Boys and their Toys

Sorry it has been a while since the last post- we started up the home improvement chores again, so I got a little side tracked with the doggy blog. Anyways...

I realized yesterday that the little boys have so many toys, it is ridiculous. And every night, I put the toys back next to the dog bed in the living room, but the boys make sure that their toys get the rule of the house because those toys always seem to be strewn about the living room, bedroom, hallway, kitchen, dining room and bathroom the next day. Below is a sample of their toy selection:

It is actually really cute- Cooper loves the toys that squeak or make noise. In the mornings, the boys will get up and head to the door to go outside, but Cooper has to go grab a toy to take with him. His favorite is Carrot. He'll go rescue Carrot from the place where I put it the night before, wait at the door until he is let outside, take Carrot over to the grass to do his business, drop Carrot, do his business, pick Carrot up, then come back inside. Why does he feel the need to drop Carrot while he is actually doing his business, I'll never know, but it must be proper dog etiquette.

Bear loves whatever toy Cooper has, but no real favorite. Half the time they are fighting over one toy or chasing the other one around to get a toy. The boys love to play tug of war together with the ropes that they have. The first rope (and possibly first toy they got) is a little rope, lovingly known as "the puppy rope" and is about 5 inches long. So half the time, they each take an end and start prancing around the house with it in their mouths. It is so small, they are prancing side by side, in sync. It makes me laugh. I've been trying to get a picture of the "rope prance" but they don't prance long enough for me to find my camera.

It is hard to tell, but the brothers are actually sitting side by side... chewing on separate rawhide bones. No, this is not staged... they must be tired.
