Growing and Rolling

Last night I was looking at some photos of the pups the day Rob brought them home.

They were so small and plump with short little legs.

They're still small dogs and probably will stay that way, but they've grown and changed a lot. Now they look like small dogs, not young puppies. But their favorite activity is still wrestling.

Sydney is the larger and calmer dog. She's longer and taller than Mackenzie and outweighs her by three pounds. She's an easier dog than Mac. She loves attention and tries to please. I'm her chosen person and I think we'll make a good team.

Mackenzie, on the other hand, gets lots of attention, but it's not always of the positive kind. Mac likes to investigate everything and is usually in trouble. She does not like to cuddle or even to be held. She wants her freedom, but doesn't use it wisely. She's often in attack mode against Syd and loves to drag her around by her ears. She clamps onto Syd's neck, good thing there's a lot of loose skin there, and we've seen her with Syd's entire foot in her mouth.

They do occasionally work together as a team, but more often one is chasing the other to grab a toy away.

While Syd loves to be held and cuddled, Mac's favorite thing is to roll.

Inside or out, nothing beats rolling in Mac's book.
