Day 5: Tag-Teaming

These are my dogs Daisy and Zoey. We've had Daisy for about five years, and Zoey came into our family this summer when my parents and I went on a trip to Dallas. Daisy was not pleased at all when we brought home Zoey because she is used to being queen bee around this joint. Ask anyone who has ever spent time in our house and they would agree.

    For the past several months it has been quite evident that Zoey will never stand a chance when it comes to getting on Daisy's good side, or so we thought. Now I'm not so sure. Since I've been home I've noticed that there might be a friendship bonding between this unlikely pair. Don't get me wrong...This is ALL the work of Zoey, and none of Daisy, but I do believe Zoey might be creeping into Daisy's small grinchy heart.
    Daisy, in her small size, is very easily ignored, unlike Zoey. I realize the other day that my dogs were using this to their advantage. The other day Daisy was going around the house trying to tell anyone that would listen that she wanted to go outside. When she didn't get what she wanted, she dejectedly sat in the middle of the kitchen doorway. When she saw this Zoey got up from her bed and they huddled for a few moments then Zoey went up to my dad and licked him until he let her out. I was very impressed by  Zoey's quite intentional (it seemed) strategy. I think she knows what she's doing.
    Maybe I'm crazy for devoting a whole blog post about my dogs, but watching them while I've been home has definitely entertained me over the past few weeks.
