My Two Little Treasures

!!! HEAVY ON PICS !!!


I love my dogs. As a matter of fact, I can say I adore them. It's quite funny but I see them as my little kids.

Their names are Napoleon and Berri. They are two "gigantic" Yorkshires, one of which is chocolate in colour. That's a defect in the gene that gives the pigmentation... just like in humans we have albino people. Yorkshires are supposed to have black and brown fur but my little Napoleon is brown-orange-gray... with brown eyes, paws and nose instead of black.

Although he's the wrong colour, he's such a smart dog. Sometimes I'm even lead to think he might have been human in a previous life. Napoleon was my first dog...ever. My family didn't have dogs nor cats. I had a couple beta fish but they died - as they only live about a year. My parents were strict on cleanisiness and found a pet to be too much trouble. When I finally moved out, I got Napoleon. He was 5 months at the time and since he already had a name that fit his fisty, yet intelligent personality, we decided to carry on with the name given by the breeder.

Here are some pictures of him:

Now, at one some months:

When Napolen was about 7 months old we decided to get him a friend; part so that he doesn't feel lonely when we're gone, part so that he stops bugging us to play with him all the time and part because we wanted another puppy. We then found Berri, who is such a sweetie. He's the more calm, sensitive dog. He gets easily scared and intimidated and unless you get him pumped, he'll never bother you. Napoleon on the other hand, knows how to press our buttons with his evergy and stubborn personality. Berri has an amazing sense of smell and he's crazy over toys. He's probably not as intelligent as Napoleon, as this orange dog is one of a kind, but Berri is the perfect family dog.

At first, when we got him, he looked like a little alien and was SO different from how Napoleon looked as a puppy. Berri has a big head, HUGE eyes, big ears and very thick, dense fur. That green paper on his ear was to keep his ear upwards. He had it for about a month or so.

I love them both and I couldn't pick a favourite. Napoleon and I have a special connecition as he was my first dog but Berri has such a kind heart and I am thankful to have them both.
