Thor and Mojo

Play time

 2011

That's right, it has been one year since the kids and I drove down to Kentucky to pick up Thor. We fell in love with him even before we met him but once we got him into our home our hearts felt overflowing. Thor has been a fun, exciting addition to our family as well as a keen guard dog for our home.

Of course, Thor had the blessing of coming into a home with a brother, Mojo. He learned his place in the pack and at times has tried to step up in front of Mojo but he quickly gets corrected and falls back in line. We can not thank enough the people who rescue these dogs. Tier Haven was Thor's saving grace. We can't imagine our life without him.

Play time!

Anyone who has a dog knows they love to play. Mojo and Thor are no exception and the two of them can play for hours. It's great to see them interact. Thor turned 1 on April 1st. Of course being a Rescue we had to make a birth date for him. April Fools day is perfect for this dog with so much personality. For his birthday we gave him and Mojo a new tug rope. However Mojo didn't see it as a gift for Thor!

Play time usually starts with Thor tempting Mojo. He keeps nudging him until he's ready to play.  Sometimes the play time gets to great heights. It's funny seeing them in the stand up position looking almost like kangaroos boxing!

Of course play time always settles down when they hear something going on in the baseball field behind our house.

Thor is still just under 50 lbs. He was sick on and off during the winter with Giardia and whip worm, so everytime he would get to 50 lbs he would get sick and go back down to 40. It was a bit worry some for a bit but he seems to be doing so much better and we hope he can catch up to his big brother Mojo at 72 lbs. Otherwise we will just have to love the little nugget for his big personality.

Winter Fun

Although most of this year's winter has not been white. Thor seemed to enjoy snow when it was around. It was fun to watch him try to catch big flakes whenever they were falling from the sky and unlike Mojo, Thor never minded when it was rain like.

 Thor has grown some over the last few months (not yet 50 lbs) but still can not see out our front windows like Mojo can. So we decided that a stool as in order. Now Mojo and Thor can look out the front windows and see the kids come and go.

These two are very good to each other and we are so happy to have them as part of our family. These two are like my kids. Alike in so many ways yet very different.!
