Lakota

No painting to post today, just a couple of photos of my beautiful Lakota, an Australian Shepherd mix we "rescued" from the Humane Society in 2004. Actually there are days I feel she "rescued" me.

We really don't know what the breed mix is for Lakota. The vet thinks she might have one of the smaller spitz breeds involved as well, since she's not as large as the usual Aussie. Her coat is soft, and her tail tends to curl up over her backside (hence the question of the spitz involvement). Whatever the mix, she's beautiful ... inside and out ... my sweet furry companion and a total delight.

Two years ago, Lakota began to have seizures. So far she's handling them alright. She seems to rebound well each time, and the condition doesn't seem to have caused any real deficit for her. She's energetic and healthy. Just needs a bit of extra loving every so often.
