Randy comes by for a visit







Hi again. Randy came over yesterday for a visit and it went almost good. Leo is now up to 26 pounds or so..his adult weight. Randy is maybe 5 pounds. When Leo tries to play with Randy the little guy doesn't stand much of a chance. Poor Randy ended up getting kind of mauled by big brother (like american tax payers) and it could not have been much fun for him (exactly like american tax payers). Leo didn't have fun either as he got scolded over and over for being too rowdy. When Leo was a pup he was much larger than Randy so I did not anticipate the huge size difference in the boys when I thought this up. I am not changing my plan, just the method and execution of it. You can see in Randy's awake picture that his ears are back and he looks scared, this is cause Leo is barking at something (a cat or neighbor). Randy was not a sissy when Leo poked at him as he did growl and bark, trying to show no fear. I am hoping the little boy will gain a little size before the 4th and won't be so fragile when he comes home for good. This is gonna be an adventure for me for certain. I can't be sure just how sturdy Randy is and how much of Leo's play he can take without injury. I will have to be forever dilligent while they are together until they get closer in size. Some of the puppies in Randy's litter are tougher than he is and I must have chosen the wrong one, still I love him and don't want to pick a different one. Should have waited until they were older. When I first saw and held him I was smitten and therefore the challenge has been presented. Wish us all some luck that this turns out for the best.

  1. Aw, Randy is so beautiful; I'm sure with a little time Leo will become a great big brother. Your fence and yard are amazing, they'll really enjoy living there.
    I really look forward to following your blog!

  2. Randy is cute! Not to worry, puppies are pretty sturdy with other dogs. I'm sure you'll be on top of the play times with Leo. Java was 8 lbs when we brought him home and was scared of Pippin, now he is 27 lbs and thinks he is the boss dog. Randy may give Leo a run for his money after a few bowls of dog food! Great looking fence too!
