These boys are two little black weeds. Ok, at least they are growing like them. Elvis is now the heavyweight. They weighed in at 26 and 25 lbs last week at the vet. Again, wonderful words of praise at how well behaved they are.

We are still waiting for the weather to get more springlike around here. They love to get outside and I would love to train them to stop pooping on my garage floor. They seem to have forgotten how to do that outside.

My fingers are still all cut up from playing by those little razor sharp teeth of theirs. When are those things going to come out? I wonder if they will look like little pumpkins like my kids do....

Teeth brushing, ear checking, sitting, laying down and staying are all going well. They are listening to Daddy more so than to me these days. Possibly because now he's been put onto 2nd shift and he has plenty of time to play with them during the day. He also lets them run around more freely than I do when they are outside. Playing favorites I'm sure!

Mojo has a little white thing on his face (kind of where a whisker should be coming out) and the vet said he thinks that is a spot of puppy acne. Now I'm finding this pretty funny. It doesn't seem to bother him at all though as they still go at it pretty roughly in the early morning and of course when I arrive home. They like to fight each other while laying on top of you or while you are trying to walk. This is going to be addressed with the trainer very soon! Also the sneaking onto the couch and chairs. They act like little mountain dogs! That or maybe they are playing a puppy version of king of the hill.

Chewbacca is wearing us out! Its been 16 years since we last had a puppy and forgot how much work it is. He is a sweetie but is keeping us up at night, we are crate training him and he cannot hold it for more than 3 or 4 hours still. He is almost 10 weeks old and has gotten so much bigger these past few weeks. He is learning not to bite and to give kisses instead. He is so social he loves people and kids especially. We start training classes this weekend.
