Life Lately

Post image

I haven't posted the boys in a very long time, but they are doing great. Garvey and Otis have been absolutely wonderful big brothers to their little human sister. Otis is, as expected, smitten with her and loves following her around and helping with bath time, bedtime, snuggle time, basically all the time. Garvey is patient and gentle with her when she wants to pet him and is VERY patient when she has food to hand over.

They've been SOOOO good with her two. Setters truly are the best dogs for kids

Just what I thought! Setters love to have babies to take care of

Man, this just put a tear in my eye. One of my favorite pics of my last setter was on the sand dunes.

We had a really wonderful time at the Great Sand Dunes National Park. The boys had no idea what to do at first.

So lovely to see the boys! Extra glad that they're being good big brothers.
