SpOtLiGhT: SuZie

Oh our Suz Boo! While Bailey works in the office and Gracie sleep, Suzie monitors the backyard. Suzie would love to be an outside dog. She is the reason we installed a doggie door. Suzie would rather be outside than anywhere else. It is actually hard to get pictures of Suzie because she is never around. Matt and I try to cuddle with her as much as possible. Besides her regular tummy rubs, she is "Miss Independent."

Here is Suzie's signature move....guilty face then the rollover.

When Suzie does decide to come in the house, she usually plays with toys (more like destroys the toys) and the other babies.

Here is Suzie captured in "Hitler" mode. We have to close the door to the laundry room where the food is kept, otherwise Suzie will stay in there and guard it. She won't leave the food and growls at the others who walk by. If my purse is on the ground, a grocery sack on the ground, etc she will go into this dictator alter-ego. She isn't this way about the communal toys they share though. Luckily. So, needless to say we don't leave anything on the floors for her to guard.

Matt calls her "the keeper of the flame" when he grills. Suzie guards the grill when he is cooking.

We love Suzie so much. She is quirky and has such a distinctive personality. I worry about her the most since she is so independent. I wish I knew what she was thinking. I wish I could afford to live on a couple of acres for her to enjoy the outdoors even more. (But then I would really worry more.) Her long, narrow body acts as a megaphone. You can here her bark from down the street. She is truly a unique girl.


WE LOVE YOU SUZE BOO
