to something more appealing....Like this... (http://www.strangecelebrities.com/images/content/117116.jpg)

[Sportcamper]

She does not do taxes...But she does have other tricks...Like hiding cans of cat food under the orange tree & opening them with her teeth when I am gone.... (She loves little Friskies tuna)....

[ShoogarBear]

I thought you were going to say she opens cans of cat food and uses them as bait.

[2Blonde]

Kori,
Have you looked through that petsafe site. It's pretty awesome. I was just going through it and saw something you might like. I remember you said you keep your patio door partially open for the dogs. They have this.

For now LJ secured the gate with bricks. So I don't think they can dig out.

But they managed to cause some new trouble today within the yard.

I always let them sleep in our room but I don't feel like washing them right now. So this will be their first night sleeping outside on the deck.

tie them outside.

I would never tie them outside. It defeats the purpose of having dogs.
