ha! you should ask that... we are not exactly sure what they are... they showed up in our yard--puppy-ish... no one claimed them... they are and have always been so in sync with each other... we call them the twins... but they do have some hound in them--they have the long hound ears... Truman has a beagle's face, Harper looks more lab... they have lab bodies... they are so sweet...
we chose the names because Harper Lee and Truman Capote were friends since they were children, and both grew up to be writers... and we are a family that loves books... and i am a fan of both Breakfast at Tiffany's and To Kill a Mockingbird... (i found In Cold Blood riveting, but cannot say i am a fan of it)...
The whole gay thing is ridiculous but I respect Truman Capote because he came up the hard way and carved out a name for himself. He also carved out a gay reputation for himself back when this was an anti-societal move. Gays are super coddled today compared to what TC lived with. Gay today are spoiled, stupid and petulant. I would not apply this to TC
He was a man who invented himself
