THE TEAM

When Doc first came to live with us, Llewis made it clear that although Doc was cute as a baby bunny and about as dangerous, Llewis wanted nothing to do with him (Doc) and was to be left alone.
 
But Baby Doc wanted to play and in typical Belgian style, decided that he was going to play with Llewis, whether he liked it or not.
And so, thus was born THE TEAM.
 
Doc, a little hesitant in his new home, began waiting for Llewis to go out. When Llewis came in, Doc looked around to find himself either alone or at the mercy of Conley, and came in. It got to the point where one rarely went out without the other, and both came in at the same time.

And it is still that way. When they play tag, Doc is carefully restrained.

When they play "Chase Me", Llewis leads off and is rarely captured.

 
 
 
Llewis seems to be mysteriously faster than Doc, despite having one unworkable back leg and one partially goofy back leg. The "Bunny hop run" with Llewis is necessity.
 
 
Doc watches from his spot at the back fence. He and Llewis wait for Ori, the Border Collie who lives in back of us, to come out so that they can run the fence. They understand that when I show up with the leashes, the game is over. (Or, the jig is up.)
 
 
Here are the two Terribles, discussing what they can get into, destroy, drag around the yard. My understanding of this relationship is that Llewis actually picks out the object they are about to torment and destroy, and sends his guided missle to get it.
In this photo, Llewis is saying:
Remember the last garden hose they bought? Well, that's the new one. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!!
 
And off goes the black dog to resection the new garden hose.

WAIT! I am Conley. What does Llewis have that I don't?

HAHA I will tell you what I have that you don't have:


a Bodyguard.
