I've been bracing myself for a month or two of unrest in the home. It's been manageable, with Thea being more than happy to persist at harassing her sister and Panda being even more than happy to tell her to shove it where the sun don't shine. Panda has occasionally agreed to allow the little one to sit near her and has moments where she forgets herself and plays with Thea for a few minutes, but for the most part, it's been mostly the cold shoulder.
Then I went out of town for a couple days, for some personal business. I came home, and something clicked, suddenly, the girls were playing...together...with each other even. I don't know if it was the excitement of having me come home or if about a week was all they needed. Either way, it's a beautiful thing to see them happy together.
To celebrate, we took the little fur balls to Frog Lake up in the Mt Hood region.
Border Collies + Snow = Good old fashion fun

Yay for dogs playing together!
Do watch out for a little jockeying for status as Thea goes through her "teen-age" period. That's the only time we had problems with Jasper and Bouncer.

Yay! I was afraid, when I saw the title, that it went the other way.
So yay! Color me envious!

I'm glad to hear they're playing together - my parents' dogs took a few weeks to get used to eachother. They look so cute together :)

Awww, I'm glad they came to an agreement. They are so sweet together. I love Thea's little rump coloring. Will her ears stay so straight and perky, or will they get kind of bendy like Panada's?

Oh yay! Doggie harmony! Glad you were able to return home to such a happy household after your stressful week. PS: Although I was sad I couldn't show you Josephine in person, I will be posting pics soon. :)

That's so great! I'm glad the girls are so happy together and their trip to Mt. Hood looks like great fun! (Should I pack my snow boots?)
