Staff Photo by Mark Kennedy / Dogs and boys share a lot in common.I’m not going to say boys and dogs are exactly the same … but hey, they sure seem alike.
When dogs are not sleeping, they’re eating – a pattern punctuated by random bursts of play. Boys, too.
At our house this summer, we’ve got two male dogs and two male children under the same roof. I can’t shake the thought that the pairs share traits in common.
We got a new puppy last month – a now 5-month old Cavapoo named Keeper. We already had an 8-year-old Cavapoo named Boise. Their interactions have been – in a word – frantic.
Keeper runs around the house trying to lick Boise in the face and stealing his bones, and Boise barks at him incessantly, as if to say: “Stop it, you little creep!”
