Dogs

Dogs are funny to watch. I have 2 that we adopted from the pound, and we were told by the workers that they were brothers. They look nothing alike. But, we bought it, (good way for them to find homes for 2 in one shot), and could not separate them, so we brought them home. They were sickly at first and it was a lot of work and mess. I mentioned the fact that they look nothing alike and I'm sure some people chuckled and thought "sucker", but someone said that dogs can have 2 different fathers. So, I bought that story, sounds impossible but this person seemed to know what they were talking about. Anywy, on with the story.

These two are never apart, 2 totally different personalities, and look like 2 different breeds. They are so funny, when they run, it's like they are connected in the middle, running at the same speed, both turn at the same time, it's hilarious. Todd, the brown one, he thinks he's the watchdog of the house. He barks at everything, and sounds pretty vicious, so, when people were being burglarized in the neighborhood, our home was not hit. Mmmmm. Petrie, on the other hand, is the sweetest dog you ever saw. He will get up along side of you and lean into you so hard like he wants to be part of you. He has a sweet bark, wouldn't scare a flea. If someone walks in the back of our house, Todd will set off barking like a fool, and he'll even nip at Petrie if he even tries to bark, because TODD is the watchdog and he doesn's want anyone infringing on his territory. But if they get out, Todd can't find his way home. One time Petrie came back after much calling, but no Todd. So I told Petrie, "go get your brother". Off he went and sure enough, he came back with Todd at his heals, ears flying back. If they are ever separated, they cry. They sleep in the same large cage at night, and I only hear grumbles once in a while. (Just like kids)

So, I think they are brothers. They love each other, protect and watch out for each other, play together and cry when they miss each other. They're laying out on the patio right now, one sleeping because there's nobody to bark at and one is snapping at flies. Too cute. Two helpful, troublesome, noisy, sweet little blessings that needed a little love and brought a lot of love with them.
