I worked hard for Aurora. Very hard. She was given to me by a previous boss at Cascade Pizza (also known by it's staff as Cascade Penitentiary). I slaved away for three years to earn the best bonus of my life. She was the first pup to be picked out of the litter, so I marked her with a bow. If any of you have ever dealt with puppies then you probably already know what happened next: her brothers and sisters constantly yanked her bow right off. I had to re-identify her as my pup on several different occasions. For me this wasn't a hard task. My boss was frequently astonished by how quickly I depicted her from the others. She had a routine that stood out to me. Each of her brothers and sisters actively played rough with each other, nagged at the mama for milk, or pulled at the cuffs of people's pants and socks. Aurora was different though. She would lay off to the side of the group in such a way that she could observe all the other puppies and all the people in the room. Each time someone new entered the room she would get up, co
mplete a circle around their feet as though she was inspecting them, and then return to her designated spot to continue observing the activity. I knew right away that she would be the one to protect me.

That's so cute! How many were in her litter including her?
ReplyDeleteGerman Shepherds are the best!
ReplyDeleteI had one and my sister had one as a kid.
They are awesome pets especially when they are puppies.
