Happy birthday to DAISY (aka "Little Tess")

This is Daisy.
Daisy turned 2 on Wednesday and had a grand time playing with her new birthday toy, a blue and green ("her" colors) Frisbee at the dog park on her special day.
We're not real sure what kind of dog Daisy is, but conventional wisdom has it that when she was found as just a puppy, she was on her way to growing up to be a border collie.
Then her short, shaggy little legs simply stopped growing.
But how cute is she??
Daisy belongs to our local dog sitter, Nikki, and has become something of a mascot at the local dog park.
Everybody loves Daisy.
I think she looks like a "little" Tess to me (although Tess also has been called Big Daisy).
So, though this be a bit belated, a very happy birthday to one of our favorite dog park munchkins, DAISY.




Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
