This adorable couple belongs to my brother and I find great pleasure and fun in taking them for a walk on weekends every now and then. Yesterday was a sunny and warm day (18 C degrees in February is unheard of in Bucharest, so Guille’s denunciation of the climate change must be more than a pretext to discuss dress
). Mimi (on the left) is of German origins and lived the first 4 years of its (...her?) life on the open fields of a farm: truly heaven for a Terrier. She is very loving intelligent. Her vast outdoors experience and close contact with large animals (my brother used to have a riding school) made her very wise at evaluating danger and defending her territory: it’s incredible how a simple growl and a glare can discourage large dogs to try her patience.
Jack (on the right) is playful, inquisitive and recklessly brave (especially with larger dogs!). When he wants to go outside, he doesn’t bark or scratch the door like other dogs: he gently bites your small finger, then pricks up his ears and looks in your eyes, as if saying: “Did you get it?”.
Mmm... that looks like an excellent 5 o'clock snack!
What you see in the background is not the Lomonosov University in Moscow, but its Bucharest copy built in the 50's.
To me, there can be no other awardee to the prize for the best small dog! They are both great company and, other than leaving tons of hair that require a pair of tweezers and the better part of an afternoon to remove from a jacket, they are a real joy to have around.
