wife. her friendly lick on my leg in the morning is a great start to my day. and her leaps of excitement when i get out her harness so she can work just give me a warm inner glow.
but why is her name so important? “what’s your dog’s name?” is the most common question i am ever asked.
my standard answer is – “i don’t use her name unless i’m giving her a command”. i answer this way both because it is true (she responds very well to her name and i don’t want to lose that), and because if i tell people her name it will encourage them to pat
