mis animales - puppies!

let's start with the puppies. these are Komondors (livestock guard breed from Hungary and possibly Tibet). they get really long cords for fur when they grow up. kind of like dreads. if you ever saw the Looney Tunes cartoon where the sheep-looking dog & the wolf clocked in & out for "work" (protecting and attacking the sheep, respectively)....well that was a Komondor. there was one in 101 Dalmations too I think. these guys are gonna get BIG.

first up is Archimedes (Argo) on the left/bottom. named after the Greek who discovered the principle of density/buoyancy while taking a bath & ran through the streets naked shouting "eureka". we got him first. then 2 weeks later we picked up one of his sisters, who we named Calliope (Greek muse of epic poetry). see the pic at the top/right. they are both about 9 weeks old. she's bigger than he is, longer snout, longer tail, longer legs, longer body. but he is definitely the cutest, being all rolly polly like.

I realize they look identical in the pics, but you really can tell them apart when you see them.
