Favorite Thing About Your Dog?

[Ginger's Mom]

Very cute thread.
Actually, just recently we have had a rather large turn over in the canine population in our neighborhood. A lot of old friends moved out, and several new dogs moved in. Ginger seems to feel it is her duty to welcome all of the new dogs (that are her size or smaller) into the neighborhood. It is really very cute. the other thing I love about her is our snuggle time when I get home from work, that seems to be very important to her, and no matter how many other dogs are visiting, as far as she is concerned that is our special snuggle time, no one is allowed to interfere with that. Other than that they can do anything they want. She really is just a sweetie-pie.

My favorite thing about Ebony is the way she loves to cuddle!! She is seriously the best cuddler in the world, she pushes right up against you, and grunts because shes so happy to be close. It makes me smile.

My favorite thing about Tikeya, is how shes always right there when I need her. Anytime I am feeling down, or just need a friend, she is right there. Its like she sences I am in need of a hug, or a kiss.

My favorite thing about Daisy is her goofy nature, she knows just how to make me laugh, the way she slides off the couch, or sits on Ebonys head. She does so many things to make me laugh, shes a big character.

My favorite thing about Oscar is how floppy he is, right when you pick him up he turns into a ragg doll. You could seriously hang that pup upsidedown and he wouldnt care. (not like I do that though )

My favorite thing about Baby is how well.. she thinks shes a baby. She is so sensitive, always wanting to please everyone, she so so happy go lucky. Her main goal in life is to love every human she meets.

This could take awhile!

Earle---I love that I never have to worry about him. I can take him anywhere, do anything with him, he can be around any dog, any time and he's fine. Never growls, never fights. He's just happy to be part of things.

Muskwa---Although some days it drives me to drink, I love that quick mind of his. I enjoy the challenge of trying to stay one step ahead of him.

Bandit---I love the way he talks. Bandit always has something to say about everything. He grumbles, howls, wooos and carries on pretty much non-stop. If he's awake, chances are he's talking. You can have full converstations with Bandit.

Paxil---Beyond her flawless abilities as a lead dog, I love her sweet, gentle personality. She's always happy, full of kisses and ready to snuggle.

Chum---I love that he has no idea he's a dog. Chum truly believes he is a person! People meeting him for the first time always make some comment to that effect. A good friend of mine once said that she pictures Chum sitting in a smokey club singing the blues--that would be my boy.

Pacer---I love that he trusts me now;that the overwhelming fear and panic he used to live with all the time are gone.

Chase---I love the way he loves Goldie. Her life is much happier now that she has her special friend. I also really like the way he leans in for attention.

Goldie---I love that she doesn't let any of her physical problems slow her down. She's happy, playful and content with her life.

Sleet---She's my canine soulmate. There isn't a thing about her that I don't adore. My life would be completely different if I had never met Sleet--she was my first sled dog. I hate how fast her age is starting to show.

Pingo---I love the goofy side of her. She's a fine little lead dog, but she's at her most adorable when she is trying to carry 10 tennis balls at once and stash them in her ever growing pile of treasures in her dog house.

Sundin---I love his happy little personality. He may be shy, but he's the happiest dog in the yard. I love the traits he shares with his mother too(Pingo). He hordes things, he chases tennis balls and he's reliable leader.

Delta---I love that he came home! I enjoy our morning conversations. He always greets me at the door with a big wooo. It was terribly quiet when he was missing.

Antare---I love how sweet he is when he relaxes enough to let his guard down. I like the way he looks out for his brother.

Heyoka---I love his big goofy personality. He's a gentle giant. His name means clown who teaches through his antics. He is well named.

Kayleigh---I love the challenge of Kayleigh. She's a tough dog with lots of issues. She's my problem child and she's taught me a great deal.

Deuce---I love the joy with which he greets everything! He's rambunctious, on the edge of out of control and happy about it! He completely enjoys the comforts of his new life and actually seems grateful for them.

Raven---I love her crazy side and her sweet side. We call her Crazy Raven more often than we do just Raven. She's hyper, loud, full of attitude and at the same time, a sweet cuddly girl who when she slows down wants to be a lap dog.

Founder---I love his big voice and the way he has gone from head shy to giving head bonks to get attention.

Mac---I love that he is still a big puppy. I could do without the nipping my butt habit, but it's fun to see him play, run and do all the stuff he missed when he really was a puppy! He's also a truly beautiful sight when he runs--long, lean with rippling muscles and a look of pure joy on his face.

Ozzy---I love that he's a momma's boy. That he when the world overwhelms him, when he just can't cope, he knows that I am always a safe place for him.

Hobo---I love his determined spirit and pure enthusaism; the way nothing slows him down, not even a wolf trying to eat him! I love his happy dance, his joyful barks when he is excited and the silly way he covers his eyes when I try to make him go outside..."I can't see you, so you must not be able to see me!"

Franklin---I love the gifts his shyness gave me and the other dogs. Franklin was the first of the timids to enter my life. Without him I wouldn't have know how to help Antare, Pacer, Sundin and the others. I love that he has unpacked his baggage and isn't a timid anymore!

Anvik---I love his utter devotion to me! Huskies are generally pretty independant creatures who don't really care about pleasing their owners. Anvik's world begins and ends with me. It's a nice change!

Tehya---I love her openness. She is essentially undamaged despite a rough start to her young life. She just wants to explore, make new friends, play, and cram as much as she can into every day. Imagine how much fun life would be if we all lived the way Tehya does!

This is going to be hard to narrow it down.

Kersey: I love how cuddly and adoring and affectionate she is. People come over and are surprised at how loving Kersey is. She's so protective when we're not around but she turns into a complete mush when you come in. She will plop her 80 pounds right into their laps if they will allow it. She doesn't discriminate. She loves everyone, young, old, babies, kids, non-dog loving people....doesn't matter to her.

Boone: He's the only non golden or lab I've ever seen who insists on grabbing a toy when he's greeting us or anyone else. He dances and prances with a toy when we come home or when we wake up, or when he comes in when he's been in the back yard. If he can't find a toy to prance around with, he will grab anything that he can find in his frantic search....book of matches, sock, piece of paper, wadded up Kleenex. It's just so adorable and unusual for a GSD to do this and I love it. It really reminds me of my labby boy growing up...he did the same thing.
