Donegan and the Puppies

Donegan is the dog that is most likely to start a fracas with the adult dogs. Surprisingly, he is also best with the St. Brigid's puppies. He will take them out into the back and very gently play with them and show them some "moves."



In this picture he is lending his gentle authority to suggest that Bidelia give Oisin a break and that Maitias not join in.


Bidelia, asking for attention. Ok, it really is Bidelia demanding attention from Donegan.



Which he is perfectly willing to give her. Every time he would raise his head, she would bat him in the face again. After about 5 minutes, when he raised his head she streaked off, with Donegan chasing her. She is a fast little puppy, she made it back to the inner pen and under a bench before he could catch her. Of course, when he came back to the rest of us in the back, she noticed that she was missing the fun and made a running loop around us and back to the bench. This time Donegan just waited for her to return and the whole pack wandered off to explore under the trees.
