Looks like a couple of best buddies in the making
Dogs are like people, some are social, others prefer alone and quiet. My old girl I had almost 18 years (she died New Years Eve 3 years ago) would play with my sister's dogs a bit but preferred to just kick back with the people. She was everyone's rotten little princess so she wouldn't have appreciated a housemate
The 2 little anklenippers I have now are another story. They are father/daughter and even though they have their jealous moments they love being together. Katrina traumatized them and they are even closer now. I can peek in on them at night and they will be curled up together. The boy dog (daschund) was 3 when I got him, behavior problems, grumpy and not very affectionate. Post Katrina he loves on me and kisses and acts like we are best friends all along
They have been an excellent "security system",
nobody moves anywhere around the surrounding houses without them announcing their prescence
When my old dog was declining I had decided I was going to wait awhile after I lost her before taking on another but as it turned out I ended up with the boy dog shortly before she died and his daughter a few weeks later and it was the best thing that could have happened. I will probably always try to have 2 from now on.
That's a couple lucky little doggies there, couldn't have ended up with a better "mama"... spoil them well and enjoy!
