Max and Cole are brothers – maybe not biologically, but perhaps in every other sense of the word. Cole is the older one that moves a little slower and generally tries to do his own thing – and he’s certainly old enough to be the stubborn one. (Although he’s a softie for a belly rub, as you’ll see in a minute!) Max, on the other hand, still has puppy-esque rambunctious energy, and I think his inner monologue goes something like this: “gotta see this! gotta sniff this! who is this! hello new friend! ooh what’s over there? let’s RUN TO IT!”

You know what’s funniest about these two? Watching Max pick a fight with Cole! They don’t really fight, of course, but there’s plenty of growling and teeth and and play-biting. You get the sense Max has woken up a sleeping bear and just doesn’t know when to stop! (It helps that Cole kind of looks like a bear.)

I’ll let you guess who’s who from the photos:

Thanks for a great early-morning session with your furkids, Theresa!
