Favorites on Friday

I decided to do a regular Friday posting titled "favorites on friday" or Friday favorites however it ends up :) Well I was going to start with my favorite Christmas decoration, well if you read my previous post you know my tree isn't up and that's where I want to take the picture of my favorite little guy. So we will go with my favorite breed of dog this week and she is also the only animal in the house who isn't irritating me!!

My favorite breed of doggies are American Eskimos, aka eskies. The first one I had the pleasure of having in my life was when I was in elementary school. She followed my cousins home and long story short she ended up living at our house, she let me put my doll clothes on her and she was very attached to my Daddy. Her name was Candy and she passed away in 1990 when Todd and I were living in Florida.

I had always wanted another eskie, so in June of 2000 I put a deposit on this sweet little girl who loved to lay on top of Hannah's kennel and look out the window. Her name was Jasmine and she was my baby girl, when I was sick or upset she never left my side, but that was the only time she was really willing to cuddle. She was attacked by a neighbors shar pei, and was never the same after that. She started to become very aggressive toward Hannah and the cats, then she decided it was ok to bite me. I talked to trainers and rescue groups and at the time didn't have any other option and we had to have my precious baby girl put to sleep.



Needless to say I am meant to have an eskie in my life. This is my sweet Lily Belle. I got her in May of 2006 and she is truly my heart dog. She is cuddly all the time and very loving and just a true gift. I can't imagine life without her.

I love the white fluff, even when it is all over my clothes and floor, I love the eskie smile, I love that they love snow just as much as I do, and I love the way their tails curl over their backs, and I love how sweet they are!!!
