Moose & So.B. Friends

Good morning world wide web!
You want to hear some thing funny?  Moose, the dog, would roll his eyes when he would see So.B., my dog, coming.  My dog would dance around Moose with a ball in his mouth barking with his mouth full.
Each time around Moose he would get a little closer until Moose was confident So.B. was close enough then he would pounce on So.B. pinning him down then taking the ball.  What he did with the ball no one knows but it would never be seen again.  Moose would go back to napping or so he would try.  So.B. wasn't discouraged as he had already found a nice stick to tease Moose with.  Again dancing around him barking with his mouth full then laying down to chew on the stick a while.  Moose casually walks over, bends down, and picks up the stick with So.B. still attached!  So.B. just dangled from this stick swinging in the air when Moose looked around the yard, as if looking for a place to bury the stick and So.B.  Finally Moose lays down again to chew on the stick a while.  Funny stuff!!! So.B.settles down chewing on the other end.
The face off, who do you think will win? It doesn’t look like much of a contest but you haven’t had a Jack Russel. These two have been pals since Moose could swallow So.B. whole.
Unfortunately, Moose is no longer with us. He was one of the best dogs ever and I miss him a lot but not as much as So.B.does.

The unlikely friendship of...

From the beginning we knew this relationship would take time.  Especially when we couldn't find the puppy anywhere until we looked at Moose who obviously had something in his giant mouth.  "Drop it!!"  "I said drop it" so he spits out the puppy all slimy and wet but happy as can be.  Moose looked guilty caught red handed but the puppy didn't care as he tried climbing the giant black Great Dane who finally bent his head down so the puppy could bite his ear.  What contrast, they couldn't be any more opposite then they are.  One huge and black the other white and barely 8 weeks old.  One a Great Dane known for their gentle slow nature, the other a Jack Russel known for their energy and relentlessess.
This is a more recent picture, unfortunately all the puppy ones are lost.  The Dane, Moose finally stops trying to eat the puppy so they became friends.
So.B. thinks he will be as big as Moose some day.
