'Maggie' and 'Church...'

My sister Carolyn has a dog named Maggie(see dark, bigger dog below). Hobbes and Maggie are quite good friends, and often play together when Carolyn comes down. Kathryn has a sister-in-law named Maggie Church. We often have dinner with the Churches, and to keep Hobbes from getting confused, as he thinks the dog Maggie is there whenever we go over, we try to say, no, this is Miss Maggie Church.
Hobbes has not quite grasped this yet, as we found out this weekend when we stayed at Carolyn's. Her roommate has a little dog named Jack. Hobbes was enthralled with the 2 dogs, and we did not have to entertain him at all the entire weekend. They really babysat him for us. He followed them up and down the stairs, took them their water bowl, with the water all over the floor, tossed them balls, told them to 'GET DOWN!' and 'COME 'ERE!' He loved to call them, only he kept saying, "Maggie, come 'ere! Church, come 'ere!" I didn't know why he kept calling Jack 'Church', until I realized he was saying 'Maggie-Church.' He put the name together, but thought it meant the other dog. It was quite funny, and my Dad enjoyed telling the real Maggie Church all about it on Monday.

They loved Madeline-and vice-versa!
They even tried to give her kisses-which, although kinda cute, was still kinda gross.:)
