They're now 7 months old and my vet friend reckons they're just about fully grown. They're active, bustly, cheerful little souls. They're sometimes a bit loud, especially when there's a mop or brush in the vicinity, and they sing a lot at walk times, but they're extremely good natured and happy dogs.
Jack has learned how to open cupboard doors by pulling on the knob with his teeth. He is also strongly into fetching and bringing back the ball now. Pip still thinks that's a mug's game. If he catches the ball, he runs off with it and buries it! People said we might have trouble training them or that they might not live in harmony together because of being littermates - that one would always fight for dominance, but we have had none of that at all, and they have settled in together as well integrated, sociable individuals.
Since we've had some chilly weather of late, I thought I'd post a selection of photos of the boys in the cold. Click for larger images.

How cute! Though I think my favourite photo is of Taz rolling in the snow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a picturesque place you live, not just the countryside, which is beautiful, but the village itself.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised at Taz rolling in the snow, that's funny. The pups look as if they're having a great time. Pip in the leaves is a painterly pic. Glad they have such easy going personalities & have been easy to train. Do they like to chase the mop? Is that why they're loud then?
Thanks for sharing the stories & pics, I've really been enjoying them.
