Loowit (Mt. St Helens-Ms Pink, aka: Tule Loowit) and Pahto (Mt. Adams - Mr Red, aka: Kyrik) were quite a surprise when they popped out together as fraternal twins (a very rare occurrence in dogs.)

Tule Loowit's family sent a story of her first year. Unfortunately I can't post most of the pictures that went along with the words but trust me, she has had a wonderful first year.
Remarkable Tule Loowit’s “tail” so far, as told by Tule Loowit:
I loved my life with
my brothers and sisters at the BrownStone farm, especially my mom.
I left for my new home with the family when I
was 8 weeks old – so scary! But they
love me and I like that.
I have new brothers who take me on the long board which I
love. I travel in the car which immediately puts me to sleep. I have traveled to
San Francisco several times.
There
is a scary cat. He clawed me on the nose once, so now I really do not like
cats. At all. I walk WAY around them when I see them, just to be sure. But I do
have a tiger, which is like a cat but a lot bigger.
I
took a class where my owners learned how to ask me to do things that I
personally already knew how to do, like sit, and stay, and walk politely on a
leash and respect other dogs’ space. I liked everything except respecting other
dogs’ space. I like their spaces. In fact, my most favorite thing to do in the
world is to play with other dogs, which I get to do a lot but not enough. I
have many dog friends and we have play dates and go on hikes.
In
the summer I have a trampoline to play on, and I hide all of my special toys
under it. I also like to sit in the sun if it not too hot.
In
the winter, I am a member of the National Ski Patrol and I get to wear an
official Mountain Host jacket and greet customers at Willamette Pass. I like
that job. Snow is the best.
I
am all grown up now and I have a sleeping perch where I keep an eye on the
neighborhood when I am home alone.

Pahto (Mt. Adams, Mr Red) aka: Kyrik went to live with McKenzie's daughter, BrownStone Tillamook River (Tiki).
He
is very handsome! He and Tiki get along better than I could have hoped for – I
wasn’t sure how tolerant she would be of all of the puppy energy, but she seems
to really enjoy playing with him, and they both seem to seek out each other’s
company more often than not. She has also been great at keeping him busy and out
of trouble, so she has made the puppy training much easier for all of us.

Paws crossed that the canine produced blogspot formatting will disappear when I re-boot. I still have 5 more pups to profile and really don't want to take another trip back to Trader Joes.
