The puppies were unaware of the “big dogs” until recently. Now they are clamoring for Chev and Xupe’s attention when they see them. The puppies engage easily, albeit rambunctiously, with visitors and are increasingly curious as they explore everything they encounter outdoors – leaves, garden hosing, perennials, tree trunks, Biff’s boots sitting outside the barn, etc.. I laughed when I saw #2 slowly approach and bravely bark at the tire of Biff’s Suburban today. It was as if he was barking down a dinosaur!

Yesterday, visitors Zan and his sister, Tia, played with our puppies while their adorable 11 week old puppy, Scout, hung out in the house with their mom, Nina. Our puppies weren’t quite grown-up enough to play with our charming canine visitor. Zan described his new puppy as “an angel.”  We get it.
