Four Legged Friend




Okay, so I know everybody says their dog is the best dog in the whole world, but I really and truly think my dog is the very best in the whole world!

Daisy is our basset hound who thinks she is a lap dog. She is smallish for her breed, but there is nothing little about her! Even when she drives you crazy, you cannot help but fall for her big eyes, dopey ears, ungraceful gate, and the way her lips purse up like a caroler when she howls. She knows when you are sick or sad and how to make you laugh. She knows when you get up every morning (or should be up in order to be with her), anticipates your daily activities and moods, but above all, she knows how to be loyal and comforting as only a dog can.

I miss her.

Here are some facts about Daisy:

Age- 5 (human years of course)

Nickname- Sissy

Favorite foods- peanut butter, carrots, apples, cheezits/nips, oatmeal, and ICE CREAM

Favorite toys- Dad's socks, stuffed squeaky pink purse, mitten ornament (snatches it off the tree every year)

Favorite place- home, next to you or on you

Sports- mischief making, sleeping

Skills/Tricks- sit, lay down, jump, speak (sometimes all at once), can catch food in her mouth, various bird calls, facial expressions

Biggest fears- deer, frogs, mean dogs, extra strength Tylenol pm (yeahhh, long story)

Best friend- me (heeheehee)
