Khail, the Dog of the Day
Name: Khail
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: Afghan Hound
Home: Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
 
   This is Winde Star Tasha Khail (we call her Khail). We adopted her when she was sixteen months old. Khail is Alpha Female in our group of six (two females and four males) and she rules the roost. She truly believes she is a human as well. We have birthday parties for all of our dogs and they wear birthday hats, special bandanas, have birthday cakes with their own name on it, etc.....that is all except Khail will participate! She leaves the room during the singing of "Happy Birthday". She always gets the most comfortable seat in the house and if anyone is already sitting in it, they get sat on too. She is very regal in attitude and thinks the world revolves around her. You never have to raise your voice to her when telling her what to do, she understands just as a child does. If you raise your voice, it hurts her feelings and she will sulk and brood about the insult for hours. Khail is the perfect house dog as well, she is the only one I have ever had that will not bother food if you leave it unattended on the table or countertop. She will wait until it is offered to her and then will still not eat it until it is in her dish and nobody is watching her. She likes to dine in privacy. She is very affectionate with family members, but is snooty to strangers until they become friends. She never forgets somebody who has visited us. If she liked them, they are warmly welcomed back and if she didn't like them, she ignores them when they come back. We love her, she is one of a kind.
