So, last Sunday, we drove out to my parents' house....for a couple of reasons, really. Ally & Malachi (my 4 year old niece and 3 year old nephew) were in town for a few days, for a visit and we wanted to see them. But we also went to meet my parents' new puppies. We took Windsor with us so he could play with the kids and so he could meet the puppies too, and so we could watch the puppies playing together and so we could watch the kids playing with the puppies and......well, you get the idea. We spent two hours in the back yard, wearing them out!! And by "them", I mean ALL of them......the puppies, the kids....heck, even Bart and I were worn out when we were done! Haha. Ohhhh, what fun it was though. Puppies and kids are just full of wacky antics and you throw a bunch of both together and hilarity ensues! ;)
I didn't manage to get a photo of all 3 puppies together, because our giant puppy wasn't the least bit interested in sitting still like these two did! Stinker.
This is Sophie. Or Sophers, as I like to call her when I'm snuggling her and smooching her head. She's a brave little girl. Windsor is a verrrry big boy compared to these two, and while they were both pretty timid around him, Sophie would get her nerve up and approach Windsor again and again, until he'd look at her and send her running to Bart again, for cover! Hee. She's a sweeeeeeet baby who loves to give kisses. Doesn't she just look like a girl? A pretty little girl!
And this is Sebastian. I love that his ears sort of look like he has crazy bed head. :) He's a verrrrry well-behaved little boy who was not too sure about the giant puppy running around in the back yard. He was definitely a bit scared of Windsor, but got more brave as the afternoon wore on. He's suuuuper sweet, just like his sister, and was very happy to just sit next to one of us and hang out. No need to approach the giant scary puppy! Hahaha.
Meanwhile, Windsor of course, just wanted to PLAYYYY but the little puppies weren't so interested in rough-housing with the big puppy so he had to learn to be the "older" dog, which was something he was definitely not used to. He's had lots of practice playing with other dogs (and LOVES that more than just about anything!) but he's usually the 'baby' of the group and definitely not usually the dominant dog, at the dog park. It was fun to see him as the more mature dog around other 'babies'. He did really well, sweet boy.
Sophie and Sebastian are brother and sister. They are approximately 4 months old now and their vet suspects that they are Australian Shepherd and Border Collie mixes. A lady that my parents know was driving down a country road near where this lady lives, and saw a bag on the side of the road. She got out to investigate and found SIX PUPPIES in the bag, dumped on the side of the road. Can you even imagine?! Goodness, I know stuff like that happens all the time, but it is truly heartbreaking to see their sweet little faces, and to get their soft little puppy kisses and imagine what might have happened to them, if God hadn't put that lady in the right place at the right time to find them.
Anyway, this is the story of how my mother and little sister ended up bringing two puppies home. Surprise, Dad! LOL. (For the record, this wouldn't be the first time my mom has brought home a surprise pet! Haha.)
Annnnnyway, aren't they adorable?
Happy weekend!
