Bob and Sophie.





Bob and Sophie are well. Eight weeks old today. Bob is quite a lad, inquisitve and playful. Sophie by contrast is rather retiring. In fact that's an understatement. She's so shy she  burrows under her brother when we walk into the courtyard

The breeder picks Sophie up and points out that she's becoming black, white and taupe like her father. Bob however is quite simply black and white. As we drive away Bob turns his head and follows the car with his eyes. A look that says ' I is your boy ' . Sophie , oblivious to our departure and glad to be left alone, is watching a farmyard chicken strut by.

Will post more tomorrow but snows coming and it's a long journey back.

  1. Yep, Bob is trying to help you make your decision - maybe wondering why you are leaving and he is staying there.

  4. Sophie has such a sweet face. They'll grow up so fast, next thing you know they'll both be outgoing and assertive. From there, it's just a short step to asking for the car keys, and you'll be staying up all night waiting for them.

  5. They're just adorable! Sounds like Bob is going to be the rough and tumble sort, while Sophie may be the well-behaved, lady-like "don't muss the fur please, I've just had my bath" type. Sophie may just need a little one-on-one time with her own family to come out of her shell.

  7. Mom Kim again - I am at work and not able to watch the video but from the other comments sounds like little Sophie is going to be the diva of the two - she's going to hold back on her best qualities until later. And oh yes, Bob is going to be the all-boy, ever exploring and searching for new places he can conquer.

  13. I am happy that Bob and Soph get to spend that extra four weeks with their Mum. The smartest dog we ever had was with her mother until she was three months old and she knew a whole of things that her Mom taught her during that time, a very mannerly dog, she was.

  15. More photos, please.

    Try very much not to prejudice yourself already when it comes to Sophie and her behaviour. She needs your love, attention and understanding to develop. Actually, you may find once the kidz arrive home, the lines between them will blurr.
    Safe trip home.
