pete is my very dear friends katie and sam's daschund. he is energetic, social, and obedient. today, katie is on a bus on her way to crew nationals (go bruno!), sam is moving all her stuff from providence to boston (what a guy), and her parents, the usual suspects when pete needs a dogsitter, are ALSO moving houses. all this means that aunt michaela got the little guy for last night and today.
meet buddy.
buddy is my younger sister's dog. he's the runt of his litter of mini daschunds, and the baby of our family. he is lazy, reclusive, and bizarre. and we may or may not have coddled and babied him for so long that he doesn't even know he's a dog anymore. more importantly, he's never been socialized, and becomes totally submissive and pathetic (on his own turf!) when another dog (pete) is present. especially when the other dog is younger, spritelier, and bigger.
after a night of snapping and nipping at one another, and a lot of what seemed like unnecessary barking, they discovered that they can be best friends because they enjoy the same things.
baby carrots.
napping in the sunshine.
digging holes to nowhere in the backyard.
humping their favorite stuffed animals.
I'm sorry, I realize this is a bit of an internet over-share, but I could not stop LAUGHING when I went to my parents' house this afternoon after work to pick pete up and bring him to providence. this is the scene I walked in on. they both started crying when it was time for pete to leave. dog best friends forever!!!
