Auggie is 2!

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

Where did the time go, right? I'm still exhausted when I think of our first few months together.

Those of you who were telling me 2 years ago that the difficult puppies are always the ones who will make you smile later on, were completely right. He is one of those eternal puppies, a never-aging dog. Very silly, playful, and just a love bug. He does not chase balls, unless there is a ball he can steal from his brother. His favorite game is a chase. I want to put a collar on him so that we can go to the dog park and Auggie takes off and runs around the whole house having a blast thinking I'm going to chase him (usually Monty does that for me).

At the same time, he is very sweet and gentle. I would work on my computer at home, he would be asleep somewhere in the house. I would not hear him coming to my office, I would suddenly just feel a gentle touch of his cold nose on my arm. His way of saying: "Hi Mom, I took a nap, but I'm back now."

Auggie loves to pester and keep an eye his older brother Monty. They love to rough house together, but when I take Monty to the groomer and come back home without him, Auggie sits in front of the garage door waiting for Monty. I have to let him go into the garage and even open the car door so that he can see Monty is not there.

Auggie is a sweetheart. He is happy as a clam and full of personality. 

We had some stormy weather last night. Monty is not a big fan of thunder, so he jumped up on our bed in the middle of the night. Although Auggie is not scared of storms, he probably did not want to be left out and jumped up on the bed as well. Normally, they both settle down by our feet, but this time Auggie made his way towards me, plopped down in the middle of the bed and put his head on my chest. He's never done that before. It was shortly after midnight and I was very sleepy. But I could not help it and remained awake for the next hour just listening to his breathing and enjoying the closeness.

I love you, Auggie doggie! Happy Birthday, sweet boy!
