We Survived

We made it through the night OK. Brice doesn't even flicker an ear at the boomies but we were at full "protect the Princess from the assault" mode - storm shirt, Rescue Remedy, movie with loud noises, and a magic pill. She was still stressed and wanted her momma but not shaking and drooling excessively. So it was a good night.

We got a late start on the park today but needed to get in a little zoomie time.

It's a "Field of Dreams" moment

Brice is going into "stealth mode" - faster and starting to blend into the background

If you look carefully, you can still see him

A little more visible from this angle due to our dark faces

No matter how long the grass is, Brice can still find the other dogs

Lots of water breaks due to the heat

Since the ticks are so bad this year, we are using dual tick protection - something from the vet and we get misted with a essential oils. We also get a daily tick check - if Momma finds one, she makes Dad get rid of it.

Woof ya later!
Princess Eva & Brice

Somehusky is confused!

On our guess which pup is which in the picture question, our friends over at the Thundering Herd answered "Eva on the left and Brice on the right." Which was correct but then they commented "The Herd knows its puppy butts!"

Well you may know which was which, but apparently you don't know which end is which. Those weren't our butts. It was our necks - notice the direction of fur and Eva may not have the proper Belgian foot but they all are attached in the right general direction.

We could blame it on their human since his view is usually the Herd's tails.

The answer is.....

Parents can always tell their kids apart from every angle, sound, and fur texture. Our parents used to be able to tell us apart by smell before Brice got the big snip.

The answer is..................

Princess Eva was the pup on your left and Brice was the pup on your right. Most of you were incorrect. Eve has longer fur and carries a very heavy coat especially for a girl and has more blackening. Brice has tighter cat feet.

Dad didn't take a follow-up picture with our heads up to go with the one that we posted yesterday so here are a few pics from the other day that show the difference in our ruffs.

We always take our own water to the park and Brice can always tell which jug is ours. When he wants a drink, he goes and sits by our jug. For our safety, our parents don't let us drink out of the dishes that people leave at the park because you never know what's growing in them or if some person has purposely contaminated them. (We've read articles about people putting out poison at dog parks. Not in our area but we're not going to take that risk)

Woof ya later!

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Can you tell which one is Eva and which is Brice?

It's been a long week but good news!

It was such a tough week. Quite a few pups from the blog world and the Belgian world passed to the Rainbow Bridge. We were very impacted by the passing of Princess Dakota from OP Pack. This afternoon when she was napping, Momma had an image of Dakota and our Tasha wooing together. Tasha was only part husky but could woo on occasion. Ok, it was more of a wolf howl but Dad always said it was from the husky part of her.

Along with many others in the blog world, we focused a lot of our pawsitive thoughts on helping Laska find his way home. BTW- have you seen Khyra's announcement? LASKA IS HOME!!!!! We don't have the details yet but I know that Khyra and her mom are bouncing with joy.


I don't think that there were enough pictures on my Brice-a-versary post, so here are a few more.

Dad was ambitious and brushed us Saturday morning before Momma even got up.
Here it looks like I'm floating on a cloud of Bricey undercoat

Almost everyday, I go downstairs and watch the news with Dad.
Yes, I have my own barstool.

Don't worry Dad, I won't fall off

This is the boy's clubhouse.
All girls need to get out.
Yes, Momma, that goes for you too.

What??? You came to tell me that it's dinner time!!
Outta my way!!!

Woof ya later!
Brice

Brice-o-versary!!!!

Shortly after Tasha passed to the Rainbow Bridge last spring, my parents realized that I will always be too shy and lack the confidence needed to be an only dog and I needed have another pup in the family. Even though my parents were trying to find a new pup through Belgian Rescue, none of the dogs available seemed to be the right one. But through the rescue grapevine, we heard of a young boy named Brice that needed to find the right home. His former home loved him dearly but he was too enthusiastic to be a service dog which is what they needed.

A year ago today, we met this energetic boy and Momma and Dad instantly fell in love with Brice. Against my objections, we brought him home from Nebraska. It took a few more days for him to win me over but now I can't imagine life without him.

Brice - the boy with enough confidence for 2 pups

We never too far apart

Because of Brice's energy level, we take long walks or go to the dog park almost every day

He's a handful but he's my brother!

Princess Eva

A new star shines tonight

A new star shines brightly tonight for Princess Dakota. We'll never forget her piercing blue eyes, happy smile and how she tried so hard to overcome all of her challenges. Please stop by her blog to leave words of comfort for her family.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

We light a candle in her honor tonight and wish her safe journey as she joins our Tasha and the others at the Rainbow Bridge.

With love,
Princess Eva, Brice, Momma and Dad
