Play-date with boys

Boys, boys, boys!

This afternoon, Pyrrha hosted beaus Loki, Silas, and Parker over for a nice romp in the sun.

Silas, you may recall, was the first dog to meet Pyrrha at our house, just a few days after we adopted her. It did not go so well, mainly because Pyr was freaked out and spent the afternoon snarling and growling at Silas and then running away from him. She’s come a long way with her manners since then, and so we finally had Silas back over.

This time, as you can see, Pyrrha was quite taken with him and Silas was, as always, a great sport. It was heartening to me to remember how Pyrrha reacted to Silas back in May and to witness what a different and happy dog she is now.

Loki also showed up; the kid has really grown! He might even weigh more than Pyrrha does now. He is precious as ever and is still gaining confidence but always a great sport when he gets bowled over.

Then we had our next-door neighbor Parker, the boxer/pit mix, join in the fun. Parker is a high-energy sweetheart, and he and Pyr like to watch each other through the fence slats, but we’ve never officially had him over.
