My name is Sunny and this is my brother Diego. He is the one with the long hair. We are brothers, though it is hard to tell! He is my best friend. We do everything together a we cuddle, wrestle, and play together. We watch out for each and make sure each is OK. A few months ago, we lived with someone else. They loved us and gave us lots of attention. Sadly, the family fell on hard times and could not care for us anymore. They could not afford vet care nor food. They decided the best and right thing was seek help. So here we are with our foster family. We had a a spa day at the vet. While there, we got our shots, heart worm tested (negative), full blood panel (all good!) and we both got neutered (did not care for that much). A little about us. As I mentioned before, we are inseparable. He goes where I go and I go where he goes. We area just over 2 years old. We really like it here in our foster home - there are other dogs (from extra-large to small - we like them all!), a little girl and even cats to play with. Though Milo (the boy cat) chases us around. We have learned to just flop on our backs, he swats at us a few times and then goes away. Diego really likes the little girl, she is 5 in human years. She likes to carry him and cuddle with him. Me, not so much. She is OK, but I do not want her to pick me up. When I get mad at her, I bark and growl. That makes her go away. I would be happier with no kids or older kids (8+). Treats bring us joy a so much so we bounce up and down! We like to sit in laps or next to you on the couch and cuddle. We are like little shadows, we love to follow our humans around a especially when they drop some crumbs. I love to sleep with you under the covers and Diego likes it above the covers. We travel well in the car too! My foster mom said she would love for this to be our permanent home, but thinks we need to be with someone that is home more. She works a lot and is gone from the house all day. So now, I have to tell you something that is a little embarrassing. No one taught us to go potty outside! When we first got here, we would pee on everything that was vertical. Now that we are neutered we do not do that so much anymore. We poop on potty pads and are learning to go outside and pee on the potty pads, but its hard work! Who wants to go outside when it was cold! Anyway, we have to wear wee wee wrappers at night and when we are in the carpeted areas (so embarrassing). But our foster has been working hard with us on taking us outside to do our business and pointing us to our potty pads. So, if you would like two very lovable little guys (we cannot be separated), you are patient and kind (with the whole potty thing) and will nott leave us for a long periods of time, please call or email one of my foster friends!
