Carmel

This is Carmel. The first time we brought her home she was very skittish and only bonded with Melinda. She bit me and pooped on my shoes. One of the first things that was very noticeable was that she forgot who you were if you showered. It took awhile for her to recognize Melinda out of the shower with a towel on her head. She is special. Took even longer to like me.

That being said - almost 2 years later - we don't have that problem. Well - not coming out of the shower anymore, but she didn't recognize me with my new winter coat - barked at me when I put the hood up.

Everyone that knows me or Melinda knows about Carmel and how special she is. She is so strange it makes her adorable. Tonight was no exception. I have been suffering with allergies and after almost a week I don't have much of a voice - laryngitis is setting in quickly. And yes - you guessed it - she won't come near me. She ran from the room when I greeted them tonight. Tail wagging until I said hello. As long as I don't talk to her I'm okay. I suppose that's good since I should be resting my voice, but it's been fun to watch her reaction. Growling and tail wagging. It's like one end doesn't know what the other end is doing.

Gotta love her.
