Thanks, everyone!!
Beautiful!! And such a lovely place to take her to play! She is such a lady and yet I see so much of Merlin in her! (but mostly Sojo haha)
and peepin her pretty collar!
Thanks! Technically we're not supposed to play there I don't think lol. But nobody is ever there and it's super convenient and great for tiring her out because it's all uphill.
Haha, and yes, she is mostly her dad I think. Although I feel like her body is more Hustle's... but I'm no expert lol. And her extreme bum wiggles are definitely her mother's. As is her extreme love for people!
Such pretty girls! I love how blue the sky is, too.
That's one thing I love about here. Even in the winter, while we do have our dreary sky days, we get a lot of sun and blue skies. Which is deceiving sometimes when it's freezing cold outside haha. But it's nice.
Journey is SUCH a pretty dog.
Side note: if I look closely enough, I can tell Journey and Merlin are related, but I'd never peg them as littermates! Maybe it's the coat?
I know coat colour throws me off when I compare her to any of her relatives that are not also black tri or bi. But I think Journey has a more narrow face than Merlin and smaller/differently shaped ears too. Plus, the fact that he screams boy and Journ is very feminine. I see more obvious resemblance when I compare to two of her sisters (the third I can see resemblance, but not as easily - she looks quite different from the rest of the litter) and her black tri brother, but often when I see pictures of Merlin there are still many that remind me a lot of Journey. Just not as obvious always. But they do have similar facial expressions and mannerisms. And even if it is sometimes hard to peg them as littermates just in pictures, it sounds like their personalities are quite similar.
If we didn't live super far away, it'd be fun to get them together in person I think! Actually, I'd like to see all of her siblings in person one day somehow. I love doggy family reunions.
Awesome photos! (See you take great action photos!) and Journey is just gorgeous as always.
Thanks! Haha, I actually took these in an attempt to get pictures as awesome as yours. But even in this set, some of my favourites that I still posted, her face is not in focus. That happens to me all the time. I'll get an otherwise great action shot, but the part I wanted in focus is just not quite there, eventhough to me it looks like it should be in the viewfinder.
I know Toller trims Journey much more than Merlin, especially in the face/ear area? Merlin has superfloof. <3 I find that their faces are very similar in structure!
I think the only difference is that I tidy Journey's ears some and Merlin gets none haha. I really don't do much to Journ. Just thin out the excess fluff on her ears so they shape her face better. The only other parts that get any minor tidying are her feet and her tail.
