Dogs

So tonight as I was looking at some videos to help me understand Peggy a little better I watched some clips of Regina George in mean girls (a bully) and some clips of the sisters in the fighter and while watching them they reminded me of barking dogs, and barking dogs led me to dogs which reminded me of the constant motif of dogs in our play here. So I realized that Peggy was a yappy little dog. After a bit of research I think that she is a Pomeranian.  Here is what the American Kennel Club has to say about them:

but the most important things that I got from their description of their personality is that they are:

§  cocky,

§  animated

§  extroverted personality.

§   This compact little dog is an active toy breed

§  alert character and fox-like expression.

§  very intelligent dogs that love to please.

§   Because of their outgoing temperaments, they can be very good family dogs with the right training.

§  needs attention from their people frequently.

§  They possess a thick double coat, which needs to be brushed on a regular basis.(big hair :D)

§  Swish hips when they walk

§  yelps under distress or worry 

§  vocal 

*not good with children, not rough and tumble

*good to cuddle, likes to be held

I thought this might help you guys to understand what it must've been like living with Peg all these years.

Hopefully it triggers some things about our dynamic as a family too!
