Weirdo number 1: Cooper
-Extra long giraffe legs. He's also a bit of a Houdini in that he can get out of anywhere.
-Fur that grows out in one color and turns to a different color, tan and black. It sheds and shows up on any color clothing because it's two different colors. Jerk.
-Exceptionally emotional for a dog. I'm pretty sure if he were a human he'd wear skinny jeans and have long black hair hanging over one eye wearing a t-shirt that says "It's a dark, dark world".
-Will sleep with all four legs in the air. Almost like he's waiting for a belly rub, but he's totally asleep.
-Tucks his tail to run faster. It kind of works, but usually when he's in super crazy combat mode.
-Tries to catch toys with his front two paws. He must think they're hands or something.
-Thinks cat poop smells really good. He is usually very proud of his scent after rolling and wants to be close. It's disgusting.
-Will chase his tail and actually catch it. And then he holds on to it and spins in circles.
-Part fish. Will swim until he drowns.
-Has internal GPS on all tennis balls in the area. A ball can be hidden under the couch for a month and he doesn't care, but once he wants it, he'll practically rip the couch apart to get it. He can sense it in a bag hidden in a closet.
-Overall: Giant Weirdo.
Weirdo number 2: Matilda
-Brick on legs. She is a solid dog, with the daintiest paws. No tail, so she has to wag her whole body.
-Snores louder than any human. Occasionally will wake herself up by snoring and then bark at the noise that woke her up. She barks at herself.
-Also farts louder than any human. Can literally clear a room. Literally. I'm standing in the hall typing this waiting for my room to air out right now.
-Cannot swim. We've tried to take her swimming and she has to wear a dog life vest.
-Will chew on a toy until her eyes start to roll back in her head. It's kind of creepy, but you can also tell that she is totally enjoying what she's doing.
-Barks constantly. At everything. For no reason other than she just wants to bark.
-HATES the flyswatter. No idea why, but if she sees it, she'll try to kill it.
-Is afraid of the vacuum cleaner, and yet will run back and forth in front of it growling while I'm using it.
-Frequently throws what we refer to as "pig fits", meaning she rolls around on her back and snorts while thrashing from side to side. She's probably scratching her back by rubbing it on the floor, but it's entertaining. And weird.
-Sassy from day one. Quite the attitude problem. Stubborn. Kind of a B, if we're being honest (which we are--honesty is the best policy always).
-Overall: also a Giant Weirdo.
Well, they're both weirdos. But I suppose that's fitting since I'm sort of a weirdo too. And I love them anyway, does that count?
