Loki really loves him some DogTv 🤣 [March 2024]
Loki, master of the treat puzzles (and, yes, it was right side up one minute before this video)! Less than two whole minutes with this puzzle and he had it figured out! Life is never easy with a smart dog 🤣 [May 2024]
8 wks(ish)... we got him for free from someone who had him for a week or two and discovered they couldn't keep him (a little too much puppy for their toddler)... at the time, we were told that he was 8 wks old, so his birthday is a best guess.

Loki waiting at the back door... as seen through the muddy "let me in" paw prints on the glass (10/11/20; almost 21 mo.)
Still stealing socks 🤣. (11/12/20; almost 22 mo.).
Doorbell mode [12/17/20; 23 mo.]
"Where the heck did this thing come from?" (12/20/20; 23 mo.)
Apparently, in dog world, a sock is considered an adequate trade for ice cream... 🤣 (12/29/20)
When a dog decides a blanket is his new favorite toy, turning it into a cape is lots of entertainment (for both dogs AND people). [Last day as a 1 year old; 1/17/2021]

Loki got a new sister this month and he is so good with her! (...even when she kept thinking his "dangley bits" were chew toys 😆!) [33 months]
Loki and his new sis... already besties!
34 months!
Loki's 3rd[ish] birthday! And, yes, it took continual treat bribery to get him to keep the hat on for this photo! 🤣 [1/18/22]
Loki-shark's initial reaction to his new life jacket 😆 [February 2022; 37 months]
Oh, the many adorable faces of Loki... I swear, he has to be the most expressive dog on the planet!
The many sleep positions of Loki... 😆
Almost 40 mo. old 💖 [5/9/22]
Delegating the underwater toy gathering to his sister 🤣 [June 2022]
How loki does camping... always from the highest vantage point (and that's usually the top of the picnic table 🤣). [August 2022]
Captain Loki
Loki is a confident dog who likes to go all out and play really, really hard... seriously... his body never quite caught up with his superman mentality. Poor dog is currently 2 days out of surgery (TPLO) on his left knee... and is now forced to sport a naked leg and the dreaded "cone of shame." [10/8/22]
Half-way to the 8 week re-check (1 month post-TPLO). Still doped up on trazodone and not allowed to run, jump, or get on furniture 😫... but getting in some time in the living room on a 2 ft leash ❤ [11/07/22]
Loki's 8 wk re-check x-rays were good (100% bone healing)! Loki thinks he's good to go, but still needs to resume activity slowly (he needs to get back some lost strength and coordination)! But strict confinement has been lifted just in time for the holidays! [12/7/2022]
12/31/22. Still not a fan of hats... neither his own nor his sister's. Thinks his official job is professional hat removal... 🤣
[4/7/23] The look we get...
... when Loki figures out that one of us is leaving for the store without him. [4/7/23]

Double the dog bed, double the lounge! 🤣 [July 2023]
"Did someone say chips?"
For the dog who enjoys pushing the Roomba and Xbox power buttons with his nose, we present... talking buttons! Added a hint of word-related scent to the buttons (except for the "water" button) and reinforced the meanings when he pushed them... didn't take long for him to figure it out. [7/31/2023]
Someone is interested in the work mom and dad are doing in the front yard... [9/10/23]
Loki, king of the blankets [February 2024]
Loves his chewies! [March 2024]
Sometimes Loki acts like a dog... [Camping in the travel trailer, June 2024]
Sometimes he acts like a people... [Camping in the travel trailer, June 2024]
... and - as it turns out - some "people" don't like having their picture taken 🤣 [Camping in the travel trailer, June 2024]
July 2024
Just because Loki doesn't speak, it doesn't mean that he doesn't talk! July 2024
Naked leg #2... and he's already mad as hell about it! Just got home from getting TPLO after yet another complete tear of his CCL (on the Rt knee this time) [9/17/2024].
1 month post-op and he's definitely fed up with his activity restrictions... 4 more weeks to go.... [October 16, 2024]
While I'm sure he would love to have an excuse right now, Loki's bone healing was 100% at his recheck and his recovery has been going just fine 😆 [12/5/2024]
Throw the shark, mom... THROW THE SHARK! [2/7/2025]
