Power couples

This is Trooper (ours) and Rambo.  They have a well-matched play style.  Rambo got a little full of himself the other day and Trooper kicked his butt, but they get along fine, Rambo just needed a reminder that he's a punk.  We adopted Trooper but I haven't really told him yet.  He does a great job of supervising Rambo, Max, and Jeremy during the day although he comes inside at night.  He's been staying in a crate in the office at night keeping other fosters company.  Molly used to be the best Foster Manager we ever had, until we adopted her.  Then she retired from that job fast.  I'm hoping Trooper will keep the job for a while and earn his keep around here.  He's been content to stay in the dog yard with them during the day and he mixes well with the household dogs as well.  He's also a great watch dog, but he's still far to aggressive towards strangers.  We need to go to the vet next week, which should be interesting. 


This couple is sort of an odd couple.  The big guy is Biscuit and the little mutt is Sunny.  They have the big kennel during the day because they both can and will jump the dog yard fence.  They get along well and they play together.  Sunny and Belle used to fight a lot over food, but Sunny doesn't take on Biscuit.  I think she tried once, but now she lets him eat slowly and unmolested. 

I hope to split both of these couples up this weekend.  I have leads on possible homes for both Biscuit and Rambo and I'd like to move them both out of here tomorrow.  There are plenty more waiting to take their places.
