zippy and soy bean

these are surely two of the loveliest dogs ever to grace this side of the mississippi. they are brother and sister and thirteen years old, and legend has it that one winter, zippy, the brother, saved soy bean, his sister, after she fell through the ice and into the creek that runs around and through the farm. soy bean’s on the left, zippy is on the right.

zippy is one of the canine loves of my life. standing in one place and looking around are two of the things he does best.

soy bean is arthritic and has a busted elbow (which is said to be related to the creek incident), but that doesn’t stop her from getting from point a to point b in a hurry.
