Freckles and Ryley are growing up so fast, not quite full grown yet, but they have almost lost their puppy look. They have definitely hit that teenage boy stage but show flashes of the brilliant dogs they are growing into. Freckles is the softer of the two, whereas Ryley is hard headed and independant but [...]
