#latergram Two weeks ago a neighbor posted to the community that a friend of hers lost her foster dog on our road. Yesterday evening Doug found her a mile from the house on his way home. Lana was wet, shivering, and hungry! He called her and she came right over and jumped in the car. We notified my neighbor and then fed her and tried to warm her up until she could come get her. Lana is the sweetest dog I have ever met! The boys didn’t quite know what to do. We had them in their crates when she first came in. Finn looked relaxed and eager to meet, so I let him out after Lana ate something and was looking comfortable. I was feeding Duff treats the whole time (Lana and Finn too!) since he is the one we are working on changing an early negative association. Once Duff calmed and was more focused on the treats I let him out and kept treating him. Eventually he got curious and greeted Lana. Success! This #positivereinforcement thing is really working well for them. By the time my neighbor came to get them the boys were whining to play with Lana, but I kept them off since she was so tired and her shivering still hadn’t stopped completely. I’m hoping her foster mom brings her back to see us once she is recovered. #lostdogfound #rescuedog #pitbull #fosterdog #rescuepups #gsdpitmix #dontbullymybreed #adoptdontshop #dogsofinstagram #puppiesofinstagram #dog #puppy

Duff fits under the couch. Finn does not. It’s 5:30 AM. Good morning. #early #puppydom #16weeks #puppies #dog #puppiesofinstagram #gsdpitmix #germanpit #gsd #pitbull #amstaff #pittynation #rescuedogsofinstagram #adoptdontshop #pawsitiveconnections

This pretty much epitomizes Finn and Duff. Finn reaches a certain point when he’s done playing and just wants to cuddle. Duff needs to keep going, so I’m teaching him that humans are great for tug-of-war. Five minutes later they were cuddled up together on the couch. My boys. #finn #duff #16weeks #puppies #pups #puppiesofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #germanpit #germanshepherd #pitbull #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #pawsitiveconnections #dogtraining #puppyplaytime #littermates #adoptdontshop #pibble #dontbullymybreed #farmdog

My girl, Atalanta, is slowly accepting the giant, exuberant pups. But she is not happy about it. She started out hiding in trees or my room. But today I finally had her come nap in my lap. I’ve missed her cuddles. #cat #kitten #knittersofinstagram #catsofinstagram #torbie
