Angel (Turbo Angel 07-455) [1]

Turbo/Angel is not quite turbocharged but she is an Angel! She is the sweetest, gentlest golden I've ever met. When we got home I had to give her a bath and she's the only dog I've ever had who absolutely loved it! She even let me clean her ears which sends most dogs into a head-shaking tizzy...but not Angel. She just waited patiently until I was done and then gave me a polite "thank you" smile. Even though Angel has only been here for two days, she follows me around the house and nuzzles me for pets like we're old friends. She also gets along really well with the other dogs (all four!) and we're slowly introducing her to the cats. But Angel is most fascinated by our four-year-old daughter, Abigail. Apparently she was never around young children before and, much to my surprise, Angel seems to think that Abigail is a puppy! She started licking Abigail from head to toe which resulted in a major giggle fest for both dog and child!

We're off to the vet in a few days for a check-up. Angel has a spot on one ankle that is irritated from licking. We were told that she does that when she's nervous, but I haven't seen her do it since she's been here...a very good sign!
