Chef Extraordinaire
She got a special dinner--scrambled eggs, some ground veggies, pasta. She's happy--snoring at my feet. She has always been very nervous/afraid re: storms. I think that is how she ended up wandering the streets of Raleigh, NC, hw positive. She came up here because a friend who was doing Saint rescue in Raleigh had 12 in--several of which were in boarding kennels. I offered to take one...that one was Isabelle. Several volunteers transported her for me to northern NY.Poor baby! Storm must have really scared her. You are a good Auntie!
She was named after the gal's grandma. I'sa Southern Belle is her full name. And yes, she talks with a southern accent (and when we talk to her, we talk that way). And, she channels. Her grammar isn't great. She's got a Ph.D. (she's a philosophy dog). She's a trooper. When she was younger, she could climb trees, escape from every crate I put her in, jump out an open window in the car..."Would the person who owns a brown and white big dog come to the garden center" (a page I heard more than once in the Spring when I'd take her with me to get plants). She flunked obedience class (the first time--this wasn't good--I was an instructor). She was the demo dog in class 4 years later.
She snores, she drools, she is funny looking (a puppy mill Saint), but I love her dearly. But then, I've been told I snore, and sometimes drool, and am funny looking at times...
A friend did two paintings of my dogs for my B'day one year:
James Talmadge Art
Original Art - Mixed Media - Dogs.
This is something I have in common with Martin Sheen and Brooke Shields--I have paintings by James. But mine are special--they were the first dog paintings he ever did and he did them for my B'day. Isabelle is the one who looks as if she's in a wind tunnel in the 2nd painting (mostly white face), smudge-spot on her eye.
