Counting Down

It'll be another 10 days or so before Helios arrives. It seems that my baby brother is quite a character. May I quote the breeder:

"Yes he is a thinker, always thinking of what mischief he can get up to!!! He loves food and toys "

Now what else can I do that's fun?


"The pups have been have a training session each day. Sometimes it is lead training and other times it is grooming. Mr Helios can throw an bit of a tantrum if he doesn't want to do something and sulks! He is getting better. All the puppies are doing with the lead training sessions is learning to walk on the lead without jumping up and down and squealing (which sometimes Helios still does!!). "

Pouty boy


"They were VERY naughty last night :) Helios was the first one caught but the other three were naughtier! We planted a lemon tree in the dog yard a few months ago and to protect it while it is young it has four steel posts and wire around it. Last night when I went over to put them away for the night there was Helios sitting inside the wire and the other three running around teasing him. I got him out and told him he was naughty and went into the shed to wash their dishes and get thier bedtime biscuit. When I came out Helios was sitting by the shed door being a good boy and the other three had got under the wire and were setting about destroying the tree. They were told off and put to bed."

The trouble makers...


Looking for more trouble?


Actually, the humans have been saying that Helios look like Tommy when he's looking serious.
This is the closest 'serious' picture I have of Tommy:





Do they look alike?

The humans have already started making fun of me by saying that the next time we go out together, strangers are going to think that Tommy is the Dad, I'm the Mum and Helios is the baby. Grrr....
