Walked By Dogs

These two are my "matching set". They remind me of book ends. One completes the other. These two brothers love each other beyond anything, and at the end of the day are each other's best friends, through thick and thin.

I can say they make me work, I think half the neighborhood laughed as they saw me run up the road on our "walks" and yes; both of them have gotten me lost in the woods. I figured I would bring the "big guns in" aka my father, and even the semi pro-football player was taken for a walk. They both made us laugh as we dragged and tripped over logs and rocks.

Duke was a complete gentleman when I took a tumble; he turned around on his leash and checked me out. Once he knew nothing was broken, we were off again.

Duke is an inspiration. He currently had cancer that effected his eye, with that being said it was removed. I wish I had his strength. Some individuals may think "it's just a dog" or "its just an animal" but they could not be more wrong. The reason I say he is an inspiration is because of the good both he and his brother provide for their human brother, and he teaches that even in a difficult situation, you can overcome. He went back to his life and routine as if nothing happened, and with that being said; more of us need to be like that. He had a loss, but even with the loss he still lives, he adapted and survived.

Tucker is as well an inspiration. He knew his friend was sick, needed to heal, and would be slightly different; but that did not stop his love. He still saw his best friend, and companion and carried on. The two play, and climb over each other, and watch over each other. These two teach you that when you have a good friend, no matter what type of situation may come at you, they will always be by your side.

My view on these two... People should really aspire to be like them. Non judgmental, happy, care-free, loving, accepting, and able to adapt. Sometimes we need to act more like dogs ( Love right away, care ect). We need to overcome and just live.

My little "teases". I had first met Lola a few weeks ago, and her sweet demeanor and character; It made it literally impossible not to fall in love. She seems like she would be quiet, and spend time sleeping, but that is a lie. She is a pug, and pugs (like bulldogs) get these little rockets and take off. I laugh because they're like little bullets.

Our walks are not long, and most of the time she tries to bring her "chewie vuitton" purse on our walks, but she is reminded that babies and accessories must stay home. She is a lady, and when she has to do her "business" she does it in a discrete manner, and once done praise must be given. She is impish, with a pure heart.. You can be gone for 5 minutes, and once you return, her reaction is as if she has not seen you in years. Lola is the older pug, who just became a sister to Millie.

Millie is a pip. She makes sure to put everything in her mouth, and then makes you run after her to get it. Most of Lola's toys end up in her possession. She is a play fighter, who has an unbelievable energy level. She will tackle, play tug of war, use your pants and try to dead weight herself so you can't move when she wants your attention (like an anchor). Her kisses pack a punch with her puppy chewing, but as mischievous as she can be, she is full of love, and adores her big sister. (Even when she has her on her back chewing and kissing).

I can honestly say, like a big sister, I think Lola let's her win.

These two are fabulous little babies. Great walkers, but when push comes to shove, the minute one got ahead, the other made sure to get a nose length further. This would go on all the way around the park and back to the house. Free spirited, happy and loving babies. They could make you laugh by their exciting and happy personality, or their full butt wag (tail and hips involved)
