Amichien Bonding - Romulus and Remus and the she wolf


(Andrew, this one's for you, and no worries, everybody's just fine! And now on to the post...)

What is Amichien bonding, you ask? Well, if you aren't familiar with our favorite parenting book, "The Dog Listener," it's the process of establishing a trusting  bond and your hierarchy with your trusted furry friends and the pack hierarchy. 
That's right! The best parenting book we've read so far is the book about cooperative dog training by Jan Fennel, where your pet learns to do what you want because it wants to please you. 

Thank you, Jan! And hopefully we can get Annika and Luka to lick our faces and gnaw on a bone when they are bored! In the meantime, I probably should finish "Twinspiration" and "Healthy Sleeping Habits with Twins" so we have something else to refer to for advice!

In the meantime, Penélope spent some very nice time bonding with Annika and Luka yesterday. She played with the ball with Buttercup, made sure her new  litter of little peoples was cared for well, and hung on the couch with Grandma and the twins.

Yes, I see Grandma has Annika. and she's just fine!

Kisses for the little people...


And a little ball time now that everything looks good with the litter:

C'mon, grandma, throw it! Throw it!

I dare ya'! Just try and take it!

Oh, c'mon, take it, take! Please?

I have my green sock of power and I am the ruler of this fiefdom! 

No worries here!
