Meet Pug brothers Bodie and Bob, or "the B's." They're an endearing 14 years old and they belong to my friend Kishani Perera (a celebrated interior designer, if I may brag for her), and obviously a very devoted Mom – See the "B" tattoos on each of her wrists.
Though Kishani has had the B's since they were pups, she lost custody of Bob for three years. When she and Bob were finally reunited, the vet cautioned Kishani that Bob may only have a few more years left (that was when he was he was only three years old) - Thankfully the vet was wrong and despite arthritis, an episode of stomach torsion, and a knee replacement, he's still quite the precocious little bugger. Bob also manages to be the Alpha to Bodie even though Bodie is nearly double his size. That's okay though, because Bodie can be a little maniac in his own right, and needs someone to keep him in check!
