Silly puppies

Lily is such a crazy little puppy. She's full of energy. She is obsessed with collecting. And she loves to be naughty. She is ten pounds of terror. And we wouldn't change a thing. She's a joy. She's affectionate. She loves to give kisses. She steals bones and toys. I repeat, she is a terror.

Caleb is the quiet one. He watches. He gives you the puppy eyes and you melt. He loves to play ball. He loves to be a seal and get the ball on the tip of his nose and then push it up the couch. He loves to get pets - on his terms. He loves to get treats. We can see it in his face that he wants to be brave. He wants to trust. He observes the other dogs. He sees they have no fear. But he just can't quite take that leap of faith. We know some day he will. Until then we take what he is willing to give. He is the good child, the angel.

All is going well.
