Some of favorites from Boris are:
1. He's supremely nosy! Seriously, I've met some pugs that I always thought I'd never see a nosier dog, but wow, Boris has them beat! He loves to look out our windows, we're on the third floor, and he enjoys the view. He has a particular window he likes the most, which is in the living room. He'll jump on my couch, put his feet on the back and get up as high as he can to peer out. He pulls my curtains down often, and there's always muzzle prints on the glass. While I wish he wouldn't pull my curtains down, I cannot help but think this is an adorable trait in him. There are two other windows he'll peer out of, and he still hasn't forgiven me for moving my childrens bed away from their window, I can tell by the dirty looks I get!
2. He sleeps with his head on a pillow every chance he gets, and ALSO he prefers to sleep on his back, if he's on the couch or my bed. It never ceases to crack me up to see him all splayed out on his back enjoying a snooze!
3. He likes to follow me into the bathroom, and get in the bathtub and lay...it doesn't matter if I am putting on my make up, doing my hair or anything besides taking a shower..he is in that tub!
4. If he is the second to go outside to go potty or for a walk, he will cry and cry at the door..it's actually quite heartbreaking and I cannot help but baby him when this happens! He really acts as if he's seriously hurt about it, like he cannot understand why he wasn't chosen first!
Those are just a few ... he's such a dear, dear boy!
Now, for my lovely Morty:
1. He's stingy. Seriously, I should have named him "Mine" for more than one reason. They have a huge tub of stuffies and toys that are theirs, and they play them, but even if they are half asleep, if I walk by and just nonchalantly pick one up, he will get up and steal it back from me, shake it..and throw it on the floor, only to go back to resting. I took one to my bed the other day, just to see, and he followed me back there, jumped on the bed and even though I tried to lay on part of the toy, he got it from me..shook it, threw it on the floor and walked out! STINGY!
2. He follows me everywhere... EVERYWHERE. He's like a big mother hen who follows me about to check on what I'm doing, making sure I'm not stealing his toys, I imagine...and he loves to follow me into the kitchen.
3. He sleeps with me almost every night, unless Boris can sneak in there first, BUT on his "terms" he's so bossy.. if I am not far enough over for his tastes, he will lay his big ol melon on the side of the bed and STARE at me until I move over, then, no matter how much room he has, he will insist on sleeping right up against me. Not that I mind, in honesty, it doesn't bother me in the slightest, I find it endearing... but sad because when hubby comes home he'll have to learn to share the bed!
4. If I go out on my balcony and he didn't follow right away, he'll press his face up against the window on the door and slap at the door until I open it..if I'm not responding fast enough, I might get a bark. He is a good boy though and will open the door for his brother if his brother wants out!
They are so silly, so utterly funny and amazing, they fill my life with so much laughter and love! I'm so grateful to have them, they bring so much into my life!
One more quirk that I haven't mentioned... they really don't care for the vacuum, at all! I have one rug in my home, ONE, and they think, naturally, that it's theirs.. I am not allowed to move it without them stepping right in the middle of it, much less them wanting me to vacuum it. Morty REALLY dislikes that vacuum!
I'll admit, I had a treat, and was making them pose.. I get slobber for my efforts!

The one rug in my home, that I HATE to vacuum, is also the place they take EVERYTHING to eat or play with *sigh*.
