When we adopt another dog, it will be an older dog. Having Moby the perpetual puppy has reminded me so many of the reasons why I adore older pups! :)<br /><br />www.ourwaldobungie.comsweetemalinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07606601563706396210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-29192301115447524102013-04-24T00:59:49.412-05:002013-04-24T00:59:49.412-05:00Bender is 7 and he hasn't lost his puppy edge ...Bender is 7 and he hasn't lost his puppy edge at all.

But please keep in mind, she's a fox hound who has to deal with being inside (instead of in teh woods off leash chasing a fox and keeping up with horses running through the woods). And by loosing her puppy edge, I mean she stopped looking at me like "I could go for a 10 mile run!" after our morning 2 mile run. <br />Paul (8), on the other hand, runs hot/cold. He is thrilled when it's walk time and charges down the hallway to the door running in circles around me the entire time. But he's just as happy lying next to me on the couch as I blog.<br />Honestly, I'm listening to Annie and Paul play at the far end of the house right now. They're talking about something, I'm just not sure what.Annie & Pauls Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928976927484602384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-8764836279977443262013-04-23T19:13:47.999-05:002013-04-23T19:13:47.999-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Annie & Pauls Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928976927484602384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-30100020392323809032013-04-23T17:08:47.928-05:002013-04-23T17:08:47.928-05:00I have 2 Dobermans.

Kaya & Norman are still 2 and 1 1/2 but I certainly find them very easy now. Kaya is older but the much more excitable than Norman. She changed a lot when she was around 1, but I think training and consistency was the bigger factor. I wanted and older dog too as my second dog but ended up with another puppy. Norman, however, has always been easy going since his puppy days:)My Two Pittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526624777044038820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-71957992823746670472013-04-23T12:37:26.115-05:002013-04-23T12:37:26.115-05:00With Labs it seems like the magic number is 4 year...With Labs it seems like the magic number is 4 years old... however... and that's a big however... at ages 9 and 7 years old Boomer and Dottie can still become absolute freaks (and I mean that lovingly) when they want to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-23056093470191000512013-04-23T10:57:12.310-05:002013-04-23T10:57:12.310-05:00Age 12?

She still loves hardcore tumble sessions in the yard with Celeste...and she is a lot easier to handle because she is only 35 lbs and 14.<br /><br />Celeste mellowed out around age 3/4. She is much more centered and calm now (she turns 6 next month).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977410602426080310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-16499384021362276022013-04-23T10:46:14.217-05:002013-04-23T10:46:14.217-05:00Our Golden mix sisters turn 3 on Friday.

I brought Tess home when she was 2 and she's been pretty laid back since...but I bet she's always been like that!<br /><br />As for Ed, I wonder if he has a "certain age." He's a bulldog mix, too, and they are notorius for maturing late. So, it sounds like we're waiting until 4?
