Hi All,
Sorry for taking so long to provide an update.
The pups have provided a wonderful enhancement to our lives.
Ok... lets get something straight. I have PTSD and feel every day that the stuff that caused it is miniscule in comparison to what other Brother and Sister War Fighters have had to deal with.
That being said..... up until recently I spent much of my time in the bedroom. Yes I have got off my ass in the last year and been doing stuff, yet I still spent a great deal of time hiding from the world upstairs. That is as it needed to be.
Since the puppies have come home and namely Nukka my pup coming home. I spend all of my time during the day downstairs. I am spending quality time with my wife, children, older dogs and the pups. Talk about a life changing thing.
So here we are and time for an update. We have two children still at home and the pups love their older brother and sister. We also have a Springer Spaniel (female) and a Cocker Spaniel (male). Both are 7 years old. The Springer was fixed at a young age and never had pups. She has always been excitable like most springer's. Not any more. She has become the new mom for the pups. She has been wonderful. Our Cocker, being a bit of a miserable old Git is slowly getting used to the pups. He wants to play when they are playing with the springer, yet they are a bit rambunctious for him at the moment.
Here are some pics taken over the last few days.
