Flashy is my perpetual puppy. Her face is still that of a baby, and she weighs only 72 pounds. I think for the rest of her life she's going to look six months old. So much for the show ring!

She may or may not make it into obedience. She has that hereditary bugaboo: elbow dysplasia (UCP). We'll see how she does.

In the meantime, she keeps us all laughing. She follows me around the house, never letting me out of her sight. She is the sweetest girl in the world.
