If you know ANYTHING about hubby and me you will know we love our girls - Jessie and Jojo. Our girls are two wonderfully cuddly Lhasa Apsos who have brought us SOOOOO much pleasure, companionship and fun over the past 15 years. We pre-ordered them (before birth) and brought them home at 8 weeks - looking for all the world like 2 real-live cuddly teddy bears and they just won the hearts of everyone they met.
Not only have they been our 'best friends' but they have had much fun with each other - neither ever being quite sure who was in charge - I can assure you it was NEVER me! I've been bottom of the pecking order since they arrived.
Over the years they became affectionately known as 'The Girls' and both readily answered to the call of 'Girls' rather than by name.
Jessie has been the little mother - always looking out for Jojo and being most offended if Jojo ever gets shouted at - which has been pretty often over the years. Jessie must have company and will follow everywhere and loves nothing better that to sleep on the settee, cosied in my arms like a baby :) - so cosy for both of us!
Jojo has been extremely independent - she has always much preferred to wander off to bed on her own, never looking to be nursed, cuddled or petted. Maybe no bad thing - 2 Jessies would have taken a lot of attending to! Jojo very happily beds herself down and allows Jessie to wash her eyes and ears - quite the little lady.
It was such a surprise for us to discover that even dogs have their own identifiable personality - now that's the God of creation!
I have no doubt that our girls will feature heavily in my posts. They are now 15 years old and really showing their years just over the past 12 months.....Jojo is totally deaf but responds remarkably to hand signals, Jessie is almost totally blind but surprises us with her near misses as she runs top speed to ANYWHERE she's headed.
We've had so many fun photos of them over the years and I hope to post them over time.
Love me, love my girls.....
