  Evita's family: Nancy and Dick           printable version                    
   



 



 





 



 





 



"Is the wine satisfactory, Mademoiselle?"

Obviously not.



 

 

 




 

 

 






 

  Age: 6
Weight: 60 lbs.
Sex: female
Residence: Saline, Michigan
Significance of name: She was already named when we got her from the breeder at
1 year of age.  Her full name is Clussex Eva Peron of Avalea.
Favorite place to walk: Millpond Park in Saline
IQ: 115; she has terrific comprehension.  She watches television and is very
interested in dogs and other animals.  She once had a run-in with a border
collie, and when she sees one on TV, she gets very agitated.  She also growls
and barks when something bad is happening -- when a violent act is taking place
or if a villain is on the screen. 
Favorite toy: She doesn't play as such, but one day she became very attached to
a paint roller, of all things. She grabbed it and then whimpered pathetically
when we took it away.  She was inconsolable for about a day.  We think that,
because it's soft outside and hard inside, it might have reminded her of a bird.
Favorite people food: rice with cottage cheese
Favorite thing to chew: sterilized cow bones
Temperament/personality:
laid back, calm, and stable.  She's somewhat somnolent -- people think she's
frowning, but we think she's thoughtful.  She likes children but can be
standoffish with adults.  For reasons we know not, she always barks at one
particular pair of friends.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how obedient is she?: 4.  She doesn't know a lot of
commands, but if I say "go find Dick," she'll do it.
Best trick: not a trick so much as an involuntary reaction to the smell of
liquor or lemon juice.  She wrinkles up her nose and makes a face (see bottom
photos).  She could be a poster dog for Alcoholics Anonymous.
Cutest thing Evita does: when she sits up very alertly with her front paws
crossed.
One of the most endearing things about Evita is: when she runs about madly.  She
normally doesn't do that, and it's kind of touching to see.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how human is she?: 6. She's like a very sleepy person;
she looks at you with great perplexity if you bother her when she's sleepy. 
Evita's favorite dog: When we lived in Bloomington, Indiana, she liked a tiny
Yorkshire terrier -- she seems taken with very small dogs.  She is suspicious of
dogs that aren't fluffy or furry.
Memorable moment: One day, soon after we got her, I'd showered (my smell must
have been washed off), and she barked and growled at me. (I had on a robe and my
hair was pulled back in a towel.)  But within a minute, she picked up my shirt
in her teeth and brought it to me, as though she were trying to apologize.  Or,
I suppose, it's possible she was thinking "Here, put this on. That robe is
awful."
Comment: She inspires me occasionally to compose doggerel (no pun intended) -- 
I find myself reciting little poems about her.  They have nonsense words, sort
of like baby talk.  I think she likes them, though, and I guess they express my
affection.  Some examples are:  "Evita Maureen,  the Queen of Saline," and
"She's furry and soft and lives in a loft," and "Evita is sweet and has very
small feet" (which she doesn't, by the way).
