The Two Loves of My Life

What would I do without my "boys"! My "boys" are my two pet doggies, Walaby and Aesop. Walaby is a black and white Shih Tsu and Aesop is a fluffy, white Maltepoo (three fourths Maltese and one fourth poodle). Walaby came into my life four and a half years ago. My mother had bought him after my dad died. She couldn't handle his "puppy messes" and was going to give him to her house cleaner. By that time, I had a great affection for cute, little Walaby so I said I would take him. The transition wasn't so bad as we (Mr. Walaby and I) had already formed a very strong bond. Three years later, I just happened to walk into the Green Bush animal store and just happened to encounter a litter of puppies. The runt of the litter was my Aesop and without hesitation, I fell in love and put down a deposit. He was too young to take home so for weeks, I stopped by and held him everyday. He was so small, just fitting into the palm of my hand. Walaby was a little threatened by the tiny, tiny "thing" I brought home but they quickly bonded and now follow each other where ever they go. Sometimes they chase each other one hundred miles an hour, zipping through furniture, sliding on the hardwood floors. It's very entertaining. I don't know what I'd do without my canine love!
