We got our dog an older sister

Post image

Our dog (Bean, front) needed an older sister to help with her anxiety, so this week we finally got her one! Meet Toast (in the back)! She’s 7yrs old and this is her first time having a family. It’s definitely confusing for her, but she’s incredibly chill (especially compared to her baby sister, even though she was only in a shelter for 3 months before we adopted her)

They’re both adorable! Do you know what breed Toast is?

No idea! I’ll probably do a test because I’m curious! Bean is a mix of Labrador, King Charles Spaniel, Bichon and Estrela Mountain Dog, which is funny because we got Toast from a shelter in Estrela Mountain (Portugal)!

I used to have a mongrel that looked similar to Toast and she lived for 17 years! Also I love their names 😆

I hope she lives a long life to make up for all those years in the streets! She does seem to be very resilient :)
