My dog (Poppy) is the best family dog - possibly ever. I grew up with dogs (not literally ffs, parents raised me) but this dog really is the supreme dog.
Let me explain.
All black, collie labrador cross. The temperament of a collie when it suits her, and that of a lab other times.
So this means at the park she runs around like a total lunatic, and takes hours to 'run her legs off'.
Whereas the other day I was necking a bowl of cereal on the sofa for breakfast, watching SY05 (6 months old) in his bouncy chair when Poppy strolled over, sat beside him, looked at me first and then gazed into SY05's eyes for a few seconds, and then placed her paw delicately on his hand. He smiled back at the mutt, then she gently nuzzled inside his cheek. It was a truly beautiful moment.
Then the other night there was a slight noise outside that stirred SY04 and startled SY02. Poppy then sounded like an entire pack of baskerville hounds. After being congratulated and then commanded to stand down, returned to her basket and curled up all cute looking.
Having known lots of dogs, from yoof to adulthood I have never been so smitten with a dog. She really is the best.
