Wow....It's been a while since I've tried to tell you all about what we've been up to down here in South Carolina, We looked for shows to go to, but there are none within our dirving range. I have since decided to get her used to the public life by going to Keith's ballgames. Everyone loves Atka at first sight, then when they meet her...the next question is what is she? Where can I get one like her? I am quick to tell them all about the breed, however Atka is a special dog... in fact one of a kind.
Atka has a new best friend is (sshhhhhhh....don't tell the other dogs) a CAT! Her name is Scratchy and they have an unusual but great friendship. They play chase for hours and Scratchyhas consented to allowing herself to become Atka's personal toy. She lets her put her whole head in her mouth (if she feels like it), drag her around and lick her like another dog. In return Scratchy gets to come into Atka's domain chase her around, swat at her like a boxer's sparing partner and lay around to just be lazy together. A perfect match.
The warm weather has caused Atka's hair to thin out way more than I am happy about, but what can I do? She wants to sleep under the covers, which I try to stop daily. More blown coat! Oh well maybe she'll get more this winter. I can only hope.
