Muppet friend

We dog-sat for one of C's friends. This is Frank, who is a pug. Frank has quite the personality- completely different from Harry. He was like, a little rough and tumble man- a bit brusque, but super cute nonetheless.

It was as if Harry had no idea what to make of him. "Is he allowed to be doing that?," it seemed like he was always asking. Frank was curious about the cats- a little TOO curious and they were a bit frightened of him. I think he probably fit their definition of "D.O.G" to a T, and they didn't want much to do with him.

We dubbed him a "muppet" because of his little round face and semi-circle mouth.

Le Alter Ego {vintage}

We have so many pictures of the animals.  Like, years and years of pictures.  I think at some point, we stopped taking pictures of people and only took pictures of animals.  I will post some old photos on the post and will label them "vintage" since they are not current, but from several years ago.  

Onto today's topic: alter egos!  Does your animal have an alter ego?  Ours definitely do.  I'd say Harry has more of them than anyone else around here.

When we first got Harry, we first noticed that he was a true Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.  He would be bouncing off the walls-chewing things-eating your food crazy (Hyde) and then a sweet, sweet quiet, sleepy, cuddle-er (Jekyll).  I suppose if you know Harry, you'd think that this is how he acts now!  But trust me when I say: he's gotten more mellow.  Jekyll and Hyde have decided to meet (closer) to the middle...or shall I say "Binky" and "Chester," respectively, have decided to come to terms with each other.

Over the years, Binky and Chester have been joined by many other alter egos.  Let me introduce a third-- Francois.  Francois is refined, French, and oh so debonair.  He wears a dishtowel- er, I mean, a silk scarf around his neck and discusses all the current topics of politics, world news, and of course, culinary pursuits.
