The boys are really doing well. Still doing battle with one another but also learning "settle". Got them some new toys last night which lasted only a few minutes and then they returned to their older toys. I'm sure it won't take long for the new toys to become favorites.

Rhys (our 7 year old) is getting more comfortable about playing with them and he still needs reminders not to run away from them and be in control and speak firmly to them. He's learning just like the rest of us.

Seeing the guys in the photos they don't look that big but they have grown a lot in the last two weeks.

We called an In Your Home obedience trainer in. This is going to work out great for us. We are all being trained in "preventing bad habits". She was in awe of the little guys and how well the potty training was going.

They went in for their 8 week vet visit. Both were very well behaved and went on their leashes. Bob said not any problems with them riding in the car. Both were very curious. Seeing how the trainer taught us to work on their paws, ears, mouths and other private areas they made it through the check up with high honors and a comment from the vet that they were "good pups!"

Mojo - the worrier and cuddler - is weighing in at 15# 7 ounces.

Elvis - the rambunctious (sp?) one is weighing in at 14# 13 oz.

We are working on our sit, down, off, settle, and come. They really like the hotdog scented puppy chow we are treating them with.

Kids have been taking them out to play after school and it is funny to watch them play king of the hill on the snow mounds. I will have to see if Jade has any new photos of them outside to post. I am sure this spring is going to bring lots of exploring and lots more training our way.
