A note on last night - around 2:30am, Ringo started barking for whatever reason, woke up Lola and then also the girls in the living room. I got up and took everyone out and when we got back in, the girls were none too happy about going back in their crates (they acted like they were ready for the day!). I tried to go back to bed, but they started yipping and, so I could let Jim sleep, I went out in the living room and hushed them, and then when I showed that I was sitting in one of the recliners, they both settled down and went back to bed. When Jim got up to get ready for work, I let the girls out again and after using the bathroom outside, Maya curled up on one of the dog beds in the living room and Mindy hopped up in my recliner, curled up, and promptly went back to sleep. I don't mind except that her nose is still snotty from being sick.
Hard to tell if it's Mindy's sickness or personality, but Maya seems like she needs alot more exercise and running around to satisfy her, while Mindy is content with staying fairly close by me. I'm withholding a ruling until she's much better (she is showing great signs of improvement - it's just that snot and cough!). Also tried to get the girls to hop in my car (just moving it into the garage) but neither one seemed inclined to do so. Maybe I can try to take Maya for a walk down the road this evening after the sun has let up.
Both of us (Jim and I) agree so far that even though the girls act very well together (have not witnessed any guarding of anything/no acting out towards each other at all), we think in the right environment they could both also shine apart from each other. But speaking of them together, grabbed these pictures this morning:)
