Christmas Pup!
Suprised Leslie with a christmas pup! We are both delighted and Leslie christened her “Pasha”, which means “Turkish, high-ranking, military official”. We realize it is kind of a masculine name, but she doesn’t care, and I always liked that anyway. Dad reminded me there was an ancestral “Roodle” way back in the family named Pasha, so it’s kind of a family name, so to speak. She is whip smart, very loving, very playful and all the things a pup should be. Her leash training is coming along, so is the house-breaking, with a few snags here and there with regards to each. She went to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings X-mas party, where she rubbed noses with Nashvilles best and brightest, and sat on Emmylou Harris’ lap.
Emmylou said: “She looks like Bonaparte”; which was her old poodle-mix. All and all, I’m thrilled, but it definitely makes me want to stay closer to home, or to go places where they allow dogs because she hates to be left alone.
