My Gracie

This is Gracie Mia Roberts. I got her about three years ago, when she was small enough to fit in my cupped hands. She's the prettiest dog I know. She's also the sweetest. Even when Claire was little and thought that pulling her ears and squeezing her was funny Gracie never snapped or even growled. She has a cold little black nose and the biggest, most intelligent, sparkling black eyes. Her snow white hair is silky (when she's clean...if she's not then she turns a dirty brown color and her hair matts, but we won't talk about that.), and it curls and waves. Her tail is long enough to brush the floor, and makes a swishing noise when she wags it. She loves being outside where she can play with the other dogs and cats. She's very quiet. She never yaps unless she is sure it's a burglar (well, there have been a few false alarms...). She always picks up her ears when I talk. Sometimes I really believe she understands me perfectly. I pat the sofa and she hops onto it, curls up right beside me, and falls asleep. Just like she is doing right now. She's an outstanding dog with the sweetest disposition ever. I love my Gracie-girl.
