Anju

Awesome and Anju were adopted together, and now live in Oregon! Hello Debbie & Mike ~ I just realized that the puppies turned 6 months old a few days ago so thought this would be a good time to send some updated new and photos. Awesome and Anju have bonded with us, grown and changed in the past few months. They are still very close and enjoy playing endlessly with each other but are developing their own separate personalities also. Anju is more timid of new things and unknown noises but she is a very lovable and cuddly. Awesome is the more serious of the two. He worries if Anju or one of us leaves the "pack" and acts so relieved and happy when we return. He is the swimmer. He will swim out into the lake to fetch sticks and even puts his whole head down into the water to retrieve something he wants. Anju can swim but prefers to only go out as far as she can with her feet still touching bottom. She loves to play on the edge in the grass and steal the sticks that Awesome brings ashore. Although he is bigger than Anju she is the one that teases him in play and he usually falls on his back when they wrestle. Anju loves to go in the car and is the first one at the door to get in. It is very funny that neither one will jump up into the back seat. They both put their front paws up on the seat and then look back with their heads around as if to say "we are ready for you to lift our back halves up". The best part other than their devotion is that when out on the beach or hiking in the wood they stick right with us, never running off. If they get a little ahead they keep looking back to make sure we are following. Here are a couple of photos of our great dogs! East coast dogs visit the Pacific Ocean for a tiring day........
