This is Deimos!❤️ my best friend, my most loyal companion, and the biggest source of happiness and joy in my life. This is our story!!!!
Born on August 13th 2022 in a litter of 9. This little bundle of joy came into this world. A German Wirehaired Pointer/Standard Poodle/Alaskan Malamute mix.
Little did i know that soon our paths would cross. . . . . Originally, he was on hold for someone else, but that person ended up taking a different puppy. This happened 4 times to him, 4 times someone said that they wanted him, and 4 times they ended up taking a different pup. On November 20th, 2022, i went to pick him up. When i laid eyes on him, I knew that we were meant to be. I took him in my arms, and instantly, I fell in love with him, I knew then that this was the start of a most beautiful friendship.
I took him home, and we began training and growing together. Every day, we would work on obedience and recall training, and as he got older, the training intensified, expanding into other areas such as walking without a leash, sit, stay, lay down, etc. We didn't stop there. From a young age, I would take him on tough hiking trails where he would develop the skills to climb steep rock cliffs, run down loose gravel declines, and practice leaping over obstacles and fissures. He quickly became strong and confident, taking on challenges i would set for him, and he would never disappoint, even though sometimes he was fearful he would overcome that fear with ease.
He is one of the sweetest, most sincere, kindhearted canines i have ever come across in my life. Not a single ounce of nastiness in him. Intelligent beyond belief. . . . . He has outsmarted me on numerous occasions, forcing me to grow as a person and as a trainer.
I am grateful and lucky to have such a wonderful and kind soul as my companion through this most interesting life.
I have him on a raw food diet, I balance out the portions myself, a mix of rice, vegetables, meat, fish, organs and bones. He is a strong and extremely healthy boy. Everytime we have a checkup at the vet they always compliment me on how healthy he is and how soft and shiny his coat is. 😁
His name was inspired by my love of space and my knowledge of Greek mythology.
Deimos is the smaller of the 2 moons that orbit Mars, and in Greek mythology, Deimos is the god of fear and terror and the son of Ares and Aphrodite.
I want to say thank you to
@Jurkowsk1Moon for sparking the inspiration to make this post. The effort you put into your art reminded me of the effort that I have put into and continued to put into training with him every day. 🫶
