now meet Phoebe

Phoebe is the Alpha dog in our house. She doesn't like cameras either, but isn't as bad as Lucy. And she is really photogenic, except for when I need to use the flash. She has blue eyes and they look really strange if the flash is on.

She also likes to chew on things. ANYTHING. Bones, birds, bamboo.

She likes her paws and gives herself hotspots. Thus, the cone of shame. She looks happy though, doesn't she?

Taking a rest.

She loves to give kisses. She loves to give kisses. She loves to give kisses.

Phoebe is such a sweet dog, but she is certainly in charge. She calls the shots and will sometimes position herself in front of Lucy. It is quite comical.

She is a picky eater and has a sensitive stomach. She howls at fire trucks and sirens, and Lucy tries to sing along. She is stealthy and will attack the small animals in our yard and has caught several unlucky birds and squirrels. She loves to ride in the car and get so excited if you start to take off her collar (with our invisible fence, if the collar comes off, the dogs know they are going for a ride.) She does a dance.

That's our Phoebe.
