Okay, I’ve not had a very good evening on the emotional end, but looking at this picture from earlier this evening does at least make me smile. This is Dugal and Rogin hanging out together at the doggy park. Two full-blooded American Cocker Spaniels, same color, but completely different personalities.
There is even the same mole under their chins so I actually think they might be brothers from different litters two years apart. I rescued both of them from petland, so if they are using the same breeder, then it’s a possibility. I wish I knew for sure though.
Dugal is the “I eat everything” one who is always worried about Becca and I. I could probably feed him burgers for a month and he wouldn’t gain any weight. In fact, we only got puppy food this last month and he still isn’t gaining any. He sleeps at the foot of the bed and more than takes up his section of the bed by sneaking up right between us when we sleep.
Rogin so far is a bit more laid back. He sits when he eats and occasionally lays down and never is in a hurry to eat his food. He also has been known to steal shoes and teddy bears. He will run into Aidan’s room behind us and grab a teddy bear and run. It’s really cute watching a puppy try to carry a teddy bear twice as big as him away while trying to avoid detection. He’s more mischievous than Dugal and often tries to bite the stub of Dugal’s tail.
In other news, I am seriously beginning to get a little bummed out about the job search.
The only thing more fun than a dog is two dogs. Three can be even more fun, sometimes….Sometimes not!
