Guys, guys! (and I use that in the non-gender-specific sense)
Let's not get all frumious with each other.

They are! I tell her so several time a day. Nevermind what the dogs themselves say.

You'd be shocked, actually, the one on the right has been blown over a few times in a stiff wind while in an um ... less than fully stable position.

Actually, the one on the right is a complete spaz. He's the he, by the way, the other is a she (most folks expect it to be the other way round). She's the one you have to watch, actually. She has a taste for old, rare books, of which there are more than a few lying around the house (from my wife's dissertation research: 19th century Brit Lit).

He usually knows what he's supposed to do, and will actually do it, until he forgets/gets distracted -- attention span of a lobotomized gnat, that one. She on the other hand will only do what she feels like doing, fortunately, I'm a lot bigger and scarier than they are (the big one is ~11lbs), so she generally decides she feels like doing more or less what I want her to do.
