AH-HA! And here we are.

This is Ophie and Luke's blog.  It's about how they grow and develop from puppies into adult dogs, and just documentation of their lives in general.
Oh, and I cannot forget to include the many ways they tend to get under their humans' skin at times.


If you are unaware of who Ophie and Luke are, let me just go ahead and give you a tiny introduction to just who Ophie and Luke currently are.  I say "currently" because there are quite a few things about them that I hope they grow out of as they mature into adult dogs.   But, yes, while those things irritate me, I cannot help but laugh.

Ophie is 8 months old.  She is the quieter of the two.  I mean quieter as in sneakier.   She is the pup that will quietly empty your bathroom garbage (which is right in the room next to you), and you won't know it until you walk in and find her chomping on a half destroyed maxi pad.  Yeah.  Ew.

And while Ophie is quieter, and typically calmer, she's the puppy that comes racing and jumping, like a jack rabbit, out of her crate in the morning.
But she stands completely still for love and hugs.

Unlike her adopted brother, Luke.
Luke is the pit bull puppy that will be all "in yo' face!" for love.  He wiggles unbelievably and sweeps the floor with his tail.  He is also estimated at 8 months old (estimated because the vet can only guess how old both of them are by their teeth).
He gives an abundance of kisses, even when he has just gotten into something he shouldn't have.
Yes, Luke is The Loud One.  He will cry his crate entrapment woes from the rooftops leaving you with a guilt headache.
Boundless energy that one has.  He's very much like a human toddler who runs and runs and RUNS, and the more tired he gets, the more active he becomes, until he finally collapses into a stretched out pile of nothing but legs and big ol' pit bull head.

Yes, love these pups I do.  Irritated with these pups I get.  And you will be able to read their antics in days to come.  And hopefully I will be able to convey their adventures and growth in the silly ways they are expressed.
