Iley (pronounced eye lee) is just a spoiled brat. She does however know when I have a migraine coming on. She's very tuned in to me when something isn't right. But normally she sticks to me like a tick. She can find me anywhere on the farm if I have walked. (In less than 5 minutes)
Of course she's a house dog. And gets along great with the 21 yr old cat. (He's another story)
Yes, I spoil her rotten. (within reason, the last thing you want is a pushy GSD) She knows lots of different commands. She won't go any further than 20 feet when we are walking and she's off the lead. When we go somewhere in the car or truck she will stay in the vehicle with all the windows down while I go into a store or wherever.
Oh yes, I love her. You couldn't take this dog away from me for anything.
We now have the opportunity to get another. Another female. Red and Black. She has a slight heart murmur but they think she'll grow out of it. The breeders want her to go to a special home. I guess we were lucky enough to be their first pick. I think we should get her and have hubby bond this time. They want to give her to us. They know I would spay her . She comes with a guarantee that if she doesn't grow out of it and we have to put her down (heaven forbid) they would give us another from another litter. I get too attached.
The cat is my old man. I've had him for 21 years (almost 22) He hated dogs until we added Fuzzy to the house. (Fuzzy was my Golden/Lab mix) He really seems to like Iley though.
My children found him as a kitten and brought him home. I think it was a set up. But, you know how it is when your babies bring home a puppy or kitty and plead with you to keep it.
He's spoiled rotten too, but has earned it. He still catches mice, and spiders. HE also keeps Iley in line. If she gets too rough while playing he puts a claw on her muzzle and she backs off. Yes, he still has all his claws. He never scratched anyone. Never damaged the furniture. Everyone who meets him falls in love with him. He also knows sit, stay, jump and lay down. LOL he's so cute
