Oh brother

Brother Sean is staying with us for the week. As you can see, he is a perfectly normal sized puppy with symmetrical ears and a cute little EVEN heart on his forehead.

Dexter, OTOH, is ginormous, with beady little peepers and ears that defy description.

Phooey. Tips all over the place, Dex.

They are getting along quite well.

You know what they say ...

The family that excavates together


...plays together


Sean is hanging out with us until Friday, when he goes off to his new forever home. He's going to be a real live working sheepdog!

I WANNA WORK THE WOOLIES!


Well, after he plays with Dexter.

Getting difficult

to tell Piper and Dexter apart at a distance sometimes.


Dex lost his first canine tooth yesterday. One down, three to go!

I always feel like

somebody's watching meeee ....

Dexter Defies Gravity

Two peas in a pod

Dexter and sister Ginny had another playdate today.


Still got the one goofy ear goin' on ...

Do you ear what I ear?

I was pretty sure that Dexter's ears were going to end up 3/4 tipped, standing up on the bottom and flopping over at the tips. His siblings who went uppy-eared did it a long time ago. But for the last day or so, the left ear has decided it need to stand tall and proud. And so we have a new ear set.


He is in the middle of teething (he has way too many canine teeth in his mouth at the moment) so it's possible the ear will come back down again. It's also possible the other one will go up, or they may stay this way (eek!).

Sometimes they both stand up. They are simply too large to do this! I want every one of you to go home and write "Tips Down, Dex" 50 times please!

I Dream of Dexter
