Two years ago 10/30 we went to get Jean from Mark not knowing that this would be the last opportunity we would have with the OG. Miss you joker, glad you found a worthy successor.
Dos/Alita is indeed kidding ass! She turned up with heartworms earlier this year and kicked the shit out of them. She doing great and learning to let my other two clowns know she isn't no pushover!
On vacation with us last month. I'll get some more pictures posted soon. Talked to uno's owner in the last 6-7 months and she's doing good, too.

Mark was getting some miles in that week. We picked up Alita on 11/01 in Vandalia. Met in a church parking lot and BS'd for an hour or so, while the puppies played. Mark and my wife got on marvelously and talked at length about dogs.
The vet told us to put her on about 25% more food than what we'd normally feed her, to put some weight on her. It worked and she not only filled out, she just kept growing. I had assumed she'd top out around 45-50 lbs. At her last checkup, she was 84 and the vet said we should cut back on her food a little. They think 75-80 is probably her ideal weight.
It used to take her all of about 5 seconds to scarf down a bowl of food, now she eats at a more leisurely pace. She's figured out food comes twice a day now, every day and is a lot less concerned with eating fast. She WILL finish off either of the other dogs' food for them, if given the chance.
Our female warmed up to her immediately. I think her maternal instincts kicked in and she treats her like she's her puppy. Alita can get away with anything with her, while our male catches hell for trying a lot of the same stuff.

So awesome to see these dogs living their best lives!
