Check out how her back legs are sprawled out, frog-like.  This is how she normally sits, when she sits.  It means she can&#8217;t spring up too quickly.  Which is ok, as she rarely springs up.  A more typical portrait would have her lying down asleep.<br \/>\n(maybe I should get her thyroid checked, actually.)<br \/>Not that she doesn&#8217;t run around when appropriate.  When this picture was taken, she had just finished chasing a ball around in the woods.  So fun!  So cute!  But indoors, she&#8217;s more sleepy.  And very quiet.  She only barks when a stranger is trying to come inside by themselves.  (Useful) Or if she&#8217;s tied up outside a grocery store.<br \/>\nIf you look very closely at this photo, you will fail to find evidence of fleas or ticks.  Not only because the resolution isn&#8217;t anywhere near good enough, but because she gets a treatment every month which rids her of pests and protects her against heart worm.<br \/>So, if you, in Edgbaston, East Midlands, England, who has a free room in your flat, were to rent to me, you would have a very cute pet around and a bit of additional security, but with no responsibility.  You could get all the belly rubs you wanted, or let her sleep (she&#8217;s not pushy at all) and never have to pick up after her.  Really, it&#8217;s perfect for you.<br \/>\nDid I mention that she&#8217;s small?<br \/>\n.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }<\/p>\n<div class=\"flickr-frame\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/celesteh\/638365757\/\" title=\"photo sharing\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1235\/638365757_783c6d3da2.jpg\" class=\"flickr-photo lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/celesteh\/638365757\/\">Posing on Pagoda<\/a>, originally uploaded by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/celesteh\/\">celesteh<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Happy Dog, originally uploaded by celesteh.
