Taking
this picture of Cassie was the hardest thing I think I've ever
done! She was eight weeks old, and there were three of us trying to get pictures
of her that day. I'd push her down in the Laundry Cart and as soon as
I'd back away, out of the camera's view, she'd jump out. We took four rolls
of film that day. We ended up with a lot of good pictures but this one
seems to be everybody's favorite. I didn't think I was ready for a puppy
when my husband brought her home but I am grateful he did. We love her
to death!
Cassie was the only survivor of a litter of twelve. She is starting to come
around more when she is with other dogs. She's more playful now. My
husband and I also have a cat, and watching the two of them together is a
lot of laughs. Cassie is definitely a "one person" dog. She follows me
every where I go. She loves on me and answers to every command I give
her. When my husband gives her a command, she completely ignores him.
You can tell she's a "mama's girl." (Every one who's been around her would
say that).
When we brought her home a month ago, I bought her a bunch of chew toys.
The one she likes the most is a stuffed animal that I've had for years.
She carries that bear around every where! She even sleeps with it.
Although she doesn't mind her daddy very well, I think her favorite
thing to do is, play with him. He usually gives up before she does and
she always tries to get him to play some more. She is a very smart dog.
She is just about housebroken now and she is only ten weeks old. If she
is playing and you start talking to her, she'll stop what she's doing
and come sit by you to listen. As you talk, she tilts her head back and
forth. I think it's the cutest thing. I know it's not a trick but I call
it her "head tilt." And as far as being independent or affectionate, the
only person who can hold her like a baby is me. Everyone else who picks
her up, she screams and cries and fights to get down. I immediately pick
her up after the other person puts her down and she can go to sleep in
my arms. She's still getting to know us and we are still getting to know
her. And she hasn't had that much time to develop her entire
personality, but so far, she's a gem. I couldn't imagine my life without her.
