the feisty gang

Hi,
Luka Del Rio seems to be doing fine since finishing his last dose of doxycycline last week. I have not noticed any pain or lack of energy. He seems to be back to his old, feisty, ornery self!!
Here are a couple of photos of Luka and Abby Del Rio. One is in the backyard after playing, and the other is the two hooligans trying to talk me out of some breakfast sausage!!
Hope all is well in the north with you and your dogs and other animals!
Wendy, Luka and Miss Abbagail

Emmett Del Rio

Hi Bill,
Just wanted to say hi and show you how the old man is doing. He is still my main man ! Very nice dog ! He has a few issues, like thunder storms, and being left alone, but basically a great dog ! He turned 8 this year. Doesn’t seem like it has been that long. Still have Marco Del Rio too she is one of those dogs that if she could talk she would say “what ever ” she takes everything in stride . Love them both! Hope you are doing well .

Hi,
We took the dogs to a nearby state park to escape the fireworks as Luka Del Rio has never been a fan of booms and bangs! It was his fifth birthday and we kept the celebration low key. He got his steak after we returned home!  Where have these five years gone? Seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home!! BTW, he seems to have recovered from his injuries, or whatever it was that was bothering him, and is doing fine. He still manages to hurt himself somehow when he goes full throttle playing, and then we have to take a rest day or two, so he can recover.

Abbagail Del Rio is doing great, even though she can be the little crazy one! She can jump like a kangaroo, straight up in the air, when she gets excited! Amazingly though, when it comes to fireworks and thunderstorms, she is the calm one of the two. She actually slept through most of the noise that we could hear from the campground! I guess she was so tired from hiking and playing that her beauty sleep was much more important than staying up all night worrying about some crazy noise!

The heat and the mosquitoes were awful for camping, but we enjoyed getting away for a few days just the same. I am sending a couple of photos of our weekend. One is of the two dogs guarding our campsite from the rabbits that seem to wander the campground. The other one is of them playing at the campsite.
Hope all is well with you and your animals!
Wendy, Luka and Miss Abbagail

Its Red Del Rio….she is enjoying the first day without rain since last month…some Tervs are very partial to water in all forms but Red likes to be warm and dry so she stays inside during the downpours.

Brinkley Del Rio

I may have previously mentioned one of Brinkley Del Rio’s past times of digging and pulling out tree roots when her playmate is napping. Hence, the dirt on her nose in both pics. Very cute. In keeping with her heritage as a proper southern woman, she will not drink if there is one speck of dirt in her water bowl. We all know how dogs will be lying down, get up, move to another spot to lay down again. Brinkley’s version of this: She will be lying down with me with her head on my shoulder. She will get up, walk around to my other side just to lay down again and put her head on my other shoulder ! Quite funny. Last funny habit: If I am playing with Brinkley alone, and my other dog walks over to join in, she gets so excited she jumps straight up and down as if on a pogo stick. So funny.                                 Marc

beautiful Brinkley Del Rio is now 8 months old!

My vet always tells me Luka Del Rio is one of the healthiest dogs she sees! He ought to be – he eats better than some people!! I still feed him (and Abby Del Rio of course!) chicken and rice and carrots; some raw and some cooked meat, with chicken hearts and chicken necks for treats. Occasionally he gets steak if I can get it cheap, and that is what I use to hide his pills in as he hates taking pills! And for treats they get this freeze-dried raw duck food that I can buy in the stores. If we ever get that farm we wanted, I am hoping to grow my own food for them!

 

Sending a couple of photos from our recent camping trip to the east coast. One is from last year when Abby was about six months old. The second is of almost the same spot, a year later, showing how much she has grown! We ended up leaving early because Luka wasn’t feeling well. That was ok because it was hot anyway and the dogs didn’t seem to be enjoying themselves as much as they usually do.
As always, the dogs continue to be a daily blessing in our lives! It is a joy to wake with them everyday! Always a new adventure awaits!

 

Hope all is well with you in North Florida! Summer is almost upon us! Heat, humidity and storms, oh my!
Thank you again for your assistance! Luka is doing great!

Khloe Del Rio and Sheba Del Rio keeping cool

Hello Bill

Happy Spring! I cannot explain how much our pups have enjoyed lounging around outside enjoying the mild heat and soaking up nature! Khloé has taught Sheba to be well mannered and both are doing exceptionally well! Sheba at just over 6 months old is HUGE! She carries a lot more muscular weight than Khloé does or did at this age! I call her my “Big Black Bear!” Her personality is something else too–smart as a whip and likes to please! Her herding instincts when playing ball are beyond impressive. Sheba is the 1st dog yet to keep up with Khloés endurance & speed! They’ll be unstoppable once she’s fully grown! And both so beautiful!!

