Tynan "The Dark One"

SOMEONE thought it would be a good idea to get another dog to keep Fergus company and give him someone else to jump on and chew besides us. Well, after much debate and cajoling, enter Tynan. Same kennel and same breed. Not brothers but kennel-mates. He is smaller than Fergus and calmer. Fergus wears him out as much as he wore us out. Like having another baby, it is much more than twice as much work. For all his energy, Fergus is a quick study with house training and basic commands. Tynan, bless his heart, is sslloooooww on the pickup. After six months he seems to have the basics down. Nothing fancy mind you, just the basics. Fergus has been a patient mentor but seems to be holding back less these days. It gets rough sometimes. Long story short, they are a lot of fun and companionship for us as well as each other. The imagined goals have been, for the most part, met in reality.
