Maple and Her Sister Musings

Maple had a great time visiting with her sister. They were together for just over 24 hours. It was amazing to see how different the two girls were.

When we arrived at Bella's house, Maple was outgoing and curious whereas Bella was very nervous and frightened. Bella kept escaping to the bedroom to hide under the bed. Even after Bella was carried outside to play with Maple, she kept on hiding under her human mum's chair and growling at the kids and Maple if she got too close.

After about 5 minutes Bella's curiosity got the better of her and she decided to venture forth to see what Maple was all about. And then they started playing. Bella seemed to thoroughly enjoy playing with Maple, but she kept an eye out for what the kids were doing and would once again become skittish and hide under the chair if one of the kids tried to play with the pups or come near them.

Bella and Maple not only have different personalities, but they look quite different too. Bella is much stockier than Maple. Maple is definitely leggier, but Bella's feet were larger. Bella was ever so slightly darker in colour and her fur was a bit longer than Maple's. It is probably difficult to see these differences in the video in the post below, but in person they were quite obvious.

It was not surprising that Maple slept the whole 3 hour car ride home from Bella's house.
