East Coast Part 2

September 2, 2014 20 Comments

What a week.

After visiting Nick’s parents in Virginia, we made our way north to PA to visit my family and get some more wedding planning accomplished.

I don’t recommend trying to be productive in a 2 1/2 day trip. It’s rough! Thankfully, we were able to get everything done that we needed.

My parents’ house was pretty much a fur explosion with over 400 pounds of dog.

Great Pyrenees and Bernese Mountain Dogs
Mauja, Atka, Kai, Mallie

 

We were all a bit nervous to have the four pups together under one roof. We brought Mauja to visit when she was only about 3 months old and it didn’t go so well. Nick and I really want Mauja and Atka to be a part of our wedding, so we had to give it another try.

I won’t go into detail on the whole introduction process, but it was a success! Mallie and Kai were a little nervous around all the puppy enthusiasm, but everyone did an excellent job at regulating themselves.

For the most part, they chose to hang out in separate rooms, but they could all be around each other without any major issues.

They even sat together so nicely while waiting for their favorite treat. ‘People food’ is an extremely rare treat for Mauja and Atka, but all bets are off when gma is around!

That’s the way it should be, right? 😉

    That is a lot of dog and fur, but they all look super cool together. Mom loves the Bernese Mountain dogs. They were all over the place when we lived in Germany. Bernese Mountain dogs, Leonberger and Pyrs are her favorite large breeds.

    I think “treats” is the magic word what always works. I would like to have 4 pups under my roof… but I’m not sure if my staff is strong enough for such an adventure

    Wow, I’m impressed you were able to get any planning tasks done at all with all the puppy management. 🙂

    And is your mom still digging out from under the dog hair?

    I love the fact that you are incorporating them in your wedding. Our daughter is getting married soon and they want Harley in the wedding. It’s at the beach, so that should be interesting. I can see him escaping and running towards the water BOL Congratulations, I know you will be a beautiful bride… Love the fact that you allow gma to rule – sweet!

    I’m impressed you got all that done 🙂 And with “over 400 pounds of dog,” I love that line. I’m glad they got along this time, and I love that they’re going to be part of the wedding.

We’ve been gradually reducing the dosage, and today, he had his first trim with ZERO drugs and ZERO growling 🙌🙌
