Comparisons

You cannot ever really compare your children, as you expect them to be different in many ways: looks, temperament, personality, habits and more. This too can be said of our fur-children. There are no way they will be the same, and it is apparent after a week of Lily's stay that she and our Truffles have vast differences!
Firstly and most obvious is in their appearance. Like one does with pictures of your children and even yourself, baby pictures are compared to see resemblances in looks. And this is why these pictures are up.  It is amazing how different and alike they are :)

There are quite a few other differences. Truffles had never been a whiner and certainly not a barker. On the other hand, his sister does both of those things and she has a voice on her. The other day we were so surprised when the kids came running into the room and Lily went of barking(she probably had a fright) the next moment Truffles starts barking with this booming voice I've never heard before! Just as well he doesn't use it often.
Truffles is a very gentle soul, very patient and, it seems, forgiving.  He reacts on a reprimand instantly and stops what he is doing, while his sister have no fear of sound even that of a stern voice or a loud A-a-a-a! to make her stop.
Truffles is very loving and loves other dogs and people. I don't know yet about Lily, but she seems to take to new faces easily too. Truffles is my husbands shadow, and he loves to cuddle and heaps of attention. I don't think Lily would be much different on that front, as when we are all in one room and one of us leaves the room, she'll go off yelping for attention.
No matter what the differences is, we love them both dearly!

Until next time, remember: Love your doggies!
