It's been a long time since I had two pups growing out together, and I forgot how fun and goofy it was to watch two like-minded puppy-souls tumble and tussle and explore the world together.  They've recently discovered my front yard, and run around all over the hillside with big loopy dog grins on their faces. Ilsa took a dip in our fountain while Crystal Buckey, who has Willow and Apple, two lovely lady Silkens, in Mo, was out here visiting while she and her pal Megan were on vacation. We didn't catch the swim she took on film, but the image of her leaping out of the water, panicked happy grin on her face, and the spray of water droplets shining in the sunlight is etched in my memory.
 We've been calling the girl Ilsa, after that insanely schlocky 70's series of movies " Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS", since roughly 2 weeks after she was born, since she was twice the size of her brothers, blond, and prone to squashing her sibs. Keeping with the Germanic theme, we've been calling the boy Dresden, I've always loved the name.
  We're going to be working on socializing this week. They've met a big mess of people, since we've had visitors almost constantly, and three parties since they were born,  but they've only been over to someones house once, and they need some car ride experience too.
