I am dog sitting!

[Freedom]

I am dog sitting for 9 days. Please meet Clea and Brutus. They are 9 years old, half siblings (same father, different mothers). They are about 2 months apart in age. They came over this evening. It has been interesting.

Sitting with my Dad.

Sugar does NOT like them, and is still on her leash, after 3 hours. And Brutus thinks it is great fun to chase cats; which means Clea chases him; which gets Marlin barking and Lacey joins in with Sugar charging after everything which is moving.

Clea and Chaplin spent almost 5 minutes sizing each other up.

After the first 24 hours, I hope things will settle down, lol.

awwwww, I love Brutus! I want my next chi to be cream. How are things going with them today? How is the feeding going? Brutus needs something in his diet changed, that is most likely the cause of the tear stains he has. Is Sugar calming down some? She just doesn't want to share her family and her favorite chair LOL.

How big are they? They look close to Chopper's size but in pics it is always so hard to tell.

[Freedom]

They are both about 5 pounds, with Clea being just a wee bit heavier. Can't tell by holding them, but looking at them, you can see she is bit more filled out in the withers.

Brutus? Doesn't have tear stains, I think you mean Clea, the light colored one? Yes, I noticed that as well. They have been eating Field Trial; it is not a food I am familiar with.

Thanks for the notes!

Crap in the picture where she is looking at the cat it looked like it was the darker of the two, because of her sabling on her back. I guess I should have looked at her collar LOL.
