Puppies!!!

 We are on cuteness overload around here these days.

 Willie had his first grooming appointment and was so fluffy when he came home.

 We are over the hump with the break in period for these two.  It was a bit rough at first and took about 6 weeks but they are best buddies now.

 Between Ziggy visits and having the kids here, the W's were distracted and actually started to get along so much better.  Willie rarely goes in his kennel anymore.

 Ziggy, at first, was afraid of his shadow and seemed to not know how to play.  That quickly dissipated.  He runs like the wind and plays hard.

 The funniest part is that he plays like a chow chow having learned from them.

 He grabs both of them by the mane and gets a mouth full of hair.

 It is very hot and humid here so they take many water breaks during playtime.

 Winnie is the pack leader.

 They get into stare downs where all three just stand and stare and wait for the first one to move.

 Ziggy gets his ears pulled on a lot.

 Sometimes Ziggy needs a break from the furry ones.

 They run up the driveway.

 They run down the driveway.

 Ziggy has learned to stand in the water container so it doesn't slide around as he drinks.

 Willie gets tired and steps out of the game for a break.

 Ziggy looks for Winnie.

 Back to it again.

Ziggy has learned how to take Willie down.  He has not attempted to do this to Winnie yet.  Smart Bloodhound!
