The most handsomemest 'ol boys in the whole wide world.

If this face doesn't melt your heart, you are dead inside.
Everytime I look at this face, I melt.
Pensive Pleat, wondering what to Pee on next.

Portrait of a nobleman. Sir Alta-Pete Pleat.
He has made a remarkable recovery from his Stroke/Vestibular, the only side effects
have been his slight head tilt, which I swear is better every day, and he's a little more blind
in his right eye (which you can see in the photo), but none of that slows him down.
Portrait of a gentleman. He will be 11 next month. And everyday I love him more.
If only he was this easy to live with when he was 3 or 4.
Don't get me wrong we still ring his neck atleast once a week - but it's not daily anymore :)
You know what they say about friends who hang out too much together ...
It's funny, Jenny and I have talked and chuckled about this UNLIKELY friendship. K would NOT have like
Pleat even 3 or 4 years ago, and I think the same for Pleat. Kaleb would have been
WAY too obnoxious for him, and well Pleat has balls the size of tangerines -
something Kaleb is always jealous of. But, Pleat is a man comfortable in his skin,
and Kaleb respects that. Kaleb is comfortable being obnoxious and goofy, and Pleat also accepts that.
They TRULY like eachouthers company, it's the cutest damn thing you will ever see.
2 OLD TOUGH, PERSISTANT, STRONG WILLED, HARD HEADED working dogs ...
who never had time for other dogs, are now buddies, I think they can relate to eachother.
