Isis

_

Isis was born somewhere around Bairnsdale, and came from an animal shelter at about three months of age. She is part kelpie and part dingo, and is very much her own character. She is friendly - often far too friendly with her tongue! - and is lively with an amiable nature. She is a tiny dog who believes she fits well on your lap.

Isis burst into the pack here at the beginning of January 2006. Tor accepted her immediately, but the boys took a little longer to win over. Being a very tactile girl, she made her mark right from the start, and it is now normal to see everyone asleep with some part of their body in contact with someone else.

She is capable of sleeping in some very uncomfortable-looking positions. Yes, she really is asleep!

-

In fact, she doesn't seem to mind what position she's in for most activities, as long as she's in the middle of it.

-

She can be quite vocal when she feels that she is not receiving as much attention as is her rightful portion! A multitude of growls and different 'singing' tones tells you she is right there and under no circumstances to be ignored. She also generally talks back when you 'sing' at her.

-

In addition, she is something of a packrat and can often be found carrying her current treasure around hunting for a comfortable spot to lie down and chew it.

She is highly intelligent and hates being in trouble. Consequently, she requires very little dedicated training, as she picks things up almost immediately. Unfortunately her selective deafness prevents a perfect recall on a hot day at the dam.

--

She is everyone's best friend, always up for a full-on play session no matter what time of day or night.

She is, however, also able to relax with the best of them.
