Oaf

Behold Daisy: large, clumsy, goofy. The encroaching grey on her face reveals her age but contradicts her youthful spirit. She has a substantial tail that knocks things over. Rescued as a 4 1/2 pound, wretchedly ill puppy, she still believes that she is small and dainty, and will try to climb her 60-plus pound self into someone's lap to sit. She sleeps upside-down on the couch, legs all akimbo and poking into the air like twigs on a forest floor. If you throw a tennis ball for her, she is Your Friend For Life. Good dog, Daisy.
