That's Royal on the bottom.
Royal was born to be a gator.
It was a standoff.
We were shocked that the normally skittish deer would approach two hunting dogs. Two dogs who, in their 3 short years on this earth, have caught and killed rabbits, possums, and a raccoon.
But this momma was undaunted. She approached the fence and gave Colt the evil eye.
Colt replied in kind.
Laying on the porch.
'What....did I miss something??'
And, without a doubt, where he is most happy.
Colt, on the other hand, does not like to swim. He prefers to spend his time chasing shadows.
Although you'd never guess it, Major and Colt are actually brothers from the same litter.
And since its always just been the two of them visiting the lake, we were a little worried about how they would react to the addition of a new puppy. Especially given said puppy's tendency to test older dogs' patience.
The first few hours were tense, but in the end, Royal became a (somewhat) accepted member of the lake clan.
I think its going to be an interesting summer =)
And, yes, our puppy bleeds orange.
