Not so much, mainly because...hmmmm, how to put this nicely, well, because Earle is not so bright! Muskwa is too smart for his own good. He problem solves. Course what he thinks are problems (the fence, how to open the gates, how to get to the food ect) are not always things I want him to solve. Muskwa is very dominant, a true alpha male. Earle doesn't have a dominant bone in his body. My five pound, handicapped cat can dominate Earle if she wants to! Earle does not problem solve. He's not bright enough to realize that anything is a problem! Earle has never missed a meal. Muskwa eats every third day. Muskwa whines alot, Earle wooos, but almost never whines.

Muskwa and Hoodoo were more alike. Hoodoo inherited his Dad's brains and if he had lived longer, he would have taken over as alpha male. Muskwa is aging and there is some competition right now about who gets to be the boss dog. Hoodoo was always second in command when he was alive. They even looked more alike as Hoodoo had the same delicate facial structure.
