Classic Tica
Tuesday, April 04, 2006

We have had Tica for just over 6 months now, and have had a fun time getting to know her. The last couple of months, she has really flourished and her true personality has come out. She is so different from Gibson in the oddest ways. She loves to cuddle, yet she is so stiff that she is not cuddly. She is constantly banging her head into things and doesn't know her own strength. (It only took 14 head-butts before I learned my lesson. I swear I'm going to lose a tooth someday.) She is persistent. If there is a toy out of her reach she will push her way through to get it. Gibson will sit and whine until you get it for him. She has abundant amounts of energy. She loves to whirl in circles around the back yard goading Gibson to chase her. At top speed she will whiz past him so fast that the air tunnel she creates blows his ears up into the air. Then she'll come to a dead stop in front of him, stare at him, lick his face in a tease, and then charge off again, looking over her shoulder to see if he took the bait. It is quite fun to watch. She is obviously the stronger of the two, yet she plays docile to Gibson's top dog status. He will playfully paw her, lick her face, and chew on her to assert dominance, and she will roll on her back and let him. Her newest quirk is her love of the hose. She chases the stream of water, trying to grab it with her mouth, only to get sopping wet every time.

She is so pretty, and she sounds like a lot of fun! I hope Gibson likes having a playmate!
