A Good Match

Chilly

Prissy

I love these pups.  Every night when I come home they run and yip and bark and jump and generally act like they haven't seen me in 10 years.  Sometimes they do that when they haven't seen me for 10 minutes, but you know they don't know the difference.  Like one version of the saying goes, "I hope I'm half as good a person as my dog thinks I am."  

I started out by taking Chilly with me when I moved into the apartments right across from work.  I could barely afford the deposit for one dog, so two dogs were out of the question.  After I got married and we moved into our house I talked my husband into letting me get a dog for our dog.  I thought Chilly needed someone to spend her time with during the day while we were gone.  A little buddy.  It took some convincing and also took some time to find the right dog.  I knew I wanted a doxie, miniature if I could get one.  I was lucky enough to get a long-hair dapple, which you don't see often.

It didn't take long for them to bond and although every now and then Prissy snaps at Chilly (I've never seen it the other way around) they are pretty inseparable.  They are both "pound puppies" which is all I've ever had, but I could not have dreamed up a better pair.  It's been a good match!
