Sisters


This is Angel's Sister Clara, the one that Pam adopted.  These two pups are virtually inseparable, they love playing together and causing mischief.  They are also super cute when they cuddle in these puppy beds together, sorry only pictures of that are on my phone and I don't know how to put those pics on the computer.
I got two of these beds, one for Angel and one for Bo.  Angel however decided that both beds belonged to her and she would chase Bo away from them when he tried to lay down.  I put one of them into Bo's house and kept Angel away for a few nights.  Angel had to deal with the loss of a bed, she was not happy about it.  She loves Bo, she likes playing with him and he watches out for her.  The fact that she won't share with him
but will share some things with Clara is just one way that the puppies have shown that they really do have a strong bond with each other.
One thing I will say for them though, they are both jealous little doggies.  Angel attacks Clara if she thinks Clara is getting more attention, for being named Angel, that dog can be an all out devil.  Clara on the other hand when she gets jealous she won't take it out on Angel, she'll jump and bite the person giving the attention.  We're working on training her not to bite.
I would feel sorry for Clara, Angel can be quite the bully, but Clara has began to hold more and more of her own.  Plus when Angel had an injured paw and couldn't defend herself Clara decided to take revenge every opportunity that she could get.  Of course when the paw healed Angel made Clara regret that.  But one of the things I love about dogs is their ability to forgive, a day later they were playmates again.

These pictures were taken awhile back, the puppies are at least twice that size now.

Being the thin sister Clara has been able to fit into places that weren't wide enough for Angel, and being the long sister she can also get things that are higher up, just because it is safe from Angel, doesn't mean that a puppy still won't get it and then fight over it with Angel.  Many times Angel will not know that something was important to her until she sees Clara with it.  Then, all of a sudden, its Puppy War!
On occasion their brother, a puppy named Granger, after the Harry Potter character (yes a male is named after the main lady of the story) will drop by and demand to be let into the kennel to play with his sisters.  The three siblings have played with Bo in the back yard a few times now, usually for several hours before Granger decides he wants to go back home.
