For those of you who have not yet met Tache, here she is. Our BIG 3 year old baby, a Deutsch Drahthaar that looks more like an old harry man (notice the unibrow and beard) then a nice fluffy dog, but we love her anyways. The attached photo was taken in our backyard last summer, while she was playing with one of her many balls, which is so typical of Tache. She's actually an amazingly smart dog and fun to have around... but she's spoiled. Basically, she thinks she's the center of our universe.

So you can only imagine the chock Tache will go through in a few months. JM describes Tache as a dog with determined charater... Chris says is simply intense. When she wants attention, it's always intense cuddling; When she chews her bone, she chews it until there's nothing left - intense; When she misses JM, she whines INTENSLY in the closet; When she wants to go out, it's an intense alarm; When she plays, it's forever intense. Although she rarely barks, she does have this intense desire to meet and lick everyone. She adores kids... but intensly of course. This is a photo of Paul, our godchild, and Tache cuddling... but Tache's intention are clearly to wait for Paul to drop the cookie. The next photo is Tache intensly chewing her bone ON Norm, Chris' father, so she can get some cuddling in at the same time. Norm doesn't seem to mind. ;) And finally, Tache ON Chris and JM (who were trying to cuddle
Donc Tache vivra une expérience traumatisante avec l'arrivé d'un AUTRE "bébé". Mais un bébé qui prends beaucoup plus d'attention qu'elle. Et elle ne s'adapte pas si bien au changement; quand Jean-Michel a installé les plancher en bois-franc dans notre maison... elle s'est sauvé. Quand on l'a laissé chez une gardienne de chien incroyablement gentille (qui l'a aussi gâté) pour les vacances de Noël... elle s'est sauvé.
So Tache will experience a traumatizing chock... ANOTHER "baby". But a baby which will take much more attention than her. And she's not so good at adapting to change; when JM installed hardwood floors in our house... she ran away. When we left her with an amazingly nice doggy-sitter

Donc il va falloir vraiment faire attention avec Tache pour qu'elle puisse bien s'ajuster. On aura surement des histoires intéressantes à vous raconter...
So we'll have to really be careful with Tache, so she can adjust well. We will surely have interesting stories to share with you...
xox ;)
