Totally TARA
**********
WHAT IS
THAT THING??
Is the question
that I hear most often when I am with her.
People generally
mistake her for a pot bellied pig, a baby bear, a large rat or a fox! She
has also been guessed to be a creature from outer space by more than one
observer. She inherited a nickname of "Bat Dog" after being observed running
back and forth at high speeds through the bushes one evening.
*
TARA IS
MY INFAMOUS SCHIPPERKE.
She is known
for her crazy antics and unruly behaviors. She only weighs about 13 pounds
but thinks she's as big as a horse and will ferociously try to attack every
animal she sees, regardless of size. She's been dressed up in funny costumes,
dragged behind boats on a hydra slide, to hundreds of raging parties, a
prisoner of the horrible Hawaiian quarantine station for four months, surfing
with a pig, boogie boarding, mountain climbing, a pain the the tucas to
everyone who's ever tried to take care of her and loved by everyone who
ever knew her.
SHE'S A
BONNAFIDE CHARACTER AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!
I
LOVE MY CRAZY DOG!
*
IN THE FUTURE,
I will post more photos and write about her many adventures & misadventures.
(She's had a pretty fun, well traveled and exciting life so far!)
