oooooo angel eyes...

My brother and his wife suddenly announced one day that they brought home a puppy. They named him something. After a few weeks when they went to the vet they realized that they had got the naming all wrong. He was a she. Oops. Let rename her Angel. An angel she is. What was that word again… portentous…? Yes. The most amazing dog in the world. An absolutely beautiful dog with the least amount of attitude. She genuinely loves having her friends around. There is a lot you can do with her and you can play with her as you like. While she was growing up I loved running with her. I dare say I don’t race her anymore. She is sleek and fast. The only thing is that she does not like other dogs too much. She has a limited circle of friends.
She is the one who initiated Jispa in and more importantly Jasmine into dogs. Earlier jasmine used to run away from any living creature. Especially dogs that … lick!! Yuccckkkk. I couldn’t care less. Jispa didn’t know whom to follow. Slowly she realized through her kaki that dogs have a cute side to them. Jasmine now realized the futility of avoiding the dreaded licking. I love getting licked on the nose by Angel. Jispa almost gets knocked over by her when Angel jumps and reaches for Jispa’s nose.
But it is a beautiful relationship they share. Angel has beautifully contributed to Jispa’s growing up. I guess thanks to her, Jispa is less aversive to dogs and more importantly other animals as well. The power of a sibling in your child’s growth?

There are not many dogs that I know of that allow me to do this to them. She is truly part of teh family
And if she had a theme song I would put my buck on ‘angel eyes’
