Photo/s of the day. Part I: Missy and Mum's garden.

[moonvoice]

Oh Missy,
she's a sweetheart,
but undersocialised and rarely walked
and often stressed.
Poor thing.
A total lapdog though.
And for those who need to know; a tenterfield terrier.







On my very accomodating lap. I always forget her tiny white hairs aren't really compatible with the huge amounts of black I wear.

Missy is adorable, and your mom's garden is gorgeous!

[moonvoice]

Thanks! :D

Oh wow, there is so much character in Missy's big beautiful eyes. :D

[moonvoice]

She's got a lot of character. I miss her (and my brother) the most about living at home.

Haloo Missy! Your life is about to vastly improve!

[moonvoice]

Why is her life about to vastly improve?

[jensurvivor]

Er, you mentioned she wasn't well socialised or getting walked much.

[jensurvivor]

Sorry..

[jensurvivor]

I thought this was the dog you were adopting, and I didn't realise it was living with your mum. Apologies.

[moonvoice]

Oh, I thought I'd missed something! Not the other way around. It's all good. :) She's pretty adorable, I wish I could take her in.

You can see Missy's nervous of the camera. She's very obviously sweet natured, though. I particularly like that last photo of her -- doggie smile! The first flower, that looks like a pinwheel, is also very interesting.

Yeah she doesn't like the camera. I kept the flash off (I pretty much always do with animals - Moet and Maybe can take a flash, but probably only because it happens to them about twice a year max) and kept things to a minimum with photos.

She has a lovely doggy smile, it's just rare to see! I love playing around with her outside. My first memory of Missy when they brought her home was of her being uncertain in the back garden, and no one else knew what to do, so I ran and called her name and ran some more and she galloped after me and was pretty soon galloping around the whole garden checking everyone out, with a big smile on her face. :)

awww, missy is so cute! she looks like the jack russell terrier my family had when i was younger, except smoother-coated and WAY more affectionate. pirate was the anti-lap dog. it was basically like having a tiny cranky old man live with us.

Yeah, tenterfield terriers were built from jack russells (among other dogs) I think? They have longer legs though, which is hard to tell in the photos, but when they stand, they look like the deer version of jack russells. Heh. They tend to be a little better suited to being pets; but most of them are a lot more robust and 'terrier-like' than Missy. She is total lapdog. Like... for realz.
