Newly acquired black beauty… dog or a gem?

airplanenutairplanenut Posts: 22,769 ✭✭✭✭✭

I’ve learned in my years of collecting that sometimes a rare opportunity comes along and you have to take advantage of it. Well, I’d been thinking about getting an addition to my collection of one when my pup’s mom became available… so now I’ve got a matched set. You can decide if Ruby is a dog or a gem.

Today was her first time helping me take pictures.

    Two gems👌

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    A dog named Jim?
    Looks like a wonderful addition!

    I think I’d need to sound more southern for Jim and gem to be pronounced the same

    That’s funny I’m southern and I pronounce them exactly the same even though I don’t really have an accent any more- congrats on growing your family!

    They are gem dogs!

    I was expecting to see a terminal toned Morgan Dollar though 😆

    Maybe that’s why @ricko hasn’t chimed in

    @airplanenut.... Just saw this - was busy working yesterday. Great looking pups, does not matter what color - dogs are family and give us unconditional love and loyalty. Cheers, RickO

    I think it is so great that you reunited them. A big plus one/thumbs up for you!

    Even cat and beaver agree that’s a wonderful set of doggies.
    They have a blind miniature poodle they share our home with.
    Good stuff. 😉🦫🙀

    Puck is on the right (I got him at 8 weeks at the end of 2020) and Ruby is on the left.

    Beautiful dogs.

    Maybe this is a dumb question but I’m not a dog person. Does the mother dog know that the younger dog is her offspring?

    I have to imagine they do, but I'm not sure what it means. We first met up ~14 months after he came home, and they got along with each other very quickly, but it's hard to say if that's because they already knew each other, or because they both get along with other dogs they meet. That said, since they're so good at identifying things by smell, I'm guessing they somehow recognized each other, but whether it's a mother/child relationship or just "you're a dog I've met before" I can't say. Then again, dogs are animals where offspring go off and do their own things, so that's already different from humans where family bonds are much stronger and longer lasting.
