What I didn't write about was perhaps my favorite thing about having a small dog. As Two Pitties in the City commented, the looks we get when people realize that Lola and Franklin are life partners are amazing!
Often on our walks we see matched sets of dogs.
And some of our friends have coordinating pairs, like the fabulous Mr B and Ms M., who are sometimes mistaken for twins.
So people sometimes have a hard time wrapping their heads around our mismatched pair.
This usually happens at the farmer's market when M takes Franklin and goes to one vendor, and Lola and I go to another. When we come back together and put our purchases in the same bag (or in Lola's backpack) and people around us realize that we're one family, they usually start smiling and giggling.
I thought we had a pretty unique pair, until I virtually met Skye and Parker. I bet they make people smile wherever they go too!
People always laugh at Turk & Rufus together too! Especially out in California, it seems like the pittie/chihuahua combo is pretty common nowadays, which I love! :)
ReplyDeleteAt least your dogs are color-coordinated!
ReplyDeleteAww, I love matching pairs of dogs but I also love the mismatched pairs. I think my favorite is just seeing two dogs who are clearly BFFs being very sweet together. That picture of your two on the chairs is great.
ReplyDeleteI love your odd couple! I keep imagining what my 3rd dog will look like to keep up the mis-matchyness...
ReplyDeleteA saint Bernard or a Chinese crested. ;)
DeleteOdd couples are awesome. Tucker and my dearly departed Dakotah (a 70+ pound Malamute mix) were such a couple, and it always made people smile. (And me, too.)
ReplyDeleteI love the mismatched pairs! I think it's actually great for people to see that the "bullies" can get along with the little guys, too! =)
ReplyDeleteWe have an odd couple too! They are both black and white and terrier mixes. One just happens to be a yorkie mix and the other a pit mix.
ReplyDeleteawww! I'm sure they're just as cute as my two :)
