Week 14 - The Story of Shinzou

Haroo's to everydoggie!!!

This weekend was a particularly big one for our little Shinzou as we introduced him to riding in the Jeep. Understand that this is our warm weather preference of transportation and love nothing better to load up the Husky - now Huskies and go for a summer ride with the top down and the wind in our fur. This is truly the highlight of our summer fun!!!

Much care was given to the harness arrangement for the new guy on the ride. Poppa is slightly notorious for overdoing things of this nature and naturally no holds were barred in the securing and comfort for the Little Guy to be harnessed in. Initial test runs showed little anxiety or concern on his behalf as we loaded up, secured him in, started the Jeep and puttered down the driveway, so the drive turned down our gravel road with Poppa manning the pup and Momma at the wheel. As timing seems to be everything, the little guy was relaxed enough to lay down and try to sleep..... we're still just a little baby. This went so well, an hour later we headed off to visit our friends about 8 miles away. Our visit and opportunity to introduce him to the dearest of friends and see new places was wonderful. We got to meet their horses and was only mildly intimated - they sure are big compared to him. The only disappointment in this whole trip was the lack of excitement, he was pooped! We know all in due time the anticipation will grow as his Big Brother won't leave the Jeep if he sees it out of the garage and at 10 1/2 years old absolutely loves the summer rides in the Big Bad Jeep, a.k.a "Tortus".









This brought about a particularly worn out crew on Monday morning and the cuddle opportunity Shinzou has been yearning for. Rojo was sacked out in his usual morning spot when Momma set the Little Guy up next to him. To our dismay, he laid down next to his big brother and they both laid there for a while. Rojo is kinda the stand-offish type so it didn't last long but was precious in every right. Abby Doodle never misses out on a chance to lay out with everyone.







And that friends, is the Week 14 Story of Shinzou.
