The Chase

Do you ever think that your pet takes on your personality?  I do!  Kelly and I love to talk about all the ways our dogs are just like us and the boys' dogs are just like them.  Since all four of us kids have our own dogs, it's pretty easy to see the truth in that statement. 

For example:

Cooper is my brother Kyle's dog.  Just like Kyle, he's pretty laid back and easy going.  He gets along with everyone.  Tends to keep to himself at times.  Is loving and funny and kind.

Chris's dog Hugo is a lot like Chris in many ways.  He's energetic and likes attention.  He's determined and smart.  He's the peace-maker and wants everyone to be happy.

Pippen, of course, is just like Timmy.  He's the baby of the family so he's completely spoiled.  He's goofy and smart and affectionate.  He gets away with everything.  He picks on everyone else and they just put up with it.  He's also so confident he's downright fearless. 

And then there's Mally.  Just like her mama, Mally is a princess.  I'm the oldest child and she's the oldest dog and she rules the roost.  Just like me, being the only girl, she has to be assertive to make those rowdy boys listen.  She's bossy and determined and wants all the attention.  And of course, she has to look pretty doing it!

So what happens when you get the dogs together? 

Do they act just like we would act with each other?

Does the baby of the family still annoy and bother the princess?

What do you think?

I'm annoyed with Timmy just watching this. 

Pesky little brothers.
