We adopted Clary in 2015. A year later we drove to Kentucky (from Pennsylvania) with Clary to adopt Quinn. They hit it off in the first minute. We spent an hour or so with the foster’s of Quinn, during that time the dogs played and got to know each other. We then put the two dogs in the back of our little Mitsubishi Outlander and drove back to Pennsylvania. This goes against everything we recommend to potential adopters. Slow gradual introductions are key to the success of two dogs getting along. We however, were lucky. With only a few minor skirmishes they have always been close. The sleep in the same room. They eat together, share toys and play together and are seldom apart. What they are not, is cuddly. Not with each other and not with us although both are not shy of coming over and ask to be petted or food or anything else they want. They enjoy contact. But they won’t come over and curl up with us they don’t sit in our laps etc. All of which is fine by us as they are both 100+ pounds. Note, Clary is the white one (female). Quinn obviously is the other (male).
Asking and receiving some attention
Quinn and Clary at play
But it took a cat to pee on the other bed to force the two into a cuddle session.
Quinn was already lying in that bed when Clary discovered what the cat had done. Quinn, like all males in all species resigns himself to his fate.
