Annie keeps me laughing! She’s a shy, sweet little girl on one hand, and a laugh-out-loud little comic on the other. This girl has a mind of her own. She’s made it perfectly clear that she doesn’t like spending time on the grooming table. She REALLY hates having a bath, and prefers her fur clipped short in a puppy clip.
I can’t help but comply with Annie’s wishes. She’s such a little imp. In fact, we’ve taken to calling her Tinker Bell, Tink for short. Once sporting her puppy clip, she almost appears flying in the air as she lopes around the circumference of the back field behind the house. A huge smile on her face. Her eyes glowing.
Over the past couple of months, her puppy coat got out of hand, and little Tink was masquerading as a sheep. She was a salt-and-pepper ball of fluff all over. Other than her Setter shaped head and trademark tail, it was hard to believe there was an English Setter existing inside all that fur! The time was long overdue, the little sheep needed to return to being an English Setter!
When Annie and I were out for a walk right after her puppy click , a neighbor down the road asked me how old my new puppy was. Annie, now seven years old, the eldest canine in our threesome, will forever be young – in appearance and attitude. Love your spunk, Tink!
