Puppy Mornings

Mornings are different now.  For the past year we would awaken to bird songs somewhere between 730 and 800, leisurely saunter out to the kitchen for coffee and wake up slowly.  Despite the fact that Ao-Pokole-Poko (Poko for short) is fed 4x a day (with half-n-half and puppy chow) he is HUNGRY at 7am!

So, all the dogs get fed first and THEN we have our coffee, followed by a poop-n-pee stroll around the yard.  Dexter is doing his part too -- "here's a good spot" and they both lift their legs.

Reba has made a good adjustment to Dexter's age and dignity -- giving him space.  Dexter doesn't mind the puppy's following his every move, and will even occasionally roll around with him in a tolerant and avuncular manner.
