Born February 24, 2008, pictures taken at 6 weeks old:
Angus Bon McKiernan, tri-color Bassett Hound, 1st born, male
and
Bonham "Bonzo" Page McKiernan, tri-color Bassett Hound, 1st born female, runt of the bunch
They were and are so precious.
Well now our little guys are not so little any more. They grow SOOOO fast. Now they are at 4 months old. When we first got them, Angus weighed 8lbs. and Bonzo weighed 6lbs. Now, he's pushing 40lbs. and she's just past the 30lb. mark.
For those who are not music enthusiasts, we named them after a couple of our favorite bands and musicians. Angus, for the famed Angus Young and Bon Scott of AC/DC. Bonzo, for my ALL-TIME favorite band Led Zeppelin. Named after the BEST drummer ever John "Bonzo" Bonham and one of the BEST guitarists to EVER grace the stage Jimmy Page.
It's been a rough few months with the potty training, but I think they are really starting to get the hang of it. We've also had some barking problems with Angus, but that has been taken care of with a barking collar. And before you start telling us that it's inhumane, we bought the anti-bark collars that spray citronella so they DO NOT harm them at all.
Here are a few more pics of them at 3 months:
