They are like two peas in a pod. Siblings, not by blood or breed, but by fortune. We, the humans living with them under the same roof are actually the fortunate ones. Our adopted fury babies ended up in the right house and we are grateful.
I am proud of myself because I have managed to figure out how to upload a video from my phone to YouTube, which happened as a form of self-defense. It was the last attempt to somehow get this video off my phone.

We don’t know his birthday. We took him in on August 5th, 2022 when he was approximately three months old, and decided a few months later that May 5th will be known to the world as Vader’s birthday, which makes today his first birthday.
A whimpering beside my bed woke me up. 2:30 am, way too early to get up, but it seemed the dogs wanted to go outside.

I will lend to you for awhile a puppy,
