Today is Kara’s seventh birthday. I took the picture above this morning. I think she was still waking up. Here’s a nicer picture of her:
I think she’s a very fine-looking Samoyed. Type-y as they say.
Kara is my walking buddy. Every day she and I take two good-sized walks together, probably 4-5 miles in all. In all likelihood I spend more time dedicated to her than to the other dogs put together. In the morning we’ll take one walk, typically through the nearby forest preserve while in the afternoon we’ll take a walk around the neighborhood, a slightly different route every day to keep it from getting old.
She’s a very sweet, loving dog with an unfortunate obsession with small dogs, particularly small white dogs, and eating non-food items off the ground—twigs, bark and so on. She’s particularly interested in “fun dogs”. A “fun dog” is a dog that is barking, growling, jumping, and lunging. Not my idea of fun but it’s certainly hers.
