Almost Two Weeks...

Well, it will be 2 weeks tomorrow since little Darcy joined the family, and life Chez D&D is beginning to settle into a routine, though still a bit (quite a bit!) chaotic at times. Darcy is adorable – cute but feisty – and I could have posted a dozen fabulous photos a day, if I had a spare hand to hold the camera.

We have several playtimes a day in the yard, because this is when they enjoy each other the most. They run and run – sometimes with each other, sometimes away from each other! They chase toys, and seem to enjoy stealing the toy du jour away from each other.

Darcy won this round of "Steal the Purple Squeaky Toy"

Darcy loves exploring the garden; she has trampled the big patch of ribbon grass in the corner almost completely flat pouncing around in it.

Indoors there are a few disagreements, mostly caused by Darcy's sharp little puppy teeth. They didn't have to connect with Duncan too many times before he decided she was dangerous and should be kept at a safe distance. He's also appointed himself Chief Disciplinary Officer, and comes running from anywhere to bark at her if he hears one of us yelp when her teeth connect, so we try to yelp quietly.

Yes, she's blurry. Blurry photos seem to be the norm!

She spends some of her indoor time playing in her "play pen" in the living room, and some of it learning things like Sit and Down, which Duncan is happy to demonstrate (for a small fee, payable in kibble). Next week, she's starting school at Duncan's alma mater, Scholars in Collars. Stay tuned...
