Gotta love a lap dog - and one that's willing to be half-strangled by an affectionate small child! I know from family stories that I kind of, well, I did torture my poor first dog. Sheba was a German Shepherd maybe Doberman mix, and was the smartest, best dog in the whole wide world. Biased? Not me!

Gotta love those block head babies! great leaping pictures of both of them!

It's funny, how some dogs seem born to leap and others are just not interested, and seem not to even know that all four feet could leave the ground with a little effort!

Oh, and Dad? Getting her ready in the morning? Learn the joy of a ponytail! Gather, gather, apply ponytail holder and - done! That's one thing curls do better than straight "slickery" hair - they keep a ponytail holder in place!
