Description:
Meet Pokey, Mindy is a very big smuggler, she loves to lay up next to you and put her head on your chest to sleep. Pokey her brother likes to lay down between your legs with his head resting on you to sleep, (they have become spoiled rotten sleeping in bed with us. When they are not running freely thru the house they have been crated (they do not like it at first but do settle down and sleep) We have been working on potty training and that has been going very well. They will give you signs that they have to go out and I have also been letting them out whenever they wake up. (can be a few times a night). They are good with our smaller dog they can play rough at times but we are working on that with them. Right now they are alright with cats, they do chase after them and try to catch them. When they get a little bigger it may not be good for them to be with cats. They love any type of toy that squeaks' and have started chasing balls around the house, tug of war with a toy is their favorite game. These little babies can only be outside for a short period of time in this weather, they do not have much hair and get cold easily. They will go out in the back yard (fenced) to go the bathroom and bark at the back door to come in. There personalities are getting funnier and more unique everyday. These two little bully babies will be wonderful dogs for who ever is lucky enough to get them....
