These mutts are 10 years old today.

Got them when they were about 6 months old, accidental litter from a male Weim that Houdini'd a few closed doors to get to a female GSD in heat. Shep (right) hid under the SUV when we got them home, had to get the previous owners to drive over with the mama GSD to get him to come out. Then we had a Mexican standoff in the pouring rain in the backyard when I let him out to pee--wouldn't let me get within 10' of him, wouldn't go back inside, and just sat in the dumping rain, watching me (also standing in the rain). Annabelle wouldn't let me pet her for almost 2 months and would run away whenever I walked into the room.

19She has them at Starbucks tryna get them pup cups, which apparently Starbucks doesn't do anymore, but she's taking a flyer since it's their 10th birthday and they have the appropriate ID to prove it.

All three of us have greyed about the same amount in the past 10 years.
