Cookie and Bruce have very distinctive personalities. Cookie is the boss - she gets what she wants (most of the time - she is below us in the pecking order), whereas Bruce is quite content to laze around and only show limited degrees of animation when food is involved.
I have taken a variety of photos of them - outside, inside, down at our local dog park, and inside using our studio lights (which I really must use more often).
Enjoy the photos!
