Teens and Other Puppies

Alexander and Scooter are calmly waiting for the driving instructor and the first driving lesson.

Alexander is off for his first lesson. He has never been behind the wheel.

Skipper wakes from a nap with Scooter.

Scooter is demonstrating the fine skills required for shredding...

...and rearranging the landscape!

Happily, our family has recently grown. Alexander, our oldest grandson, arrived from Europe. He seems like an American teen, but his best language is French and that is the culture he knows. Besides Paris, he has also lived in Brussels, Madrid, and Moscow. So, there is some Americanization going on. Then, there is the little foundling pup, whom we named Skipper. We think he is part black Lab and part Cocker Spaniel. Skipper's training is being accomplished in large part by Scooter, our one-year-old Maltipoo.
