I've had a lot of strangers ask me "
Are they twins?" over the past few years. I actually get this a lot less than I used to, simply because Cort and Reid look so different in size and appearance that people think they are siblings, not twins. On our recent visit to see my aunt and uncle, I took some pictures of their dogs. I got home and started looking at the pictures, and for the life of me, couldn't figure out if I'd been photographing the same dog. Two of them look very similar. They could be twins.
I finally put them in a collage, to see if they were different (the middle dog, Abby, causes no trouble of course). One of them has a slightly fluffier coat and is more black than the other. Yes, I think they are two different dogs!
No doubt my aunt and uncle have no trouble whatsoever telling the two of them apart. Like when the twins were infants - people asked how I told them apart, but to me they were two completely different babies.
Readers, have you ever had trouble telling two things apart?
It's funny, my twins look nothing alike but people are always getting their names mixed up :)
ReplyDeleteSheep can be hard to tell apart. My daughter can always spot the differences.
Those dogs would be hard to tell apart. Growing up, my best friends were twins. My parents had a hard time telling them apart, but I never had any trouble. To me they were completely different people. I have a nephew and niece who are twins. People used to ask if they were identical.
ReplyDeleteWe have friends that have son that are not twins, but look like they could be. I have the hardest time telling them apart.
ReplyDeletePeople mistake me and my sister a lot. One time I was in her town walking with my Husband and people thought it was my sister with another man. Kind of funny but could be trouble.
ReplyDeleteYou've a better eye than I. :) They're cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI have noticed over the years that it is very hard to find two things that are equal. Things are less boring that way.
ReplyDeleteThere great looking dogs !!! Have a wonderful day
ReplyDeleteTheir dog so look the same.
ReplyDeleteWhen I call to talk with my granddaughters I get their voices mixed up they sound the same. Although there are 2 and a 1/2 years between them.
what gorgeous little dogs. Yes my twin cousins when they were young if I hadn't seen them for a couple of months but it soon b ecame apparent who was who.
ReplyDeletethat's cute - you got the same wonderment from the pups. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you are around twins for any length of time, you can learn to tell them apart. But at first glance, if they are identical, I cant...otherwise, I usually can. Little things are what I look at...smile, hair, etc. I have been accused of being very observant! lol
ReplyDeleteI bet side by side, they don't look too much alike. But if I saw the different dogs one at a time I'd think they were the same!
ReplyDeleteThe one on the left and the one on the right are Cairn Terriers like my Skye, only a different color. I think it is amazing how dogs are breed and look alike!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful little dogs! I definitely wouldn't becable to tell them apart.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, i've known a couple of sets of twins, and i could never figure out who was who.
Oh goodness, they both look so much like our Katie that we lost a few years ago. Beautiful dogs.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are friends with 14 year old twin boys and have known them all their lives. I would never call them by name till just a year or so ago when one gained weight. Not that I WANTED him to gain weight, but now I can finally call them by name!
ReplyDeleteOnly when I drink too much!
ReplyDeleteWoah, they do look very similar! Cute dogs :) I still have trouble telling my twin cousins apart!
ReplyDeleteAdorable, all 3 of them!
ReplyDeleteOne of my neighbors that's my age has a twin. I did not know that as his family lives in other states. One day I seen him driving and he was also a passenger! Freaked me out! lol I have never seen older twins to look identical like that ever! They look to be the same size, and they had the same haircut too. Very shocking for me! lol
ReplyDeleteI'd go by their personalities...that's my secret!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI get more mixed up when a family names their kids with the same first letter in their names, i.e. Ashley and Alicia. I get tongue tied every time!
My SIL is a twin. So many people comment that they can't tell the difference between her and her sister. Like you, I have no problem. But their baby pictures? That is a completely different story!
ReplyDeleteI think those doggys do look alike. I would have to put 2 different colored ribbons on them to tell them apart-- but a funny question was asked of some puggy friends-"how do you tell your pug from all the rest"?
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is easy!

I always hesitate to ask folks, "are they twins?" I know it would be tiring to answer that frequently. It is difficult to tell these 2 dogs apart. Like you say, no problem for their owners who are with them all the time.
ReplyDeleteThe pups are too cute! I haven't had any trouble, I can even tell the difference in my visiting squirrels. lol!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute little dogs!
ReplyDeleteI guess when it comes to animals I have no issue in telling them apart.
ReplyDeleteBut with Dylan McDermott and Dermot Milroney -- that's another story! Lol.
I remember these twin boys in high school. I couldn't tell them apart-they were equally cute;)
ReplyDeleteWhen Isaak was an infant I called him Mica a few times. With his eyes closed he looked just like his brother did. Isaak's eyes are so different than Mica's. They certainly look like brothers, but not twins.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm in my sister's neighborhood. I get friendly waves. It's no doubt in my mind that they think I'm my sister Terra. We do look pretty much alike. We have our differences, but from across the way I can see how people might think I'm her.
