Gareth, those are some very very cute animables. Which one is Molly and which is Sam??
Sam on the left (taller and tighter curls), Molly on the right (stockier and more wavy hair). They have the same doggy dad, so brother and sister, but Molly nearly 9 years old and Sam is still less than 2.
Very cute, and wow that's a big age difference... Reminds me of mine with my youngest brother — 17 years(!)Editing this to add a photo of the lapdog. He genuinely thinks he's a lapdog, and unfortunately it's a bit more difficult writing a dissertation with one hand. He fits better on Julia's lap than mine.
I saw an ad for matching dog and owner hoodies….I couldn’t help myself
Megan also likes it when the dog's outfit matches hers!In fact, I just showed her your matching hoodies and at first she thought you'd posted this in response to one of the photos I'd posted in the cabin thread! Def
Oh, tempting.
Double posting since I'm apparently filthy and in need of grooming.
Man, I love all these dress-alikes. The big guy (who's a foster) has a hand-me-down sweater that we dressed him in, as it got quite cold here the last few weeks. I'm concerned about what would happen if we adopted him and then returned back to Toronto (from the southern US)... I feel like we'd have to get him a winter coat or something (not to mention the fact that he'd be required by law there to wear a muzzle outdoors).
Decided to take them a little further afield to a pleasant wee wood that is nice and secure. Took Sam all of 2 minutes to find something stinky to roll in.
He is so cute looking. There are lots of warm dog jackets, but it would be a shame if he had to always wear a muzzle.Sam does not look very happy
I wouldn't worry about the muzzle if I were you.The law in Ontario is pretty (pardon the pun) toothless. Basically if someone has a problem with your dog (assuming that giant marshmallow is not actively threatening anyone), that person has to obtain a DNA sample of your dog (which I doubt you are likely to give them), then that person has to pay for a DNA test (most of which are not conclusive and are easy to argue against) and prove that your dog is one of the banned breeds. Then they have to lodge a complaint based on that evidence and eventually a city worker will come out and talk to you about your dog. It's not likely anything will happen at that point unless your dog then takes someone's arm off.The law was enacted to make it look like the government was doing something, but it was left vague so that dog owners wouldn't really be affected by it.But yes, he'd definitely need a sweater!

Compared to Daisy, our little fluffy pitbull mix was almost dainty! Def
Sam certainly seems unhappy that the nice, stinky scent is being washed away...Yeah, wow, Daisy is enormous!Here's the little guy reminding us that it's time for a walk. And a Companion on a companion. I can't believe how much the big guy enjoys cuddling... We had a Shiba Inu for 12 years (he lived to 17!), so I guess I just got used to a dog who likes to keep his distance The little guy is a bit more cuddly (definitely more cuddly with Julia). But the big guy just constantly wants to be near someone.
Got to love Corgis!We got our first one in 1984. My parents had another one after that and my brother has had half a dozen (or more) of them since the 90's.I'm the black sheep in my family in that I have never had a corgi myself- since leaving home I have had a dogo argentino, a Siberian husky, a shepherd/rotti mix, a shepherd/whippet mix, a pitbull and God Knows What mix and now my teeny terrier/chihuahua, which is a radical departure from the others. Most were around 70 pounds, except Daisy, who was twice that. Dash is bit heavy at fifteen pounds. It's a weird thing to get used to, and I have to worry about things I have never worried about before, like coyotes, owls and eagles.But Dash fits in a kayak a lot better than a 140 pound shepherd mix, so there's that...Def
The corgi was actually my sister's but after three years of no contact with her, I think it's safe to say we're holding on to him. Also, I feel I should clarify my previous comment about the Shiba Inu — my cousin had him first, and we got him when he was five because my cousin wasn't able to take care of him anymore. And he spent his last 12 years with us. For me it's kind of like the other direction insofar as now I have to get used to a dog that's about twice the size of the corgi (and thrice the size of the Shiba).
Yeah, I'd say after three years its a pretty safe bet!Shiba Inus are beautiful dogs and yours is no exception. They are just such good looking animals!Def
