Daisyism ... "World's Greatest Dog"

Anyone who knows me even a little knows that I believe Daisy to be the "World's Greatest Dog." She comes when I call her, never gets on the furniture, can hold her bladder forever, doesn't bark in the house, loves baths and puts up with my kids climbing all over her and even taking away her favorite bone or toy. Sometime I think she is a little picked on, but she loves the kids and looks at them as her puppies. I've always thought she would be the best mother. We even talked about it for a long time, but in the end decided against it.

Something new happened this week that proved without a doubt that Daisy is the Greatest. Caitlyn and Austin are babysitting a puppy. It is a cute ball of fluff, but like all puppies requires a lot of attention. I prepared the girls for all the responsibility that caring for a puppy takes, but none of us counted on Daisy helping out. We have the dog tethered to the freezer, so that if by chance he does have an accident (like puppies do) it won't be on my carpet. Here's where Daisy steps in ... she has laid on the floor letting the puppy climb all over her, wrestled with it, brought it toys (and when the toys are to big for the puppy's mouth and slipped away she has brought them back). She has allowed it to eat and drink from her bowl and even let him chew on her new bone.

We all have been pleasantly surprised how well they have gotten on, but today was the biggest surprise. I rushed home from church to let the puppy out hoping to avoid an accident and discovered that the puppy had pulled his tether free. Luckily for us Daisy was on the watch. She picked up the leash in her mouth and walked the puppy. Keeping him close to her and out of trouble. I couldn't believe it and I knew no one else would either, so i took pictures of exactly what I found. NOW THAT IS A GREAT DOG!
