Puppy number four is the only spotted pup. We are calling him Thor, after the God of Thunder. Thor was born a god and has a brother named Loki. He loved his people so much that he triggered their destruction in the end battle of Ragnarok, finally breaking a repeating cycle of futility.
He was exiled to Earth, where he believed that he was a mortal doctor who walked with the aid of a cane.
Thor can wield and shoot lightning from his hammer, the Mjolnir.

enlarge 34KB, 382x576 5 1/2/10: Thor's New Year's smile. Such a handsome boy!
enlarge 52KB, 384x576 6 1/2/10: Thor and Venie focused on a tennis ball and waiting for me to throw it.
enlarge 51KB, 432x576 7 3/15/09 - 9 month old Thor showing off his cuteness and his splint. So far he seems to be recouperating well (it's been 12 days). With his "in your face" mega monster personality the hardest thing for us is trying to keep him quiet.
enlarge 45KB, 323x576 8 3/15/09 - On 3/3 Thor jumped off a crate - something he's done millions of times (see pic #23 below) and landed wrong. He snapped both bones in his upper left leg.
enlarge 53KB, 576x422 9 1/09 - Playing with alpha Venie isn't always super fun. Here she's acting like she doesn't want the ball. She wants Thor to try to take it, so that she can "remind" him that she's the boss and then take the ball away from him!
enlarge 36KB, 576x344 10 1/09 - Thor and Venie again...notice the nice self stacking this boy is doing in this series of pictures...and that all of the pictures are taken in different areas of my living room.
enlarge 47KB, 576x429 11 1/09 - Thor and Venie...again.
enlarge 34KB, 576x365 12 1/09 - Thor at 7 months. His stack is a bit outstretched here, but you can see that this boy has a lot of very nice conformational qualities! The amount of bone he has is perfect. I am also very happy to report that he's matured to the 15 - 16 lb range. I am pleased and pleasantly surprised that he did not mature to the 18 lb range.
enlarge 42KB, 576x535 13 1/09 - Thor has exceptional movement -- very much like his father, Mikko's movement. His front legs do not break at the ankle and it is very lovely to watch.
enlarge 58KB, 536x576 14 1/09 - Crazy man Thor "banking a turn".
enlarge 37KB, 408x576 15 1/09 - Look Mom!! I can touch my nose with my tongue!
enlarge 38KB, 576x365 16 1/09 - caught in action springing onto the couch.
enlarge 35KB, 386x576 17 1/09 - coming around the couch.
enlarge 33KB, 455x576 18 1/09 - Thor...isn't he just stunning?
enlarge 56KB, 403x576 19 12/08 - Thor sitting with Jakob near our Christmas tree. Happy Howl-idays!!
enlarge 39KB, 576x384 20 12/25/08 - Thor enjoying one of his presents from his Christmas stocking.
enlarge 70KB, 395x576 21 12/08 - Thor at 6 months old on a nice December day. He's grown out to be a very handsome boy.
enlarge 38KB, 362x576 22 12/08 - Thor showing his nice straight forward movement, beautiful head and nice tail carriage. I LOVE this boy!
enlarge 49KB, 576x510 23 9/08 - Thor at 6 months old...standing on top of the crates in the kitchen like he's king of the world.
