Twins!

Good morning readers! We’ve slipped a little bit on writing a blog for the last couple of days. I blame Thanksgiving or…the weather. Anyway, this blog is all about BoDee’s twin brother, Dexter. I know what you’re thinking “Dogs can be twins?” no…they can’t, just BoDee and Dexter. Dexter is actually about 2 years older than BoDee, but the similarity between their faces and how they act is very strong. You get them together and they’ll chase each other around or play tug of war, whatever gets the job done for them.

Dexter is a little buddy that I got in a previous relationship. When that relationship ended, I didn’t have the means to take Dexter with me and his Momma really wanted to have him, so he lives with her and her boyfriend now, and he’s loving life. There was a little bit of tension when we first broke up, so I didn’t see Dexter as much as I wanted to, but sometimes a little separation in people is necessary to move on. Now that all the…unpleasantness has passed, Dexter’s momma and I are good friends and talk often. Since we both have Boston Terriers, whenever Jonda and I leave town, BoDee goes to stay with Dexter, and whenever Jillian and Trevor (Dexter’s family!) leave town, he comes to stay with us. Dexter was staying with us over the holidays a couple years ago, and we threw a party for friends to come over and enjoy each other’s company. During that party, Dexter ran around and frolicked. Everyone always loves him and enjoys his company because he’s so agreeable. At one point in the night, I realized I hadn’t seen Dexter in a little while. So Jonda and I start the search for him, we look in all the bedrooms and in the basement. We met back in the kitchen to discuss further search endeavors, but that was in vain. Dexter was in the kitchen munching on a WHOLE stick of butter. We kept the butter in a little compartment on the door of the fridge, when someone opened the fridge door quickly the centrifugal force (I’ve been waiting to bust that out in casual conversation for a loooong time :D) must have tossed the stick of butter out of the compartment and on to the floor. Needless to say, he put that stick of butter DOWN, there was little to nothing left. Recently, Dexter acquired the name “Meatball”, he got the name by climbing on Jillian’s table and eating roughly a dozen meatballs they were planning to have for dinner. What a chunker…

We’ve had a few very memorable times with Dexter. When JayDee passed away a few years ago, Dexter came and stayed with us for about a week. It was very comforting to have him around during that difficult time. When Jillian and Trevor were going to Europe for 2 weeks Dexter came to stay with us, this was a special time because at that point Dexter had grown chubby and we decided the two weeks he was with us were going to be “Fat Camp”. We took him on walks each day and played with him a ton. I’m not sure if it helped his weight at all, but he sure had a great time. Ok I think I’ve said enough, enjoy a few side by side comparisons of Dexter and BoDee and try to tell me you don’t see a resemblance! They are both pictured below! Who's who?!
