A while ago, the woman who owns the kennel where we leave Howie when we’re out of town told me there was another dachshund/Lab mix who frequently came to stay there. After asking some questions, we were able to establish that they actually came from the same litter. This past weekend, when we stopped to pick Howie up, the other dog’s owner was there at the same time.

Here they are together. (Howie is on the right.) You can definitely see the resemblance in their faces, but she’s half his size with short dachshund legs.

As much as I like to think they recognized each other in some way, the kennel owner says they don’t seem to react to each other any differently than other dogs. What a fun coincidence that we got to meet her and that Howie got to play with her, even if it was only for a weekend.
