Olive Oyl - Retired

Olive year and a half old.

Olive, my shadow dancer - always near or by me.  She has a joyful prance that is delightful to watch.  Her happy spirit keeps her curly tail very busy.  Olive's goal in life is to please me.  Sometimes, I think she is part cat as she loves to rub and wrap herself around my legs trying very hard to keep the other dogs away so that I can only pat her.  Naturally, I make her wait as I pay attention to the rest of my crew; much to her annoyance. 

Olive adores watching t.v. and is quite hysterical when interacting with pet commercials.  I even had to put her in another room, watching a DIFFERENT t.v. when the Westminister show was on, as she could not stop herself from 'mingling' with all those dogs!!!

Olive about 4 years old, ungroomed.

Olive at 5 weeks.  

Olive wants to get to know strangers by back tracking a bit and sniffing your hand on her terms and I respect that.  Be patient and she will be in your lap showering you with hugs and kisses.

A conversation with Olive is very engaging as she intently stares at you as if every word is so important.  Her beautiful cocoa brown eyes twinkle mischieviously when she manages to climb onto your lap without permission and her soft, flowing coat is so easy to manage and care for.



Olive is the whole package - beauty, intelligence, carefree, silly and intuitive.  Generally, her puppies are soft natured and make the most wonderful, gentle companions. 



The 5 week baby pic on the left, shows at such an early age, how compliant Olive was even then.  She is the same today.  No need to ever raise your voice at Olive as just a look tells her you are not happy and her heart is broken.
