Beasley & Cosi - The Best of Mates

(Click to enlarge any photo)

Here they are hanging out together in our kitchen. At their feet is one of the favourite toys - Froggy. He is a squishy green stuffed toy that squeeks when it is chewed. Often we will hear froggy being squeeked and the sound will be on the move, from room to room. Actually, Beasley has a brown bear, which also used to squeek. The woman at the local pet shop told us that dogs love them because their scent is soaked up by the toy and so the doggy thinks that the toy is real - another playmate. And she was right.

This next shot was taken before my Sister's wedding. Beasley and Cosi were most excited when they got wind of the wedding. It's difficult to see, particularly at this size, but they were all dressed up in their finery, in expectation of the approaching festivities. Hence the look of great dissapointment on their faces in this photo, only moments after I had to explain to them that they weren't invited. The invitation, which you can see in their mouths, dropped quickly to the floor as the reality dawned on them. Suffice to say they didn't send a gift in their absence.

Finally, this shot was taken on Christmas day 1998. They insisted on a little tinsel so that they could feel more a part of the joyous celebrations of Jesus' birth. But please note the dirt on the forelegs, which I'm sad to report came from Nana's garden, where they had been happily playing all morning...DOH!!!
