Male Puppy Doesn't Let His Sisters' Antics Get In The Way Of His Sense Of Fun

A dog is laying on a dog bed with a blanket on it.

There's more fun in a group, that's true, but who's to say going solo isn't interesting too? Blanco, the lone male puppy of an all-female brood, shows us the basics.

Blanco has three female siblings, and Java, their leader, makes sure that girl-power reigns. Playing with all sorts of items in the yard, the ladies indulge themselves.

When Blanco tries to join in the fun, his sisters make it clear he's not welcome to take part in a self-declared all-female group.

Blanco shrugs it off and goes to find a better pastime. He spots a colorful castle in the middle of the yard with no pesky sisters around.

 

A white puppy is playing with a purple and yellow kite.

The delighted pup enjoys dibs on the colorful castle with plenty of toys inside, perfectly fine with playing by himself.

It doesn't take long until his sisters discover this magical castle their brother found. They immediately rush to the fort and effectively drive their brother off.

All too soon, the castle soon falls, what with three sisters showing their innate zest for roughhousing, gnawing, and pulling.

In the meantime, Blanco, the male puppy has found yet another object to play with. This pup's mastered the art of entertaining himself, and we're giving him a thumbs up!

Yep, that's just a branch, but when you've got the proper mind-set, that branch becomes a magical staff that takes puppies to wonderland.

You can say that this one's pretty happy with himself, and if his sisters do not want to include him, he's fine on his own.

We're all for girl-power, but we're digging the self-confidence and independence, Blanco! We're not sure what Java's beef is with you, but we're positive you guys could come to a truce.

Let's hope that's soon because all of you can learn from each other. That's the way to go for peace's sake, pets!
