fraternal twins

B napping with Stuart

These two litter mates are siblings.  I'm sure of it because of their eyes and the colors of their brown fur.

But that is where the similarities end.  They are so completely different.

I think these photos do a pretty good job of highlighting their differences.

Margalo, who might be renamed Louise
because it suits her better.   Here she is
doing pull-ups.   She can also escape, quickly and easily, from the puppy
play pen.

in a rare moment of peace

BB sleeps happily, using her food dish as a pillow

I must take this rare quiet moment, between grad school assignments, while the puppies are playing quietly and don't seem to be chewing on anything they're not supposed to be chewing on, or jumping off anything they're not supposed to be jumping off, to share an update. 

Both puppies have amazingly passed the 3 lbs. mark.  In fact, Mo, the tiny runt who I was afraid wouldn't even make it through one night less than 2 weeks ago when we brought her home, is just 2 oz. away from 4 lbs.  We're guessing the tapeworm she was hosting had something to do with her tininess, but now that it has been taken care of (sorry, I don't have any pictures of that to share; it was pretty shocking) she's doing so, so much better.

I have some video that I haven't had a chance to upload yet, but expect that to be coming soon.
