Eric & Rita are brother and sister. They’re Mini Aussies who are about 11 weeks old. Born 1/31/2024. Rita has a pink & black nose with a lot of white on her face, whereas Eric’s nose is all black and doesn’t have a lot of white on his face. They are both black, white, and brown in color. Eric is a bit fluffier than Rita too. They are both working on potty training and always go potty immediately after waking up or being in their kennel. They do understand to go potty as soon as we go outside. They sleep in a kennel together at night with a puppy pad right now. They will sleep quietly through the night and will start crying when they are ready to get up. I find that covering their kennel with a blanket has helped. They’re both great with my kids (ages 2 & 5) and my 2 resident wiener dogs (ages 3 & 6). All they want to do is play. They play hard and then pass out. Squeaky toys are a must. They like to play and bite at their leash, and don’t enjoy wearing collars. Car rides, they just want to cuddle in your lap or on a blanket. They’re the best snugglers. Everybody gets up on the couch at night for relaxation time. When I’m away from home, they are usually by themselves for about 4-6 hours. I have cameras in my house and they just sleep while I’m gone. They do great together, but i think they would do well individually also.
