Did WE do that?!?

I don't write about them much, but they are part of our life out here and we so enjoy having them around. I'm talking about our 2 dogs. They are adjusting to their new home and enjoy all the room to run. I feel bad because they spend some of their days couped up in their tiny pen, so when we can we let them out to run. They usually stick close to the house and on this particular evening I forgot I had put a bag of garbage on the porch with the intention to take it to the burn bin as soon as I had the time. (No, we don't get garbage pick-up out here, are you kidding me?!) So when I stepped outside to do something I found this...

...and these 2 were right in the middle of it, looking as guilty as ever! Errr....bad dogs!!!

My next words were, "What did you 2 do?!?" Bruiser came over, tail between his legs, ears back, and looking very guilty. Bryn on the other hand, had her tail wagging as if to say, "Look at what I did...isn't it neat?!" I just shake my head. I never realized how much personality some animals have until we got Bruiser and Bryn.

Bruiser is very mellow and prefers to sit on the porch smelling the breeze. He rarely barks.

Bryn barks at everything and she is always running around finding trouble somewhere. She probably has like the coolest puppy adventures...at least in her mind. We went for a walk after the rain this week and the minute she sees a puddle she goes hopping over to it and jumps in...literally, she doesn't ever test the water first, she's all about getting dirty and getting dirty fast. Gotta love 'em! They are good pups most of the time and they do listen well, so I can't complain. I'd rather them go through the garbage than chew on furniture.
