The Furries! -- Backpost #3

So if you have ever seen that CSI, you should know it's not that kind of furry.

Back in December, my Mom gave us one of her dogs named Scouter. He is a 3 year old tri color black sheltie. He is a sweetie. He grew up in a house with 2 other dogs and so we figured he was kind of lonely. So we decided to get a companion sheltie. So we started looking. Not very many dogs in our area. So finally we found one we liked in Arizona and we put a deposit down. About a day later my Mom called and she had purchase a puppy for me and told me to go pick it up. So now I have two puppies and Scouter. They couldn't be more different either. Mac is an "over the breed standard" bi Black (he looks like a order collie) and he is huge and cuddly. He weighs about 25 lbs right now maybe more. Shelby ( original name Cocoa) is an "under the breed standard" dog and she is a sable (think Lassie) and she weighs about 6 lbs.

Both puppies are about 16 weeks ( Mac being two weeks older) so are at an age where they are easier to housetrain. There were a lot of accidents in the beginning (thank you Adam's Mom for the steam cleaner), but we have been accident free for 2 days! They are pretty damn cute. Adam has been in the field so Jenna has been potty training them. This sometimes involves getting up at 2 am if a puppy wants to go out. I love them dearly though.

awwww you should post pictures! i love puppies. annie is part collie, i love her colors :]] collies are awesome.

but housebreaking sucks. when we got annie, we had hardwood floors so it wasn't a big deal if she had an accident. but i can't imagine housetraining with carpets! how frustrating!
