To look at this photo you would think these two are the best of mates. A picture of contentment and love. That's what I find so intriguing about photographs - capturing a moment in time that is then frozen forever. And someone will come along in years to come and 'believe' what they see. I am fascinated by old pictures - can look at one for ages, the expressions on people's faces, trying to second guess what's going on... such an impossible pursuit.
As for these two, are they mates? Well... of sorts. A few minutes before this photo was taken there was a high-speed chase, 3 times around the living room. It came to a swift ending when one crashed into a door and the other did a dramatic backflip onto the window sill. They then retired to the couch for a nap; the black one is actually cleaning the white one. An act of love? Perhaps, though it will likely end with a bite from one and a swipe from the other. But I suppose that's what true friendship is all about.
