        hey guys! quiz time.

        does this dog look familiar to anyone?

        yes? no?

        if you picked no, it's probably because you've never seen Opie.
        if you picked yes, it's probably because you thought this was Opie.

        well, it isn't! this is actually a female named Lucy, who was adopted by someone else with a similar age estimation as Opie. on top of this, she also weighs around the same as him (30-45 pounds). not only that, but she has a docked tail as well and the urge to eat every bird in sight according to her owner! It's like they are twins! if the dog world wasn't so tricky I'd feel 100% in saying I think they may be litter mates. obviously, with them both being adopted, I don't know lineage etc, so I can't truly say.

        the exciting news about this is the fact that I found her posted on a facebook page to be rehomed. well, not exciting that she's being rehomed, but we have been talking about adding another dog to the family so that Opie has company. particularly while both my boyfriend and I are away at work. he has separation anxiety and when left alone with another dog before he acts much calmer. we scheduled a meet at the dog park tomorrow and if all goes well she may be coming home with us!

        for more strikingly similar photos, see below!

Both dogs are really cute, I don't think I've seen them before but that bow tie on Opie looks adorable! It's so cute!

:Flops on chat: Oh the things that happen while Im away. Was napping and woke up to both dogs smooshing me and the kitty smothering me.
Honey, it's in the stars
And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I say I truly mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clear
'Cause there's no one like you on earth
That can be my universe

    'Ello 'ello 'ello!
    I have an 8 month old Boxer mix who I have trained to sit, paw, high five and lay down, what trick do you guys recommend I do next? He has a very short attention span, so something not too difficult would be lovely xD

    Since he knows shake (paw), why not try "other paw"? c:

I'd suggest 'wave', 'stand', and 'stay'.

Stay, leave it, speak, come. Just a few basics.

This is my dog Chewy! He's a seven year old Yorkie and I guess that's it.
