You don't need a big research grant

With the Backyard Dog Cloning Kit from Ronco. The other day I was surprised to look out and see the Doublemint twins. Our neighbors have family visiting this week, and Roxanne is Angel's littermate. Hunter was bemused at first - he's pretty observant and seemed sure that something had changed - but then the flirting started and then the play full-out. He's really been enjoying the new arrival.

There was also an unauthorized sortie into our own backyard last night when Princess (little black Lab puppy) wriggled her way under the neighbor's deck to emerge from under mine. She and Hunter went bananas over each other - he just LOVES puppies - and the blondes felt very left out and said so! I gathered the little one up and carried her home and we will all attempt to block the escape routes a bit better. The previous neighbor's teacup poodles had no problem coming through there but I thought this pup would be way too big. Actually I'm sure she is, so she must have dug herself a bigger tunnel.

Labra-twins! They're so cool looking standing side by side that way.

Is Hunter looking fuzzier than he used to?

Yes, he is - he's a good nine months since his last trimming - I've cut his coat back in the summers so he's at his shaggiest now. He has a wonderful mantle when it's all grown out - it's all coarse and very light gray on his shoulders and flanks. Michele calls him a silverback. I was just telling him this morning that it's nearly warm enough out for us to give him his first haircut, so now I'll have to tell him others are starting to notice. Still just a little too chilly for now.
