This photo was taken late Fall 2006. Many thanks to the always awesome Nicole for doctoring for me!
I've decided that as my dogs are both geriatric, my Dogs on Thursday posts should be about preserving memories. One routine moment that happens more than once most days, but never fails to warm my heart, is Fred's about face to follow Mugsy.
Fred goes outside first most mornings. However, rather than heading off the porch to do his duties, he simply waits right there until Mugsy comes out, and they head into the yard together. What tickles me most is when Fred has been out for a while, asks in, and then makes that predictable u-turn at the door because Mugsy is going out. It's simple and routine, but it is the essence of their bond. Like most brothers, they fight - sometimes violently, in their youth - but in the end, they seek each other out for companionship. I've had the pleasure of being around some truly wonderful dogs, but these two are at the top of the list.

What a beautiful post, Chan. I'm often reminded of how lucky we are to witness the day to day interactions of our pets, both with us and with each other. The bond is so deep, and we are so privileged to share it. Hugs to your pups.
:-) loved that story of your guys.
So sweet!
It is so true...you need to treasure your time with your pets. Before you know it they are gone and you will need all those warm memories.
They are so sweet. For a moment there I thought you were talking about my boys. I just find it so neat how we are all created and how pets especially dogs have the exact same charateristics as humans. Love the stories you have about them.
Sweet post.
It's always the doggie posts that get me teary! I enjoyed reading about your furry ones!
