But Why TWO Puppies?

~~Good question! Some days, we question our sanity. It is harder to house train with two--much harder. Casey has it down. Max--not so much. And the fusses! What a racket! Sometimes the wrestling is so intense, we fear someone is going to get hurt.

~~So, why did we get two puppies at once? We wanted them to have company when we are not home and playmates when we are. And for all the raucous noise, there are moments that say it all and I thought I'd share a few. ; )

Don't Fence Us In!

~~Too late! The boys' play yard is complete and, let's be honest, they love it. Romping around is dear to their puppy hearts. Not to mention, John and I are breathing easier. Being able to potty off leash should help with leash and house training. The two rowdy little boys can run after each other to their hearts' content.

~~We worked the better part of four days and the fence looks marvelous! John quipped that someone would ask us who we hired. I responded, "A-1 Fencing." As in, Alpha (John) and his #1 assistant (me). ; ) It helps when you have an experienced surgical nurse...er...project assistant with construction and tool experience. The job isn't so hard that way. We do know a thing or two about pressure treated wood, concrete, and tools.

~~We are now the proud owners of a fenced play yard that keeps the boys safe. Except for our escape artist--Max found the one spot that he could get through--between the post and the foundation. We plugged the hole and even Little Max has been contained. ; )

~~So wish us luck on house training and all that. The boys are growing and we hope all will resolve itself soon.
