Muddy (11) is loyal, forever on guard, anxious and loves love. He tracks my husband's every move to see what will be happening next, where we might be going, if food might be coming etc... He loves me but doesn't pay attention to my commands. However, he is a very good boy for my husband who is the alpha male.
He likes the shade and spends quite a bit of time each day digging a hole in the yard that will become a bed for him for the day. My husband fills the hole in at the end of the day and Muddy starts a new one the next morning. I'm convinced that Muddy thinks he's working 'with' my husband as he digs and later my husband shovels.

Finnigian (4.5) is a complete spaz. He worships Muddy and is lost without him if he is separated from him for even 2 short seconds. Everything is exciting for him and often requires his special prancy dance where he stands on his hind legs and paws at the air with his two front legs as if he is doggy paddling.
He LOVES the sun and seeks out the warmest patch in the garden to snooze.
He is very stubborn and though he is very sweet natured, he often won't do something if he doesn't want to unless you sound 'stern' and then he'll do what you've asked (sit, stay, lay down) but in a veerrryyyy slow motion style as if to say "alllllrriiigggghhhhtttt, I'll do it!"
I also think that Finnie wants to be a vegetarian. He eats his kibbles and wet dog food but he often hesitates and then he picks at his food in a way that seems like he's eating it only because there's nothing better. BUT....bring out the fresh cucumber slices, pieces of lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, any vegetable and he acts like you have given him the best gift in the world.
He's also a blanket sucker.
