Let me introduce you to Symon and Murphy - my "granddogs." They are Maltese - sweet and cuddly and cute but not much brain activity to talk about. However, I DO love them and when I go visit my daughter they are the entertainment - and they are her babies so I have to love them - at least until the real baby comes and then they'll go back to being just pests, I mean pets.
So now that you've met the real Symon and Murphy, let me show you my versions....
They are cute and cuddly - and have about as much intelligence as the real Symon and Murphy...but they don't chew or pee or constantly lick my face....
