No workingbee only Cody is mine the others belong to my daugther. It was very easy to tell them all apart, Cloudy and lucky no long part of the family. Sad but Cloudy died but she has another one now that is a mix of what we think is a Lab and great Dane that was recused up on the hill, I guess lost or left behind as a pup
