Reacher's Role



Given Reacher's immaturity, and more importantly his neutered condition, there is no chance Vega's puppies will be a Boxer-Shepherd mix. So, you might say while Vega was in season, Reacher was welcome at the party he just wasn't able to dance.



What's not to love?

But that didn't stop him from trying. He knew something was different about this new girl in his life. And he was determined to find out what it was.

Reacher didn't attend even one "whiff and sniff," but did he care? NO! He had Vega all to himself the other 23 1/2 hours of the day. That meant he sniffed to his heart's content, no sharing required. He chased, he jumped, he rode her sidesaddle or bunny-hopped behind as Vega casually  continued her stroll around the yard.

Vega took Reacher's puppy love in stride. Like she does most of his other antics. She's patient when he bites her leg. She lies calmly when he vaults over her back. She ignores him when he barks at her relentlessly -- demanding action!

Occasionally, there comes a point when she can't take it anymore. Then Vega puts Reacher in his place in no uncertain terms. Just like any mother would.
