Evasive Maneuvers

You might wonder what the other dogs in the house are all doing while the puppies tear around. Often these days the yard seems empty except for the pups whereas it used to be teaming with terriers.

You can find them by looking to whatever point in the yard is furthest from the pups for the most part. Every once in awhile they will hang out with the puppies - mostly to steal a prized fir cone one of the pups might have happened upon - but they can only handle so much wildness.


So when the pups are wrestling in the ornamental grass or tearing around in circles in the yard the adult dogs can often be found up on the deck, keeping an eye on the pups so they can hightail it out of there should the pups decide they want some play time on the deck.
