Day 6

My two dogs pretend not to like each other, but they really do, I think. Simon is the big brother (the footprint on the left is his) and Divot is the little sister (the right one is hers). They don't exactly cuddle up with each other but they do sit together on a chair, especially is someone is on that chair. They will both tag team you when it is dinner time, each taking turns staring you down until you finally get up and get their dinner. But they are completely different personality wise, Simon is always in motion, jumping and running around, when we go for a walk he leads the way. Divot on the other hand wants nothing more than to sit on your lap, her sole ambition in life is to take a nap so she has the energy to go to bed. On walks she lags behind and would rather be carried, she thinks she belongs to a movie star or something. As most people with pets say, I don't know what I would do with out them, they infuriate me, they drive me nuts, but they make me laugh. I'm glad I saw their little footprints next to each other in the snow, it might be the best picture I have of the two of them together.
