About a week after my long haired chi, Lucy, passed, I received a call from a woman that worked in my building, frantic that her son's mother-in-law had 2 sibling chis she was taking to the pound that day. Apparently her landlord wouldn't let her have them (I now think she just had no idea how to own dogs) as they were 8 months old, not housebroken, didn't know how to walk on a leash or go up steps, had no shots, were not neutered, and didn't know their names (Duke & Princess). I went and picked them up the same day. Best decision ever made. I renamed them Fred & Ethel and they are the joys of my life. Smart, funny and sometimes little brats, they have given me so much joy and comfort through some really hard times. They are bonded, and I can't imagine how they would have been in the pound or if they were separated.
