This
is Tawni, we got her such a short time ago, and her first vet trip we
were told she had a heart murmur. I, of course was heartbroken, she is my
first dog that is really mine. However we went to another vet who informed us
that it was minimal but we had to keep an eye on it. She acts as healthy as
ever, she's happy and active. And we're confident that on her next vet trip,
that murmur will be gone. We lost our other dog Monty due to old age, he was
a fifteen-year-old Schipperke. Tawni's been there for us, she's really helping all
of us through the loss of him I feel. She's a great dog, and we love her more
than anything, I can only hope the best for the condition of her heart. She's
so smart, been through puppy school and she was the top of her class.
Although not much of a barker, she's come to be very attached and protective
of me. Tawni sleeps in my bed with me and if someone tries to come into my
room in the middle of the night she barks loudly until she sees it's just a
family member. But if it were a stranger, it's good to know that she would be there.
She doesn't know any tricks yet, we'll get to those after we perfect her
basic commands. She's strong at weighing over 40 pounds, though it has been a
while since we last had her weighed. She likes to rip out the grass in the
yard for some reason, she always has. We make fun of her, saying she's half
goat. Tawni loves tug of war, wrestling, and although she's not much of a fan
of water but we're getting her warmed up to it slowly. My dad nicknamed her
buffalo 'cause of her size and being that she's only gonna get bigger. She
gets really overexcited, especially around kids and tends to jump on them, so
we're working on that and teaching her to ignore my nephew. She loves to
lick, and snuggle up close whenever you're lying down. She also has something
I've been told is just a puppy phase, where she gets a burst of energy and
runs around the house or yard like crazy, it's hilarious. She loves to play
with ice cubes, and is really bad about giving up the toy once she brings it
back to you when we're trying to play fetch. The keep-away game is something
she's a master at. I love her, I don't know what I'd do without her.
