Polly got here a week after Bates. I wanted a little black Papillon puppy. As luck would have it, we found Fletch and Bates before Polly and just knew they were meant to be part of our family. We had decided not to adopt anyone over age 3 after having special needs pets for so long. That rule went right out the window and we adopted Fletch estimated to be 5-6 yrs old and Bates estimated to be 6-7 years old. Then we found this little black Papillon puppy. It made no sense to adopt two dogs in two weeks, but we could not pass up either one. Turns out they are like two little soulmates that were just destined to be together. I can’t imagine one of them without the other because they are two peas in a pod. They sit like this, sleep like this, share their food and food bowls and toys and blankets with each other, and play so gently with each other. Polly still cleans his eye and cleans his ears. This was when she was still growing and under 5 lbs. She’s a whopping 7.9 lbs now. It’s a little more even when they wrestle now but she is not intimidated. She knows she can trust him completely. They are truly best friends.
