@thadd puppies are the cutest, but don’t tell my two #Keeshond-en that. That is a great video, btw; it really captures the puppy inquisitiveness.

Happy #InternationalDogDay! Here are Raven and Luka; Luka’s in the foreground. They were groomed on Thursday, so are still very soft and always fluffy. This is a rare photo with both of them looking at the camera. #DogsOfMastodon #Keeshond

Raven wants to know: “You don’t really have to work, do you?”

Here’s Luka’s submission for #TongueOutTuesday; he’s caught in the process of a belly rub. Raven isn’t submitting today, but I included a picture of her sleeping cutely by my desk. #DogsOfMastodon #Keeshond

A #ThrowBackThursday that only goes back to Tuesday. This is Raven and Luka on their way to Camp Fido Tuesday morning. It appears Raven isn’t so sure sharing her seat with Luka is safe…

Raven likes enclosed places at times. She also likes to nest. Here she has the best of both!

The pups joined me at work this morning. I have to admit when they gave me their fuzzy butts, I was torn between the cuteness and lack of support…

Luka’s entry for consideration this #ToungeOutTuesday. This is his “I’m getting s belly rub!” look. All is well in his world. #Keeshond #DogsOfMastodon

For the record, here is a video of Raven making her nest with a full body face rub included. #keeshond #DogsOfMastodon

Raven and Luka decided to join me at work today. That’s me at work, clearly being cute is no work for them. … This really just means my wife was out of the house. I’ll take whatever I can get.

#ThrowBackThursday This is Tirian, almost 20 years ago when he was four. He went over the rainbow bridge much too soon. He definitely had the longest hair we’ve seen on a #Keeshond. #DogsOfMastodon

Raven, after only a half day of #CampFido. She always can make herself comfortable with maximum cuteness

Last night, after consistent modelling and asking Gravy to paw the "tug" button before playing tug with him, Gravy went up to the button mat and pressed one on his own. He instigated tug with Theodore (one of our corgis) immediately after. This was so cute and so great! He absolutely pressed the "all done" button which is on the total other end of the board, but I'll take it hahaha

As much as training my own #ServiceDog gave me wonderful experiences, I cannot get over the idea that I want a program dog in the future. I don't want to do it all over again, it's so stressful. I also feel like it would be just a much different experience having to build a bond with a fully grown and trained dog as opposed to working with my dog from 9 weeks old. I don't know, hopefully it's not an issue for many years.

Gravy included for #dog tax.
#Keeshond

It's wild to me still that Gravy managed to connect the dots so well so quickly. I knew he would likely learn faster than a puppy because he's already an adult, intelligent, and knows many cues. I had no idea it would be such a fast turnaround before he used a button on his own though!

We just got back from a 2 week vacation. Raven grabbed one of our hiking boots as we unpacked and took it into her crate. “You can’t leave ever again!” Is the clear message. #DogsOfMastodon #Keeshond

I finally got a good video of how a #Keeshond, Raven in this case, makes a bed. #DogsOfMastodon

Raven can always find a chin rest. #DogsOfMastodon #Keeshond

For #Fursday, I offer portraits of our two pups after a spa day.
