The Dalmatian Diaries Blog

First, I do have pics to upload but haven't had a lot of computer time since the new arrival (go figure!)

Yesterday was spent playing outside. Widget did pretty well with Browser, she did get a little rough with him a few times but he held his own (telling her off when she got too nippy).

Last night the pups were both awful after the 3am outing. Browser howled until 4am and Widget did a mixture of barking and crying. Finally at 4am I figured for them to cry so long must mean they needed another outside break (and yes, they did). When we came back in I shut Browser in his crate. I think his walking around whining was upsetting Widget (who is shut in her crate typically). This time the crying only lasted about 10 minutes. Browser is too young to be shut in too long, but I knew we'd be up at 5am again.

When 5am came around I let the pups out and I swear Browser was a new dog. He was SO excited to see Widget and couldn't wait to play. He also looked me in the eyes for the first time. I think he even grew overnight. And even Widget was different this morning. She instigated a game of chase - and they did that for a good 20 minutes (keep in mind, it's 5AM - dark, and cold!) They've been playing pretty nice now this morning. More chase, tug-of-war with the toys, and just really being more comfortable with each other. Browser seems to have learned how to use his legs a little more and is really able to run now (he's still got short, fat little puppy legs).

I think today will be a little more chaotic with the pups, but only because they are going to be more active and comfortable with each other.

Also, today Browser is 2 months old - and Widget will be 4 months old tomorrow
