How does this photo represent the theme – Life is Better Together?
Toby and Katie do everything together. They play together, walk together and relax together. This was them soaking up some much needed shade after playing ball in the hot TX sun. They are best buds. Toby is older and very patient with his younger sister. She has energy for 10 dogs and always wants to play. She has a habit of grabbing toys and dangling them on Toby's head to get him to tug of war with her. They bring much laughter and entertainment to the household, not to mention love. When Toby is drinking water, Katie pushes her way into the bowl and Toby lets her get her drink, waiting patiently for her to finish, before he finishes getting the water he wants. Katie has learned how to play fetch with a ball and a frisbee by watching Toby. He taught her everything she knows. Whatever he gets to do she wants to do. They are very protective of each other, evidenced by visits to the vet. When he is on the table she puts her feet up on the table and watches what is going on. When she is on the table, he does the same. They are there for morale support for each other. He is happy to have his playmate to wrestle with, relax with, eat with, sleep with, and love, and she feels the same.