She is mostly house trained with some accidents if we get too busy to notice her asking to go out. She seems to understand that it’s not acceptable so we don’t get onto her too much about it. She really seems to enjoy water as much as Khloé and as you can see in a few pics has made herself queen of the sprinkler!! We are excited to take her to the beach in the next few weeks when we visit family for Memorial Day. If time permits we’d like to swing by and say hello! We enjoy seeing you and the animals… the kids really enjoyed visiting too!

All is well and we just wanted to say hello! I have set up a FB page to document Khloé & Sheba’s Tervuren Adventures… if anyone with one of your pups is interested in keeping touch the name to search is “Khloé & Sheba – Prayer Dogs” I look forward to seeing you again soon and hope you enjoy the pictures.

God Bless!

Brinkley Del Rio  recently completed her third total coloring change since bringing her home. She is now stunning. I assume this is her last change.          Going back in time, she was perfect in the very long car ride home. Entire ride home was in the pelting rain with tornado warnings. She lay cuddled up with her stuffed animal like a darling little princess never making a sound and no accidents or car sickness. Upon arriving home her husky big brother play bowed many many times the first 2 days and I did not believe she understood the meaning of it. After 2 days it was obvious she understood. She trusted him unconditionally. She put her little head inside his jaws to steal his toy. She eats out of his food dish with him. She hurls herself at him jumping on his back. My husky has always been the picture of tolerance, adores her and both delight in tug of war.  After the third day in her new home she did  not pp in the house again.  I believe this was due to modeling her big brother. She required longer to achieve control over her bladder but she has been been good for a while now. It is my understanding pups can’t control their bladders until the 4th month. Brinkley sleeps cuddled up to me with her head on me. Upon awakening she takes a happy pill and is happy and upbeat the whole day. When I sit at my desk she jumps into my lap. She never barks but growls and bares her little baby teeth during her wrestling matches with her big brother. This is very funny to watch. She has discovered the joy of digging at tree roots and her nose is always covered in Georgia red clay and is adorable. One corner of my back deck is about 2.5 feet high. I built her a ramp there and within an hour she was up and down on it as if using it all her life. . Brinkley is anxious in the car unless in the front seat and better yet in my lap.  She loves meeting new dogs at the vets office. People there continue to be stupefied and comment on her elegant appearance. She remains joined at the hip of her big brother. This is a reason it is so difficult to photograph her. I would include them both but she is always partially blocked out by him. She enjoys every fruit and vegetable I offer her. I cook her beef or liver for all meals with brussel sprouts usually mixed in for the antioxidants and other vitamins. I also add good olive oil for the omega 3. At night we have a ritual of eating wild blueberries that she is especially fond of. More antioxidants and vitamins. I guess she is just a georgeous health nut. Thank you again for this wonderful puppy and I look forward to another one.  Wishing you and your animals all good things. Marc

Hi
Luka Del Rio and Abby Del Rio are doing well! We are hoping to get away for a camping trip soon. We need a little time to relax and recharge for sure!

Here is a recent photo of Luka and Abby after we finished playing in the backyard. The neighbor’s dog wears them out; she runs and they chase! Darn Luka has his eyes closed again in this photo! Miss Abby just smiles for the camera! She loves to be in photos!

Hope all is well in the north with you, your dogs, and your goats!

Until next time! Take care,

Wendy, Luka and Miss Abbagail

Khloe Del Rio Sheba Del Rio

tervuren dogs
Khloé Del Rio and Sheba Del Rio are doing spectacular. Shebas vet checks have had her weighing in from 5lbs when we got her at 8 weeks to a wonderfully strong 24lbs at 17 weeks!! She’s developing in both temperament and beauty! Khloé and her are best pals — lots of activity always!!

We’re excited to do some traveling this summer and expose Sheba to new fun stuff that Khloé also already loves–like the BEACH!! We’re going to upgrade the car to a minivan to supply ample room to all the growing bodies!! Haha We took the girls up to Gatlinburg TN for a day and Sheba loved all the attention so much she passed out on the street for a little snooze! I guess she has a good example to learn from with Khloé being so well behaved.

tervuren puppy
Brinkley Del Rio draws attention when I take her out chiefly because no one I know is familiar with breed. Then she disarms them with personality. Some great breeds just don’t get into the public’s consciouness.

Hello Mr. Bill, this is Ronnie B., Sherri’s son. I wanted to give you an update on our puppy we got from you!
We named him Atanas Del Rio, he is a magnificent animal. Very intelligent and very protective at his early age. He has become my son Tabors sleeping buddy and has the energy like a shooting star. His birthday was Nov 7th 2016, so that would make him a little over 4 months. I have uploaded a few pictures
