Dakota Bear

Hey All!

I want you to meet the love of my life....Dakota Bear.  Haha, I'm half kidding.

Dakota Bear is my lovable Australian Shepherd.  A red try. He is 6yrs old and one of most crazy and wonderful dogs in the world. Of course in my perspective.  

Ahh - he is beautiful.  GORGEOUS.  His reddish brown fur, white chest, pink nose, and carmel eyes are to die for! Almost....he has a naughty side too.

Soooo here is a list of things I love about him.....and things I don't like about him - just to give you guys an idea of his personality.

Naughty List:

1.  He barks a lot - like at anything that moves.  Actually, since he has gotten a bit older he doesn't bark as much as he used to - but his favorites are still cars and birds. :)

2. He would to absolutely anything for.....beef.  I think thats his true love (which is depressing) - a cow.  I mean cows aren't THAT great...seriously. :P

3. I can't really decide if this is good or bad - he only ALWAYS listen to one person - my dad.  he listens to me but not like he listens to my dad.

4. His 3d favorite food is fish food.  I have to keep my fish food is a secure draw so he doesn't get into it!  One time, I left it out on accident and he tore it open and ate the whole thing.  YUCK!! And, of course, I house smelled REAL good after that.....

5. Apart from barking, one of his hobbies is well....animals.... His greatest enemy is a skunk.  I hate to say it, but he's put down 2 in his life.  And smells really bad afterward....you can't imagine....

Nice List:

1. He has the softest fur ever - and its fairly long. I love to pet him and rest my head on his back.

2. He's a good listener and secret keeper.  I can tell him what I bad day I'm having, and he doesn't peep a word. :) He just sits there and looks at me with those gorgeous eyes.

3. He protects me....our family.  He would do anything to keep us safe - even from the mailman.

4. He's beautiful. Period. (that makes up for a lot of his 'sins' :P)

5. In the morning, he will sneak into my room and lick my face, urging me to get up.  Thats like the best way ever to wake up in the morning.

I could really go on and on about him, but you guys would probably throw up in the end or something SOOOOO - i'll stop about now. :P

But before I go, here are a few pics:

Haha...most of these were taken with a treat held up right above the camera. :P

Cya!
