This is Dorothy as a pup. Cute!

Another picture of young Dorothy, the big dog is Loki, my first Elkhound. He passed away about 7 years ago at about 14 years old. He was a great dog. He'll always be remembered fondly.

I'd never seen a dog eat any type of fruit until I saw Loki & Dorothy eating tangerines. They would pick them up under the tree. They would even peel them!

Loki didn't like to share his tangerines.

Dorothy finally gets away with her prize!

Dorothy and Loki.

Elkhounds need lots of grooming!

Lots and lots of grooming!

This is Freckles's first day in his new home.

Here's looking at you!

Young Freckles, a face only a mother could love.

Guarding his food and water bowl, he learned young!
