Mini…
Our little girl is becoming a very nice (albeit extremely spoiled) young lady. She has lost her spastic puppy outbursts. She is wanting to snuggle more and I could not be happier! One new thing is she loves to be wrapped in a towel when she comes in wet and it is so cute! She spends more time on our laps when we sit in my chair … She lays on our chest and wraps her arms around our necks… So cute! She is starting to like being brushed too! I started brushing her right when we got her but it’s been a struggle for almost 3 years! Now she let’s me brush as long as I want or until I pull too hard and she gets mad, then she leaves. She is extremely entertaining and such a little character, we couldn’t love her more.
Lily…
Continues to be the sweetest dog with the most love to give than any other dog either of us have ever known. We managed to break her from jumping up on us, yay! Teaching her to speak has been a fun but challenging process. The only reason why we wanted her to learn “speak” is Shooter was very noisy at dinner time, barking with excitement as Barry prepared their meals, when he was gone, it was so quiet it would break our hearts so we tried to get the other dogs to make some noise. Mini was pretty easy, she was all for yelling. Lily however would not speak. It took months of coaxing before she would bark freely but this week she has gotten into it and yells for her dinner. She is absolutely crazy for the tennis ball and loves a good run. Barry throws a regular ball for Lily and a miniature tennis ball for Mini and they all play catch together, very cute! Lily continues to be 100% devoted to Barry and follows his every movement closely. When Barry is away, they are both miserable, they lay in the window and mope.
Both dogs are loving their new door. It took a few days for them to understand the full scope of the doggie door but now they are pros and could not be happier. Mini especially, she loves to have some independence and the door gives her a lot of that.
They are such good buddies too, they are very cute together. Mini rules the roost but Lily is getting braver pushes her way in when it’s important to her.
We almost adopted this little guy but decided to wait. So cute!
