Well, things are getting easier here. The pups are playing pretty well together. Widget is best with Browser outside, first thing in the morning (and I mean like 5am). She gets rougher as she gets more tired, so naps are important for both of them. I also like to separate them at various times of the day. Widget really responds positively to this. And it lets Browser catch up on his napping, or bond with one of us.

Rain is most likely part of our agenda today, so I'm going to have the dogs outside as much as possible before it starts.

Bedtime was a snap last night. Both pups were exhausted from a full day of playing so they pretty much went right to sleep. Didn't hear a peep until after 2am when Browser needed to go out. We did have one more outside break around 4:30, but then they slept until 6am!

Browsers is developing and adapting nicely. He's very alert now and responds well to his name when called. He is still a round little fatty, but you can already see physical changes in him. He's becoming more coordinated and can manage the steps like a pro. In fact, I think he has fun going up and down the indoor steps because if he disappears at all, that is the most likely place to find him. His "personal time" with us is also helping. Even though he still wants to be wherever Widget is, he now asks for attention from us.

Both dogs absolutely love the outdoors. I hope we have a nice mild winter here for their (and our) sake.

Will get some pictures today. Brent wants to get video of them too. Don't want to miss too much of their puppyhood!
