Ruminations

A most affectionate, excitable, demanding, enthusiastic, fussy, sometimes suspicious, noisy, mischievous, attention-seeking little dog.

Loves pats and being the centre of attention (she usually is, as she tends to be the smallest dog in the park).

Enjoys being with her pack, carob drops, and wrestling with Paco. Loyal to M, and adores him intensely.

She has never been alone.

I was just looking at photos of the dogs, and realised that they document how the dogs have grown and changed over time.

Paco was particularly gawky as a puppy, I think. Look at those ears! He’s filled out a fair bit since, and has grown into his ears. He still has a wry mouth, though. This means one side of his jaw is longer than the other. It doesn’t seem to affect him particularly.

Peppi doesn’t seem to have changed very much. She isn’t actually much bigger than when we first got her, but she has filled out a fair bit and is rather chunkier than she was as a young puppy. It will be interesting to see how (if) she changes over the coming year.

I am officially a Dog Person now. I would never have thought this possible if you’d suggested this a couple of years ago.
