I’m not the only one in the family with a tendency to storm off in a huff. When Makea has her cranky pants on, she lets you know.
Makea gets a stern reprimand from me when she barks wildly and incessantly at the neighbour’s cat. Cats and neighbours are allowed to sit in their own yard in peace, right? But, not on your Nelly. “How dare you interrupt”, this looks says.
Makea, whose name means “sweet” in Finnish, is far from it. Rather, she is one boofy girl. She likes a bit of rough and tumble. Here she is taking one for the team. Doesn’t she do the death stare well? Believe it or not, this is her idea of fun.
You gotta love the Finnish Lapphunds.
Kind Regards
Tracy.

Now that my young adults have dogs, I can see each one has their own personality and I’m delighting in that.

She, or one like her, would be perfect for you, Martha. Big noise maker, playful, expert hole digger. Loves her walks. She would love Bear and Dusty. She doesn’t need to be top dog. She just fits in.

I’ve looked for one, but so far no luck. Bear really needs a buddy like that. Dusty isn’t up to it any more, poor old guy.

I’ll ask around. There aren’t so many in the US, but there must be ex-show dogs that go to new homes once in a while.

It’s very enjoyable reading the tales about your dogs, Tracy. I haven’t owned a dog since I was a child, and since then have been more of a cat person. (I do like dogs, though). Now we don’t even have a cat, but our last one, Hamlet, who was really our daughter’s cat but we inherited him, was such a character. He used to like looking at the next door neighbour’s dogs through the paling fence and sending them into a frenzy. It was quite an intentional act.

That’s exactly what happens, Jane. No amount of barking will persuade that cat to move on. 🙂

Dogs do let you know when they’re not happy with you, don’t they? My Lucy was so good at giving me a “I’m SO disappointed in you look” that I was sure she must have been a mother at some point…..

So true, Ann. Funnily enough, it is the girls that give me this reaction. My boy dog just moves on to the next escapade without holding a grudge. 🙂
