Montu and Isis are the names we came up with for our pups. Montu, meaning warrior and solar god, and Isis, mother of nature, queen of gods. They are Egyptian names. Both of them have put on seven plus pounds as of our last vet visit. They are eating every kind of poop they can find, so far, goat, chicken, horse, bird, and each others. They love miscellaneous dead rodents, bark, paint, turtle shells, snakes, baseboards, our bed, and did I mention goat poop? I found a cute new shop in Hillsboro that sells only all natural, organic, grain free, corn free dog food. Right now I am feeding them Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balance. It has a lower protein content, so the dogs don’t grow faster than their bodies are ready for. I am training them with freeze dried lamb as a treat. So far they can sit. I am also trying to use hand signals too, so they have to look at me. The eye contact helps with their attention span. They have a good routine of walking with me to the goats and chickens, and riding in Austin’s 4-runner. They play pretty rough sometimes, and then sleep hard too. We are still enjoying their peppiness enough to let them sleep with us. Montu, even though he has such long fur, loves the wood fired stove and often falls asleep with his face touching it. Isis has twice his energy and agility. She runs circles around him.
