Jackie's comment on yesterday's post inspired me to put up a photo of Lila all “made-up”.
and one from our walk in the woods:
These pix were taken just three weeks ago, before the endless snows we’ve been having. (As we are told to prepare for another major storm Sunday, winter is suggesting it is going to be a long and hard one. It's too much too soon. We don't usually have this much winter in December.)
The last photo is when her friend Minnie (another Portie) came over to play. The only good shot was of their running around the field.
Portuguese Water Dogs are often called the clowns of dogs. They are lively, fun, playful, extremely intelligent, fun to train (in fact, Lila demands training, is visibly and audibly upset if we miss it) and very agile. Lila loves to get her front paws up on a stool and twirl around. When she sees the stool she gets all exited and wiggly. I have heard Porties have been known to climb ropes. I have also heard that if you can survive the first two years, you will have a great dog. I can confirm that!
She sure is sweet! Yes agile, the dog I saw was very agile, 'circus' like. I just love dogs! Especially cute ones! Leya we got 37cm's of snow yesterday, what is that 15"? It was -20 something wind chill, while we were digging it out!
Hugs!
