Huh? :)

Ben and Merlin

Ben in the field.

Ben and Nicky snuggling.

Ben and Nicky again.

Tuckered out.

Brothers.

Partners in crime.

Fred being cute.

Came home from work one day to find Fred like this.
He'd chewed holes in the blanket, then got tangled up in it.
Looks like he's wearing a dress :)

Playin' in the mud.

Silly puppy.

Silly puppy again.

Sleepy puppy.

Kelly rolling in the fresh hay.

Let us in!

What a cutie :)

Me and my little buddy.

Trying to escape the heat.

Ben finally got to sleep.

Fred just wants to play, Ben just wants to sleep.

Friends. 

The puppies won't leave Nicky alone. 

Rocky.

Having a snack.

Smile!
