She was sold to me as just under 2 and a half years,
If True, It will be the first time one if my countrymen told the truth about a dog he was selling

.
I examined her teeth this morning and they are not fully developed. So she could be even under 2 years old. She is very underweight
and cannot eat a lot at a time. She likes what she sees and Diese is good to her with plenty of patience with her playing hard to get.
I am looking forward to them settling down together, She will be good for him and I am hoping that she is not a control freak.
Time will tell. At the moment she is using charm with me but it is only skin deep, I appreciate the effort but the memories of her former owners
and the confusing bad times will slip into the background. Trust has to be earned.
There is so much about our canine friends that we do not know. 4 legged Biff demonstrated
a very sound knowledge of people,s characters. He was normally very relaxed with women but on the two separate occasions that he took
exceptions to their presence, He was some 20 ft away from them and not directly the target of their conversation.
I had him under control but he did not settle until they left.He knew the members of my family and gave them great greetings only reserved
for someone special. This was when he was 10months old and meeting them for the very first time.
My kids used to fly in once a year, i kept a large 6 bed house, When the kids would land they would all sit down and say.
Show us your dog,s tricks. (Now matter what dog I had, they all had party pieces,
So i would take a stuffed toy out of his box, Tell him to sit in the middle of the large living room with all the family sitting around,
Then march down the hall,,Up the stair into each and every room, hiding the stuffed toy in a wardrobe of behind a dresser,without changing step.
Now he is supposed to be sitting in exactly the same spot until I return. I can hear the kids all cracking up laughing, i know that he is tracking me
on the ground floor going around with an exaggerated posture of listen to my footsteps ,,Then i am heading down the stair and then down the hall,
and just as I open the living room door, he jumps into the exact spot where I had told him to stay,,I remember my kids telling me that he had been
running around all over the place but i would calmly say,, nonsense,,he has not moved,, look at him," and yer man would be sitting like a statue
still in the exact same spot. There were many little moves like that in him that he displayed a terrific sense of humor. He could pretend not to see
a ball, if he was being sent down into a mucky hole to retrieve it, and my son would come into the house and tell me, " Hey dad,, Biff has lost the plot
he cannot see the ball. and outside he would go,issue instructions to the dog and 4 legged Biff would look and look and see nothing..I would always give
him a few minutes to enjoy it and then quietly send him in with a nod of my head.The response was immediate. My son was impressed.
Hide and seek was another one. He would walk all round the darkened Garage and not find them,,It meant the game lasted longer and they felt sorry for him
when he finally did point them out, giving him big hugs,. He was not immune to sarcasm. Our canine friends know a lot lot more than we give them credit for.
Memories,
Biff
