Totally Malamute
Benny and Nico have moved into another phase of their relationship. Although they do not sleep together yet in the yard (maybe we're a little old fashioned about that?) Nico seems to be taking seriously his role as “big brother” to little Benny as he adjusts to life here. The other morning Benny woke up early and started to yip. This time Nico, instead of singing Benny to sleep, let out a long howl which Benny answered with one, much shorter and weaker, of his own. Now here's where it gets interesting: Before Benny was finished, Nico joined him precisely at the interval of an octave, drawing out a long low baritone note to Benny's youthful tenor. It was stunningly accurate! Then they began to sing together, Nico matching and focusing Benny's pitch like every other operatic singing teacher I've ever heard in the studio.
Totally Malamute. Totally cool.
