About a Dog

A few things I love about having this dog:

• Morning walks in the cool, fresh air on a plot of 'unspoilt' city soil where birds are happy to sing and grass and trees are eager to grow.
• Visible excitement expressed in pawing, twirling, running and pleading with her eyes offered at meal times and upon our return home.
• The Spin and Sit.
• A personality which shines and glimmers, one that says "I'm yours" and "Even though I'm yours, I'm not doing that" (i.e. Wearing Rainboots)
• Her eagerness to be near us; held, pet and enjoyed
• Her willingness to let us go about daily affairs and tasks without being a nusance.
• The way she fits our life and our season better than I would have ever imagined was possible.

A few things that have been 'shake-my-head-in-frustration' moments due to this lovely face:

• Her desire to chow-down on my hair in the middle of the night like a crazy-person and with such determination it was slightly terrifying (completely unsure what product the hairdresser used...)
• Upon returning home last night, discovering 2 pair of my not-so-abundant-supply of undies chewed to shreds! Followed by trash strewn through the bedroom.

(Typed having recently finished two-mini-sized paper cups of coffee mix: instant coffee, creamer and sugar - a little shaky.)
