"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." Unknown 
Along with my brother Raymond Pert his dog Snug is also spending some time at our house. Snug is an English Springer Spaniel like our dog Annie. They are about four months apart in age. The dogs decided today to get reacquainted. Shelby, our red heeler is asking Snug above why he keeps jumping in the pond full of murky water. 
Our dogs taught Snug here how to drink out of the fountain when the adults weren't looking. 
Shelby and Snug were trying to decide whether to chase after the toy one more time. 
I think at this point this evening Annie and Snug decided if they posed together people may notice they are the same breed. Annie is on the left, Snug on the right. Annie and Shelby aren't used to being around too many other dogs, so they had to readjust to a cousin that likes to play chase, jump in and out of the ponds, and rub his face on the carpet. After catching many photos of the three of them tonight I think we all agree they are readjusting just fine.If you want to see a beautiful video of Snug the Joiner done by Raymond Pert, go here.
