Houseguest

Kozmo had a special treat last night. My best friend and her sweet dog, Paki, came to visit. We've been friends since the beginning of time, so it only makes sense our dogs would want to be best friends. Paki is a sweet, sort of shy gentleman who is approximately 11 years old. Kozmo, is much larger, much younger, and has a LOT more energy. Clearly I have a lot more to learn about dogs...

I guess if I think back on it, Pakidog's human and I weren't best friends instantly. It's been a great friendship that has grown over many years. Kozmo and Pakidog met briefly this summer. They weren't together long enough to be friends. I was determined both dogs would love each other, be calm and would cooperate for a sweet photo session.

What really happened was that Pakidog and his human arrived at our house and instantly both dogs were barking. Clearly they both had a lot to say. Kozmo just wanted to play and poor Paki just wanted to be left alone. I distracted Kozmo with his laser light. We took the dogs for a walk together. Finally after several hours there was a moment where both dogs were still and close to each other.

The thing Paki and Kozmo have in common is a love for the really great hot dog treats I make. Here they are both staring intently at the treat dish. After this photo was taken it was time for bed.

When I got up this morning and took two dogs outside I realized it was really fun to have two dogs in the house.
