It's when two maltese do the same things at the same time.

I had never heard of it, but my business partner is a vet, and he
is the one who pointed it out to me.

Dr. Dressler and I were meeting in my office yesterday, and
"the girls" - Kanga and Tink - were hanging out with us.

They are completely different in personality, but Dr. Dressler

Maui passed a…]]> http://jamesjacobson.com/492/valentines-day-goes-to-the-dogs/ http://jamesjacobson.com/488/book-publishing-predictions/ http://jamesjacobson.com/481/reviewing-restaurants-in-maui-the-tasty-details/
