This is my christmas.
One of them is "normal". Cuddly. Dog-Like. Barks only when appropriate (Jack. The white one).
Buddy (the brown, curly, bored looking poodle) is a bully. Territorial. Barks when anyone gets too close to whichever lap he's occupying. Or if you don't pay attention to him.
Then there's Willy. The weird, twitchy, neurotic, grossly overweight slug-with-fur and a hypochondriac's cough (you know. dry. un productive. chronic) that barks if you move too quickly. Or if you're too still for too long. Or if you breathe too loud. Aren't paying attention. If she's hungry. If you accidentally make eye contact. If she wants to see your eyes and can't. Or, god forbid YOU should cough...
She's the one with the ball in her mouth. She loves golf balls. She nests them. obsessively.
They set eachother off, with the barking. I... need ear plugs.
