Grandma and Grandpa Moore got two new puppies - a white Scottie named Argyle (or Argie) and a black Scottie named Paisley. Argie was born the beginning of June and is now almost 4 months old. Here are a few of his pictures from when he was brand new. I am not sure which white puppy he is, but apparently they found out that he was the dominant puppy of the litter. Ryan's sister, Stephanie got the one black puppy of the same litter - a boy puppy they named Mickey. The first picture is when they were just a few days old. The second picture is at one month.
Argie is starting to look more like a Scottie. Here are a couple of more recent pictures. The first one was at about 2 months and the second one is at 3 months. Ever since they brought Argie home, he has been quite a busy little puppy. As most puppies, Argie like to chew on anything - pant legs, fingers, anything he can get his mouth on. Our kids love to try to pet and hold him, but are learning to be careful with their fingers.
Paisley is still fairly new. She was born at the end of July. She is a little cuddleier than Argie. She is just getting the hang of potty training and easily learned to use the doggie door. She doesn’t seem to be as interested in biting yet, but I am sure that will come.
These two dogs have been a challenge for Grandma and Grandpa. They didn't get along at first and they had to learn to go potty outside on the grass. They finally got the dogs to tolerate each other and they are now in the same pen together. Both are doing pretty good at the potty training. They have even gotten Argie to learn a few tricks like "Fetch" and to come at a specific command "Yep". Although Paisley is younger, she can be feisty at times. Argie can be quite rough too. They like to bite, growl and play fight, so you don't want to interfere in their little quarrels.
We are going to watch the two puppies at our house this coming weekend, and the kids are just so excited. We would love to get a dog, but I am not sure I am ready for the responsibility and costs of one yet. So for now, we will just enjoy Grandma and Grandpa's dogs. They love to visit Grandma and Grandpa Fife’s - Barney, and Grandma and Grandpa Bogue's - Snickers as well.
