Milo’s Favorites:
Milo, on the other hand, is quite the foodie and relishes any activity related to food. He enjoys following his human companions around, always eager to be part of their day-to-day activities.
Shared Favorites:
Both Milo and Meme share a love for gentle outings and spending time outdoors. They find great pleasure in resting and sleeping beside each other, cherishing the calm companionship they provide one another. Interactive play with squeaky toys is another shared interest, though it’s recommended to have separate toys to avoid any potential disagreements.
Interaction with Humans

Memes are the epitome of gentleness and affection. She responds wonderfully to calm interactions and is content to settle quietly near her human friends, basking in their presence.

Milo is incredibly people-oriented and thrives on attention. While he may be vocal initially, he quickly relaxes once he feels comfortable and secure in his surroundings.

As a bonded pair, both Milo and Meme have a strong affinity for humans and prefer to stay close by, often trailing their person from one room to another, ensuring they are never too far from the action.
Obedience and Training

Memes demonstrate an understanding of simple cues such as sit, wait, and in/out. She responds positively to gentle guidance, making her a joy to train.
Milo’s Training:
Milo can be redirected during walks and responds well to calm structure. However, his food-focused nature means he can become easily excited, particularly around meal times.
Both Together:
Both dogs benefit from consistent routines and calm boundaries as they continue to adjust to their new environment.
Animal Social Skills

Both Milo and Meme may bark when they encounter unfamiliar dogs, even if there is no direct interaction. They are currently best suited to quieter environments where introductions to other animals can be gradual and controlled.
Independence
While both dogs prefer to be close to their human companions, they may follow them from room to room. They might vocalize briefly when left alone but generally settle and rest together after a short period.
Food Preferences and Behavior
Meme’s Food Habits:
Meme eats well when fed separately and finishes her meals calmly, showing no signs of food aggression.
Milo’s Food Habits:
Milo is highly food-motivated and may initially beg for food, but he settles calmly beside you once he realizes it’s not mealtime. He may also look for food if it’s easily accessible.
Both Together:
Separate feeding is recommended to ensure they each have the recommended amount of food given they are different sizes
Hygiene and Grooming
Both dogs tolerate routine handling for paw cleaning, bathing, drying, and tooth brushing. They allow gentle care around their paws and hind area when needed and generally accept basic hygiene care calmly. They will both require regular grooming
Sleep Habits

Milo and Meme sleep well through the night and settle calmly indoors. They often rest and sleep close to humans and beside each other. If allowed, they may choose elevated spots such as sofas for their naps.
Car Travel
Both dogs appear to have limited car experience and may initially be unsure when traveling. They travel more comfortably in a secure rear space, such as the car boot area with the cover removed for comfort, and prefer being close to their person during travel so will require seat belts or you may find them on your lap lol
Exercise and Outdoor Activities
Both dogs walk well on a lead and enjoy walks that allow them time to sniff and explore their surroundings. They respond well to calm guidance and redirection when needed.
Inside the Home
Meme’s Indoor Habits:
Memes usually toilets outside but may occasionally have accidents indoors unpredictably. Her bowel movements are primarily outdoors.
Milo’s Indoor Habits:
Milo is curious and may investigate bins, packaging, or accessible food items. He’s a cheeky fella
Both Together:
Originally outdoor dogs, they now prefer staying indoors close to their person. They may spend short periods outside or on the deck, though they tend to return indoors quickly.

Meme’s Medical History:
Meme recently underwent bilateral mammary gland surgery, desexing, and dental care. A chest X-ray was performed to check her lungs so she has had a top to bottom restore lol
Milo’s Medical History:
Milo recently had a standard cyst removal
Ideal Home Environment
Milo and Meme would thrive in a calm home with gentle daily routines. They are best suited to remain together as a bonded pair. A quiet home where someone is around often would help them feel safe and settled. These little ones are so so joyful and certainly have plenty of spirit in every step
Given their senior age, a single-level home may be helpful over time, although they are currently managing stairs well. Fewer stairs may support their long-term comfort and well-being.
A home that is willing to take on two seniors and care for all their needs as they age and please be mindful we have done all of the medical requirements like teeth . desexing etc already
