I was heading out the door this morning for Missoula when I saw this pairing in the living room. That’s Daisy on the left and blind-and-deaf Spinner on the right. Daisy has spinal issues that leave her incontinent, while Spinner could easily win the World Bladder Endurance contest. However, that particular difference between them is not what caught my eye this morning. I just thought it was an interesting visual contrast, the two-tier arrangement with the little dog down below, the big dog up above … while one is brightly lit up in the early morning sun and the other is still in the shadows. As is often the case around here, part of the dog bed had slipped off the cot overnight and onto the floor, where someone — in this case Daisy — quickly commandeered it for herself.

You know what? I think the bladder endurance may be a husky thing. Our two huskies could ALWAYS hold it for the longest time. It’s such a great picture with the contrasts, thanks for sharing it!
