The good: This dog is so so sweet. She is mostly very calm, loves to be petted and cuddled. She thinks she's a lap dog, which I love (but some may not appreciate). She does not jump on people and rarely barks. She also gets "the zooms" and runs around the back yard like a super beast, and loves to chase/fetch tennis balls. She gets along with dogs, too. The boys and I have been wanting a dog for a while, and I think we picked the right girl for our family. If you like dogs at all, you can't help but like her.

The bad:
Not much bad here. She has to learn not to go on the couch. She sheds a bit. She snores. She also does not chew her food. She inhales it and then chokes. She was a stray, so I'm guessing that she has to learn that she will always have food here before she slows down. She is a puppy so she tends to chew stuffed animals if she can get them. As a result, our floor is finally free of stuffed animals. Yay! She also chewed a couple teethmarks in Max's DSi. Yep, a lot less toys laying out around the Lueck house.

The ugly: Well, she does have a look. If you look at her from the side, she looks pretty normal. But straight on, and you get the super bulgy eyes, one looking a bit off to the side. She also has an underbite. A neighbor boy said, (in a cutesy voice), "Oh, you're so cute. What chubby eyes you have." I love that! I've been showing her picture to my students, and I've noticed that the younger the student, the cuter they think she is. Older students and adults don't always think she's so cute. In fact, Danny says she's the ugliest dog he's ever seen.
She's definitely found her way into my heart, and I'm so glad to have her.

As a dog-lover, I love her already.
Well, and her being a Lueck, means I love her A LOT!!!
By the way, Laura (my daughter) put a link to your blog on her blog. She meant to link that post on school, but it goes straight to the top of the blog... with your sweet dog. Anyway, she said she's read that post of yours a lot this week. Here's her current blog post's1 address: http://maxwellartroom.wordpress.com/2012/09/09/less-talking-more-art/
Cute! I love dogs. And I updated my link so that it goes to the right post, though your Riley post is great too. Thanks for your comments! I'm praying for your upcoming week :).
