Dillon has lungs!

Matt, Matt, Matt, you're going to come home to a house full of barking. I came home from class this morning and was not greeted by distressed-looking dogs at the gate. I quitely went to the back door and saw them hanging out, amusing themselves. They've been playing non-stop since I've arrived home, 5 hours ago. Dillon has been barking up a storm and then every now and then a "big boy bark" (Aussie). Dillon sounds all squeaky when he barks...so cute. He's been hopping around all afternoon egging on Aussie to play another game and sometimes Aussie will bark in his alpha male tone and scare Dillon a bit. I wanna protect Dillon during those times, but I know I can't; Aussie has to assert his dominance. I was telling my mom the other day, Dillon knows Aussie and I are the boss, but I think Aussie has truly shown dominance (b/c Dillon has went into the submissive pose)- but he has never with me. He listens to me and I know he respects me, but when I try and "throw him down", he just thinks I'm playing. Well, as long as he respects and listens to me, I guess I'll let Aussie do the "dirty work". I especially love these days when they just play, play, and play more. Dillon is so full of energy- I can't wait for you to meet him, you're going to love him instantly. Oh, Aussie will always be our big boy and of course we'll continue to showcase his dominance over Dillon, but Dillon is so different than Aussie and it makes him so easy to love. He has such an out going personality. Their relationship is so much like a "real" big brother/little brother, I just love sitting back and watching them interact.
