Opposites Attract: Benji and Bleu

Siblings are like marmite; You either love your siblings or you hate them. You’re either mirror images of one another or complete polar opposites. Can you guess which one it true for Benji and Bleu?

[Bleu front and center]

Bleu has alway been an old soul. He goes to bed at 9 o’clock each night and snores until his heart’s content. When Bleu is asleep, he is ASLEEP. He lives solely on his terms, with the power to make any dog or human adhere to his commands. If Bleu wants his belly scratched, he will get his belly scratched. If Bleu wants food, he will get food. It doesn’t matter where he is or who he is with, Bleu is top dog. Don’t be fooled, he’s always more than happy to share the love and affection of his human owners with his siblings (he’s not a monster, after all!). To be honest, Bleu doesn’t particularly care for cuddles that much, but when jealousy strikes, he doesn’t hesitate to steal the attention for his own.

If you hadn’t gathered already, Bleu is extremely selective – particularly when it comes to his puppy pals. He loves to do his own thing at the dog park, but when he is feeling adventurous and sociable, Bleu has a very demanding list of requirements that all potential pack members must meet before even considering to step foot near him – unless you’re a doodle, Bleu loves doodles. In fact, when he would visit the park as a puppy, Bleu would only ever play with doodles or other huskies – they’re one of the few things he is decisive on each and every time.

Another thing which Bleu is set on are humans. Don’t get us wrong, if he can get attention, he’ll take it. He loves to play and receive compliments (but of course, his ego is stable). Humans are second to none in Bleu’s world; after all, a pooch needs some consistency in his life.

Bleu’s brother Benji loves people too, but unlike Bleu, it’s doodles that take the crown over people. Benji is like a kid in a candy store. He is always at 100 as it is, but when he’s out and about and he spots a doodle, he easily hits 1000. Unlike Bleu though, Benji is a lot more inclusive and will always welcome dogs of any breed to play. Although, if you were a little dog you may be in for a shock, as Benji’s childlike energy has often been found to startle the poor things! Benji’s favorite pastimes include participating in the neighborhood watch, digging up the yard, and devouring pupcupas from Starbucks. He even has his picture on the Starbucks ‘Hall Of Fame’. He is very proud of it. 

Being the complete opposite of Bleu, Benji clearly uses up a lot of energy throughout his day, which of course needs to be restored if he is going to use it all up again tomorrow. So, like the self care king he is, Benji always makes time to lay on the sofa and rest, looking out of the window and watching the world go by.

Each day is full of adventure for Benji and Bleu, but the moment these brothers wind down and rest is the best part – at least, it is for their owners! Don’t worry though, as although these two are very different at a glance, one thing they have in common is certain – they will both be up and causing mischief again tomorrow!
