Balim barks
Balim http://www.kanyak.com/balim.jpg is an English cocker spaniel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_cocker_spaniel She joined this household just a year ago after being rescued from a pet shop. She was 3-4 months old at the time. Balim (it means "My Honey" in Turkish) does not bark. As a rule that is. If Something Extremely Important comes up she will deign to "yip", thereby signifying the importance thereof. This evening my wife was outside in the yard when a sudden violent storm blew up. Impulsively she began collecting things to protect them. Among these things were a number of wind roses that are set on stakes here and there around the yard. Having gathered up a bunch she headed inside; except to notice that Balim was sitting on something white in the grass and *barking*. This was rather more than a "yip". My wife went to investigate and found beneath Balim a part of one of the wind roses that the wind had apparently blown off. My wife rewarded Balim for her good behavior, picked up the part, and brought it into the house. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

I guess she did her share of saving one of the wind roses from blowing away. Nice work! My neice has two English Cocker Spaniels. We receive a Christmas card each year with their photo on it. |
