A quick Penny update:
Jared and I spent Christmas with Bruster and Ptilota at my grandparents house, with my mom, brother, uncle, aunt, cousin, and grandparents. It was Bruster's first time there, and boy did he love it. We stayed the night there, and decided to test him and see how he would do sleeping without his crate, in a new house. Regardless of me having "mom ear" all night (sleeping with one ear listening to make sure he was okay) I had a full nights sleep because he didn't budge once. We put a big warm blanket on the floor at the foot of the bed, and he and Pty snuggled up and slept the whole night through. He loved all the attention, and of course, all the turkey (We don't often give them human food, only on special occasions and in small doses).
Sorry to all of you Bruster fans out there- I haven't posted in 15 days (15 days of no new Bruster pics!!! AGGHHH) I am currently a graduate student at Moss Landing Marine Labs, getting my masters degree in Marine Geology and Wetland Biology- needless to say, sometimes its gets a little busy around here. Luckily I can do quite a bit of work from home (great for the puppies) but it does afford me little time to sit on the internet and blog while in the middle of finals and whatnot. That being said, sorry for the delay in new pics! Here are a few for you... Bruster is doing GREAT, he is turning into a sassy, smart little guy who has lots of energy and LOVES to play tug of war with Pty. They have been a little cooped up with the rain (and my work load) but we are looking forward to a weekend of outings. We did take Bru to his first "new house" outing, a friends birthday barbeque,where there were puppies that were 9 weeks old and 12 year old senior dogs. Bruster was great to everyone, loved the puppies, and played until he fell asleep in the middle of the kitchen floor. He is so easy to handle, he is going to make his permanent parents so happy...
