Juliet the Magnificent and Quincey Magoo had the same daddy, different mommas,
born a week apart. I was looking for a male to be company for my then 13
year old female, Chanel, who had just lost her soul mate, Rufus T. Boofus.
It was pointed out to me that Q. M. was only 4 months old and that I would
probably be getting him a companion in the near future (in actuality, Chanel was
around for another three years before succumbing to two bouts with bloat).
So . . . we took both Q. M. and Princess Juliet. The two of them have
been inseparable since that Thanksgiving weekend when they snuggled together and
slept the 2 hours home, legs intertwined.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Chanel never really took to them – whenever they tried to play tug of war
with her ears, she usually put them in her place.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They never really listened to her
though.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Of course, whenever they
came home from the vetman or other prolonged trip, she had to check them out . .
. then it was back to normal, bark, bark, bark, three ring circus back in
town!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

T. Wigglebutt was a foster failure. She came into BROOD as a "medically
challenged" houndie. I spent many, many hours nursing her back to
health. Thousands of dollars later and a couple of months spoon feeding
her and giving sub q fluids, she finally took a turn for the better (we never
did discover what ailed her).<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>She
was my velcro dog and it took several years before she trusted men and young
