Sophie and Spike

Just in case anyone was wondering about my own canine companions (as opposed to the 30 pictures of Daisy I've posted in the past two months), these are my dogs. 

I thought I'd show you how flippin cute they are:

Spike!

He's the sweetest, most gentle dog I've ever met.

Sophie?

She's the trouble-maker, but smart as a whip.

Rascals in the backyard.

They communicate telepathically - he'll go stand silently by the door to be let out, and she'll bark to get our attention.

It's true!

They really work up an appetite being so adorable.
