Like our Nikita, Wiley has a thing about objects. He’s rarely without a chew or tug toy in his mouth. Nikita’s thing was tennis balls, which he never tore up, just gnawed on it and carried it around. Wiley, on the other hand, will tear up the tennis ball so I take care not to leave tennis or golf balls around for him to contemplate it for fear of him choking on the ball once he gets to the core.
Wiles seems wise beyond his years. The way he acts and disposition, you wouldn’t know he’s only 10 months old. He’s a beauty. This image of him under the shadow of a Japanese Elm who doesn’t yet have its new season growth of leaves shows how much more mature he is. He’s starting to fill-out already too!
