Ariel, the first escapee! Future Houdini?

Yikes, my mantle has spots! Who can resist that face though. Once again I was on the hunt for a mantle and seemed to be a jinx causing everyone to have spots and\or small litters.

The naming theme for the litter was Disney\fairy tales. Ariel’s name just seemed to fit her personality so we stayed with it. Yes, she is a little princess and loves to play in the bath tub. Ariel came to us from RauDanes in Wisconsin.

Ariel July 2005

Ariel playing in the red neck dog wash as we call it. Proving she can hold her ears up when she wants. She’s my little Houdini ears, she can get them undone in amazing time.

Ariel catching some rays and keeping the ball away from big brother.

Ariel’s favorite pillow - Petey. Ariel has become best buddies with Petey who was alone for a year after we lost our dane mix. She definitely has Petey and my husband wrapped around her little dew claw.

The two little angels NOT, relaxing on the bed. This was taken after I fussed at them for being rowdy and tearing up the bed. Amazing how innocent they can look. They do make nice bookends with the opposite marked big black eye, don’t they?

Ariel - November 2004

Nikki was nice enough to stack Ariel for me so I could get some pictures. Ari is a big girl so we’re letting her mature before getting in the ring. As you can see she’s a Momma’s girl that loves to be wherever I am. Otherwise her favorite place is the couch!
