Meet the dogs

To the left and right, you will see profile cards for my dogs! Ruka is the first dog I've ever had, and Kheldar came about a year later.

Something I find neat about Ruka and Kheldar is that they have almost the exact opposite personalities. Like in every regard. Ruka likes aggressive play, tug-o-war, chasing and general roughhousing. Kheldar exclusively likes fetch. Ruka sniffs something once, and she is done, Kheldar examines new smells with a thoroughness that would put Sherlock to shame. Ruka barks more than Kheldar. Ruka has a deep booming boof and Kheldar has a higher pitched bork. Ruka tends to be calmer when excited, and Kheldar is very jumpy. Pretty much name it, and they are opposites.
