My Mac (a golden)was one of the best ever! When he got sick and needed chemo and was dying of a slow progressive cancer I was falling apart. I got a book that said I should have two dogs....so I went and got Clancy thinking this would make Mac feel better. BIG MISTAKE...he was too sick and too elderly to take a small puppy. However, you don't take the puppy back to the adoption agency...so there were some good times but there was that one night that Mac had had enough and let Clancy have it....one little nick to his nose. After Mac died I got Oliver...the two boys love and adore each other. Every time I look at Clancy there is that "little nick" on his nose where the hair never grew back...just as a reminder that Mac still rules. The idea of going through life without a dog is definetly not an option for me.

I made the mistake of trying 2 puppies at the same time after the loss of my Black Lab Brittany. At least it was a mistake for about the first 4 months. Now that they are pushing a year old , it seems like a fine idea.
They are in a constant tussle playing but they love each other as well.
Jackie is smaller and a little timid. When they get a treat she has to run and then lay down right along her sister.
When they aren't pulling each other around by the ears , they are busy grooming each others ears.
Solitare is so big that Jackie's whole head fits in her mouth.
