Juniper Friday! Gargoyles

Juniper and Barley, two dogs, sit on a turn in the stairs and observe from on high.

As much fun as I like to have contrasting Barley and Juniper’s distinctive personalities, there’s no denying that in their years together, they nevertheless shared many traits and habits. In addition to being almost exactly the same size (to within 2 pounds or so), they were very in tune with us and with one another, following the perceived ebb and flow of the pack. As such, despite seeing the world very differently, each was also willing to go along with the other’s preoccupations to some degree - team players despite sometimes playing completely different sports.
