Learning and Growing

The little doggies are learning more and more every day! We have had them exactly one week but it feels like we've had a lifetime with them. It's been a lot to get used to, but they are so darn cute we can't imagine life without them. They are good eaters but don't like having separate bowls. They have way too many toys but only seem to want to play with whatever their brother has at the moment. They are gradually getting use to their crate, but they still have to come sleep in mom and dad's room to feel comfortable at night. They really hate it when anyone leaves the family room (where their crate is).

Rudy seems to be understanding that we have to do our 'business' when we're outside, but Leo has a tendency to forget that point. He is more interested in sticks, leaves and rocks when he's out there. This makes mommy mad when it's 3am. We can't wait until they can hold it a little longer and we don't have to take them out every 3 hours. Most of all, they like to sleep and are sleeping next to me right now, as a matter of fact.

We are trying to get them used to their collars and leashes - they don't quite know what to think of it yet.

They did learn how to go up and down the deck stairs to get outside, and they know how to jump out of the sliding glass door to get outside - progress!

We've had a lot of visitors and they think that little kids are especially fun! Here is baby Piers with the 'dah' as he calls them.
