Viaduct



So you might be wondering about the timing of the new puppy. Why now? Well, there is a very good reason. And - knock wood, so far it seems to be working out.

You see Ashford and Hastings have been together now for 15 years. They have never really been alone. And Hastings is/was getting old. Ashford ain't no spring Chicken mind you, but Hastings goes through phaes where you worry he won't make it out of bed in the morning.

So we thought that this was a good time for the puppy. The puppy could learn from the boys - and bond.

It has turned out well, the puppy gets along well with the big dogs (odd that Ashford and Hastings are now big dogs). In fact, he has livened them up a lot. Sometimes happily - sometimes annoyedly - but in any case he has forced them to play a lot more.

As you can tell, when Hastings has had enough, he plops an arm over the kid and goes to sleep.
