Plants, Pitties, and Power Foods

Since birth Blu and Dot have been together. Sometimes I wonder what they would do without each other. Although there are moments where I feel like they hate each other, I also realize that they spend 100% of their days together and even I couldn’t do that with my siblings without losing my shit on them every now and again. They love to chase each other in the back yard and when one doesn’t feel well, the other is always very cautious around them and gentle. Now when they are feeling great, they love to play fight…..like, ALL the time! Of course, sometimes one takes it a little too far and then its not a pleasant time. I have had to learn with dogs, when their growl gets a little too deep or they start snapping at each other in a different manner, to correct it immediately. As my dog trainers have told me, their not nice bite to each other would be the same as a person punching another one. Dogs don’t have fists and can’t punch each other….their only option is their mouth. I have learned with my not so little, little girls that they can get very jealous of each other if mom is giving too much attention or pets to one and not the other. And sometimes one may just be in a bad mood and that’s ok. But during those times of tension, I have also learned that these girls HATE water…..so the water bottle comes out and mom raises her voice to get them to separate sides of the room. Typically this is my time where they go in their individual crates and cool down. We all need our space and thats the same with them. But they truly love each other and I see that every day.
