Epic

Peanut and Simba have been having a great time at their grand-dad's house, and I understand he will be driving them to their new home on the mainland tomorrow. Grand-dad has reported that Simba's hurt paw is healing up very well.

This past weekend we went to the airport to pick up Epic, a beautiful and interesting looking pit bull (??maybe??) mix. Sam from Bully Buddies sent her over from Vancouver for us. We tried to get her on Saturday, but the Vancouver airport didn't load her on the plane! Poor Sam was very upset. Epic wasn't; she was just having fun socializing. So we tried again on Sunday and managed to get her.

Epic is a happy go lucky, bouncy 10 month old puppy. She is a dog that really tries hard to please. She's enthusiastic and silly and just a generally content dog. She and our dog Arlo are still getting used to each other - Epic is learning not to bounce on Arlo's head and Arlo is learning that she's not that bad, and only wants to play.

She is perhaps a pit-bull, pointer cross. Somebody mentioned there might be some Great Dane in her. I can see it in her face, but the Dane size is just not there. Mark Edit: I think she's got some Dogo Argentino in her. She's an average-sized pit bull I guess. She landed in Bully Buddies for the second time in her short life recently because her owners are getting a divorce. Poor girl!

We will let you know more about her as we get to know her. She is going to be a fairly easy dog for her new owner, I suspect. She's alright being left alone and really is just happiest when she is able to please her people.

Angry Sophie is doing very well - she will eat a treat in my presence now, and I've been able to touch her wiskers without much of a reaction. More on all that later, over and out!!
