After an extensive hiatus due to back issues (mine, not the boyos), we’re back to blogging. The boyos are 7 1/2 months old. Since my last entry they have been neutered and were back to playing the next day. Pepito is holding steady at 8 pounds, and Carino weighs 11 pounds. Their biggest accomplishment in the last two weeks is walking on leash. I thought they would never “get it,” so I was excited to see that happen.
In the warm days of late fall I enjoyed sitting out in the backyard while Carino and Pepito were exploring the yard. Carino with his long legs liked to take running leaps into my lap.
In the cool mornings of late fall I introduced the boyos to cableknit sweaters which they don’t like putting on and taking off but don’t mind wearing outside.
The greatest challenge remains getting them to do their potty business outside. They will “go” outside if I take them out every two hours, but rainy, and now cold weather has been a hindrance. They will use their potty pads, however. I have decided that the potty patches are not all that great an idea. They smell and require frequent washing down with a hose; that is a problem during inclement weather.
Cold weather has arrived, and the boyos are well content to stay inside and cuddle on the bed.
