The Bears are 18 months old

Goodness can it really be! That means not only 18 months old, but we've had them for 16 months ... and they've truly turned my world upside down and inside out.

So I thought I'd share a few photos of them growing up.

I'm totally in love with them, but its not been easy at all.  Firstly, they're Terriers (enough said), next they're puppies, and lastly litter mates.

Now, I never took any of this into account when we got them, and part of me is pleased I didn't.  I read all sorts of things about litter mates not bonding with their owners, well that couldn't be further from the truth.  Yes, they adore each other.  Molly follows her brother everywhere, but when it comes to cuddle time, Molly is a Daddy's girl, through and through.  Bertie on the other hand is a Mummy's boy and my little protector.

We have hit adolescence now and boy when the books say, adolescence is worse than puppy hood, they're not kidding.  We're getting there, though and I wouldn't change it ... well, maybe some days lol.

So here you are ... a little throwback of photos for you .... I apologies now, for so many photos, but I did really struggle to keep it low in numbers.

 

I did say, there were rather a lot lol ... and this was after I whittled it down. 

I promise to share more of the bears with you on my blog in future.

The bears have arrived

In all the excitement of yesterday, poor Simon's birthday sort of got put on the back burner, but he wasn't too put out.

We went yesterday lunchtime to pick up the bears. Our neighbour came with us, as I didn't want their first journey in the car to be in a crate ... I didn't need to worry, Molly slept all the way home, and Bertie ... well, Bertie needs to see what the world has on offer.

Once home, they explored and played, until they were exhausted, and then just slept where they dropped. 

They slept so well at night in their crate. We didn't hear a peep out of them, and then this morning we were greeted with such happiness. Oh I'm just so in love with them. 

Its very much a learning curve for us; its been a long time since we had a puppy in the house. Yes, my darling Eddie thought he was still a puppy, but at least he knew when he wanted to go in the garden lol. 

I love that they always find each other and sleep like this .... I know, it probably won't happen for long.

Right, better go as I think I can hear them waking.
