Big brother Jake has finally stopped panting, the excitement (or anxiety) from having to put up with Brody 24/7 is his new normal.  We actually saw them laying down side by side.  Both were exhausted.  We spend most of the day telling Jake, “be nice,” but Brody is not playing by the same rules.

I discovered that Brody has two speeds when he’s not sleeping.  There’s the mini trot, four or five steps followed by rest.  The other speed is crazy puppy, a full out bolt across the lawn.

We have enjoyed our third straight night of restful sleep.  Apparently it makes a huge difference if Brody is in his exercise pen with the crate door standing open.  Oh, the little things in life sometimes make all the difference!
