More Dog Love

Have I said yet how much I love this dog?

I would not want to imagine life without her.
She is so attentive.  She hangs on every word.

Her eyes, well, they just capture you. They invite you to tell her all your secrets because, unlike the Bush’s Baked Beans Dog, …she is very trust-worthy and will never gossip. Her eyes are so full of sympathy and it is like she is looking deep into your soul when you lock eyes with her.  She will sit for long periods of time staring into your face just waiting for you to return the look.

We decided to add to the spoiling process and get her a new pad for her crate for Christmas.

I think she liked it.

AND a new dog bed.  We bought the kind with sides because she loved her plastic tub in the Philippines so much.  However we bought one WAY TOO BIG.  Yup, it would fit a GREAT DANE.  Oh well, she loves it and, well, we sort of plan on adopting a daughter for her some time in the next few months so she will have room to share.  She and Butterscotch used to share the same tub.  (see the two-headed dog photo in this post)

Carmel became even MORE spoiled and is now an INSIDE pooch. Now that we have moved, we are in a home with hardwood floors.

…Hardwood floors + dog ≈ Bambi on ice.

I almost feel sorry for her.
