The Boys

In the crate they peep out. The larger of the two barks loudly and wants to be held. The other slightly smaller one also wants to be held; only he waits in silence.

They both play hard and yes they fight like brothers do. It is nothing unusual, just regular, ‘you where too close to me’, type of fighting. At the end of the day they cuddle and sleep next to each other and all is forgiven.

The girls fight as well. Maddy, the bigger of the two always seems to go for the neck and it looks like she is beating up her sister. It’s all part of pecking order that dogs have. The girls really do love each other as do the boys.

One of the boys likes to sit on his butt and uses his paw to balance himself on the side of the crate. He just likes to sit up straight. Even when he was smaller he would get himself up on the side of the whelping box and sit up. Sort of like he was in an arm chair and he liked to be propped up like that, with his tongue sticking out a bit, he still does that.

The family that wants the boys wants to keep them together. They may end up in a big rig and travel, keeping the new owner company on his long halls. If that works out then they will have grand adventures and I couldn’t be happier for both of them.

In time the boys will go on their way and learn to be good with another family and ‘make their way in the world’, so to speak. I do care for all the pups we have had and I am so glad I got to meet them all. Its’ been great to get to know them and see all of their personalities. This time we are keeping Maddy, named after a friends and Crackers, who also goes by ‘Crackers Morven’. In the times we have bred our dog everyone else gets a puppy this time I get two!

As for the boys, they make a great pair. I couldn’t be happier for someone to take both of them and keep them together. I’ll miss them, but I’m happy for them to ride on into the sunset!
