Take a big white dog sporting a bright pink vest down any hallway and in no time she's holding court, working to both protect total strangers (who don't know they're being herded) while learning to allow them to mussy-up her face in her "Pet Me I'm A Therapy Dog" career move...
But the funniest (and most consistent) response is when we pull out the phone to start bragging on the others...
Number 1 question asked:
"What kind of dog IS she?"
(Answer: Great Pyrenees)
Second question: "How much does she weigh?" (Answer: 75 pounds as of her last vet visit; she's gained at least 5 since we've been here...)
But the eyes really pop open when I say "But she's just a puppy...Just 8 months old...she's FAR from full grown~"
And in our never-ending efforts to educate the world on matters of Pyrenees dogs with goat-herding talents while introducing one that leapt off the farm to start her own career as a therapy dog, we can't help but laugh
..........at Hix's big head!
(Seen here the day I left...Don't you KNOW these Shepherd people are grateful I didn't tote him in for training!)
Nope. Some things are best left alone...
Like Hix...back on the farm with the kids ...
(After all, somebody's gotta watch out for those wiley coyotes!)
