Brit is our noble looking little pup who has become our new best friend. Don't you just love her markings and color?
Brit loves to be outdoors and likes to lie in the sunshine whenever she can. Sometime we think she may be a cat in disguise. She is fascinated by cell phones, so much so that we think she wants her own!
This little dog would make a fox look stupid. She gets us to play "fetch" in a very different way. When she brings the stick, sock, shoe, ball or whaever else is around, she does not just drop it. What she really wants us to do is to chase her, so when we grab for whatever she has in her mouth she dips away to avoid us, then comes back to tease us some more. It is realy funny to watch. If we try to tug on the item she just pulls even harder, which makes it another test of skill. She growls away and almost talks to us. For a little dog, Brit sure is strong.
Brit does not like Zen our old Siamese cat, so the two of them stay clear of each other it seems. Brit likes to try to make Zen crazy by drinking out of Zen's water bowl. Sometimes Zen lashes out at Brit, (not very Zen-like) but the dog is far too fast, fortunately. Zen on the other hand has been known to steal Brit's rawhide bones and hide them. A cat and mouse game of a different sort.
When they are on good terms the puppy and cat rest in the sun together on the warm back patio after breakfast.
