lol, gayle. lilly is the first rescue i have ever kept. initially, all i could see were the differences between her and my "show dogs". now i see the inherent similarities which are the basis of this wonderful breed. as each dog does, she's taught me so much. it's a real eye-opener to watch a dog go from "don't touch me" to become one who groans during ear rubs! diane Diane Silver-Strasser Silstra German Shepherds _http://skatiebugz.blogspot.com In a message dated 7/25/2009 8:48:29 A.M.

The first thing she did every morning while I got ready to go to work was "make the bed" - ie - push all the pillows on the floor then she'd nap on the bed. I never could figure out why she didn't like pillows.
