Topping out at 36 pounds, Smooch is a lean machine. She climbs and jumps with the agility of a Border Collie...

Good dog. She appears larger in pictures than she is. 36 pounds isn't very large. But her personality is huge.
ReplyDeleteYay Smooch! Great photo essay :)
ReplyDeleteHa! All that work and she doesn't want her tiny, furry snack. My dogs are the same way when the cat brings up a sacrificial offering. "Wow, snacks! Eeeww, it's furry!"
ReplyDeleteGreat photo essay.
I love Smooch and your explanation of her 'breed'. I was amazed that she isn't larger then you say ... she sure looks large/tall in her pictures ... I imagined her at least 50-60 lbs.
ReplyDeleteSo you couldn't have many dogs so you got a few dozen in one package. Smooch RULES! (Oscar and Lucy, my Fox Terriers, say so.)
ReplyDeleteand shes just adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I am enjoying your blog very much.
ReplyDeleteCute dog with obviously a lot of personality. We had a dog at one time that people would ask what breed he was and we'd say muttski
ReplyDeleteMiz Smooch is a dog with personality plus. I'm sure she keeps you entertained all day and she's such a sweetheart too.
ReplyDeleteI always thought Smooch was a boy. Sorry Smooch!! With all those amazing attributes, I should have known you were a girl! ;o)
ReplyDeleteGreat series of pictures. Smooch has a lot of focus and concentration also.
ReplyDeleteIs she a silent hunter? I would add Basenji to the list of ancestors!

Smooch is such a doll!
ReplyDeleteSmooch - she must have some real kissy breed in her ancestry, too.
ReplyDeleteCowboy thinks she's lovely and would like to meet her!!! Great post! Everyone loves Smooch!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great build-up to the climax in the photo essay. Bertie (all four and a half pounds) sends his greetings from the High Plains of New Mexico.
ReplyDeleteMy yellow lab catches mice and moles! Too funny! Took a bit of a boggy break glad to be back!
ReplyDeleteWow I love your photos. The Horse Roll had me laughing out loud and these sweet pictures are incredible.
ReplyDeletedidn't realize she was so small. yes, as someone said, she does have a big personality! My Bali (whom she has an incredible resemblance to) was 70 pounds......
