Cony and Mesquite Tear Up the Town (King of the Rat follow up.....)



When I first offered to petsit Juniper and Mesquite I was a bit nervous. Puppies have a lot of energy and they are a lot of work and I only have a small amount of experience with puppies this young. Luckily we have had wonderful sunny weather so have been able to get them outside in the yard a lot and so that helps with the accidents in the house that comes along with puppydom. The two tykes do play together as well and so it has actually been very enjoyable to have them here and they make us laugh constantly!  Then Cony arrived and the puppies....,especially Mesquite, ended up being a true blessing! Cony and Mesquite could play for hours on end and they do just that! Juniper gets in there now and then but she is too little for it to be safe for her if the boys are really tearing up the town, but she is smart and when she has had enough she goes to lie down on the bed on the porch that she loves where she can watch the silly boys spar and wrestle, and chase from a safe distance on her thrown. Both boys love the Tail Teaser by Kyjen something fierce. (Junie loves it too and we need to play with her when the boys are out of the picture so they don't trample her, stay tuned) They can practice all their vermin killing moves and they can go and go and go.



Mesquite says "I am now King of the Rat!"

Here comes Cony on his way to claim back "his" rat that Skeeters managed to get from him.

Skeeters first surveying the toy booty.

Mesquite putting the moves on Mr Squirrel. Who knew such a young puppy would know how to do a rattie death shake? Pretty impressive I say.
This made me laugh! When the boys were in the house finally tuckered out from all that nonsense I went looking for Juniper and there she was......she had somehow found the rat when the other two hooligans were back in the house, so in the end Juniper is King Of The Rat! You go girl!

  1. Love seeing him play. He is such a character! He use to go running through the house full speed ahead and when he would run from a carpeted area to the wood flooring he would jump like he was doing hurdles. He is very good with his toys and never tore them up. He had stuffed animals and squeeky toys that were his favorite here. He instinctively knew to bring them back too when we would throw them.
