As Landon is completing his fourth week at Chez Herd, we are enjoying watching the brothers bonding and figuring each other out.
The three brothers bonding around the Tree of Life.
As always, you can never totally predict who will end up being the best friends. Everyone is getting along well, but we had anticipated that Typhoon and Landon would be the best buddies since they are closest in age. They enjoy each other’s company and hanging out, but Typhoon still considers his best pal to be Cheoah. He prefers hanging out with her – or, as often happens, hanging on her and chewing her neck.
Frankie started out being very aloof with Landon. Not being unfriendly in any way, but also not giving him much attention. The end result was that Landon was most intrigued with Frankie. Now, when Frankie goes to stretch out for a nap, Landon sidles up near him to sleep as close as possible to his big brother. The picture below is one of the cutest we have of that budding friendship.
Landon and Frankie
Hu-Dad gave up long ago trying to predict pack dynamics and just enjoys watching everyone interact.

Horrible Hurricane Helene: Why So Bad for WNC?

Hurricane Helene was a monster storm, but the way it hit Western North Carolina couldn’t have been much worse.

His books pay for our food!
Mom sez: I’m so glad to see Frankie and Landon beginning to bond. Frankie has been my favourite since Rusty went across the Rainbow Bridge, but he always seemed to be “odd man out” for some reason. EVERYpup needs a “bestie.
That is really awesome. I love watching dogs bond in the way they please.
And Frankie needs a good buddy.
Love seeing Landon so happy and making friends.
We just got a brand new rescue rottie. I’m also interested in how the dynamics evolve. Otto is being gentle and standoffish. She has told him to BACK OFF!! a few times. This is rottweiler cooperation!!
I’m surprised Frankie and/or Cheoah both haven’t petitioned to move to the senior yard for escape 😛
Yes – the dynamics! A sweet picture of Landon figuring out how cozy he can be with Frankie and your descriptions are terrific! Sending hugs xoxoxo
Sammie and Ava
Since Landon came from a rescue, did they know much about where he’d come from? He has the happy look of a relieved and grateful dog.
Awe! So adorable.
That is beautiful. But you have shown everyone in the pack recently but Kiska. Is she still mourning? How has she taken (or not) to Landon, is she doing ok?
The Walsh Pack
Sabo the German Shepherd
Jasmine the Lab
Delola the German Shepherd
Athena the English Mastiff
And their human servants
Kiska and Qannik spend most days sunning on the senior deck. Her reaction to Landon is the same as Typhoon – yelling at them to slow down and not be so bouncy. Just picture as the lady in the neighborhood always yelling at the kids to stay off her grass . . . and you have it.
Ahhhh… got it
Thank you, we were worried for her
That’s beautiful! Frankie needs a best bud!
