Spike turned three last July and Squish turned two last September (September 2nd was the random date assigned to be his birthday based on what we know of his history - accurate to within a couple of months, anyway).
Squish is - not exactly broken, but not exactly the dog he should have been, either. He was taken from his mother too young and spent his early months in isolation - being a dog is a thing he's had to learn from scratch when it should have come naturally, and I don't think he'll ever do it with Spike's ease and flair.
Spike is a dog of extraordinary perception, and one who can't help but take responsibility for the welfare of those around him. He really didn't want to share our life together with a raw puppy, but he has helped Squish enormously all the same.
