Say hello to Miss Lily and her sister Alice. They're about 10 weeks old now and have grown a lot since this photo was taken

As every dog-owner knows, they're not pets but family

Are they both yours, Nick ?
it's just that litter sisters can give you some problems later on. If they're both yours, I suggest that you enrol them in dog training/behavior classes before they get too old (right away !)

They're very affectionate and playful but spend most of the time fighting over toys. The only other problem so far is their tendency to chew everything and need to be housetrained. When they've had all their injections (one today and another next week) we're going to take them to obedience classes

I'll assume they're about tweve weeks old then. that's a good time to start training.
There are loads of doggy forums on the net, Nick. it's a good idea to join one which is related to your breed and has some connecetion with the Kennel club.
No matter how much you already know about dogs, these sites are full of knowledgable breeders including vets and they'll offer you all the advice you need...for free...

Lily seems to be better behaved and easier to train than Alice. She's learned to take herself outside and responds when called. However, she bites a lot more than her sister

Time to upload another picture. Lily has almost mastered house-training and Alice has learned to fetch on command. They still squabble over toys and fight for my affection though

They're not quite big enough to help Centrix with the cows yet, but Alice has already discovered beer. After a couple of drops she's sound asleep

Beer is actually a good natural mosquito repellant for dogs. In fact it's a good natural mosquito repellant in general. Just be careful not to give her too much at this age, she might become an alcoholic like my Irish Wolfhound  .

I don't give her much: just a few drops from the bottle. Strangely enough, Lily doesn't like beer but loves raw carrots

Here's a recent photo of Lily. She's very similar to Emma: her nose is already turning pink and she has the same big dark eyes and facial expressions. She's the more affectionate of the two as she follows me everywhere and loves attention. Her favorite toys are tennis balls and her favorite food is raw carrot
