Brothers – Different and the Same

While Frankie and Typhoon might really be step-brothers and not blood brothers, they do have a lot of similarities when it comes to looks. But in behavior, they are very different.

Typhoon and Frankie - Brothers

Typhoon and Frankie

They are always together – playing, wrestling, napping. And they have many similarities in looks since they are both black and white.

Frankie, however, is incredibly cuddly and obedient. He comes when called (yes, his Siberian Husky membership card has often been threatened with that behavior) and is generally quite compliant. And he loves, loves, loves cuddling with Hu-Dad  . . . and anyone else who is willing to give him good attention.

So sweet and angelic

Typhoon. Well, we could go into lots of descriptions of why he is so different, but we will let the three pictures above explain it all. Notice the important difference between Frankie and Typhoon. Yes, Typhoon has once again earned the honor of wearing a leash indoors.

Sigh.

    Poor Ty! He didn’t mean to do it. It wasn’t his fault. And worse he can’t remember what he did…..but it was fun!

    Keeli only comes when called when she feels like it as well. If she ever gets loose though, we know to just open a car door. She just can’t resist the invitation of an open car door.

    Awww such an angelic sweetheart Frankie❤️ And you, precious Typhoon, you’re just living into the name baby doll?

    Mom sez: Oh my, what did Ty do this time, to be awarded “The Leash” again? That boy just never seems to “get it”, does he? As for Frankie and his “coming when called”, he and Ebby must belong to the same organization, because she, too, is incredible at coming when called. On the other hand, Ice likes to pretend he’s deaf, and he will come if, as, and when he feels like it, THEN only if he happens to be coming your way anyway.
