Isabelle (Izzy for short), shortly after my 19 yr. old daughter found her in a cardboard box by the side of the road, 8 years ago. She was maybe 4 weeks old and hadn't been weaned yet, so it was touch and go for the first week we had her.

First day of puppy obedience classes. It didn't take.

Now, she's an excellent nanny to my two grandsons, and my chief taste tester. Here she is enjoying a pig skin dog treat that I smoked for her.

I think I had just pulled a roast out of the smoker, and her tail is wagging too fast for the camera to follow.

I wasn't too happy when my daughter first brought her home, but can't imagine what life would be like without her now. She lives with the daughter's family nearby, but occasionally will spend the night with us, to get some rest from keeping the grandsons out of trouble. It's a full-time job.

OK that tail blur picture is really funny. It's like the dog condenses out of the air.

Does anyone else squeak at their dogs? I make various squeaks and chirps similar to sparrow calls, and since no one else does, the dogs always know it's me. When Linda had the Chihuahuas they would break into alarm barking as soon as they heard me open the front door but as soon as I squeaked they would recognize me and switch to greeting yelps.

Horses are another story. They like a nicker which is like a soft, low-voiced rolling grunt. Linguists would call it a series of glottal stops. It's fun to murmur it into their ears.

I finally found my Favorite Picture:

That's my little "Smokey" on the left when his mother deserted him & his 2 Black & White Brothers.
They were all under 1 pound at this time.
Bear Jr took the B & W brothers in & named them "Cheech & Chong":
