Harley has always loved going for rides. She is very aware of her surroundings and likes checking everything out. Harley knows when to hold on (for instance, if we are turning, or slowing down, etc.). She is a very skilled passenger.
Christmas & Birthdays
Harley loves presents. She loves to open her presents herself. I like this trait about Harley because my first dog, Tammy, used to like to open her presents too.
Toys
Harley has way too many toys. I named each one, and believe it or not, Harley knows what the names are. If I asked her to get "Teddy (Teddy is long gone now)," she would get Teddy. If I told her to get "baby socks," she would get baby socks. Harley is very smart. I know that a lot of studies say that dogs don't know words, but I don't believe that. Here's another instance where my mom thought I was crazy until she witnessed it for herself.
Harley eats all of the stuffing out of her animals, which makes them very ragged.
Daisy
Even though we were concerned that Harley wouldn't like my mom's new puppy, Daisy, she really does love her. When they first named Daisy, my dad said, "Harley, please don't eat the Daisy!" LOL Harley and Daisy act like most siblings....they have a love/hate relationship. Daisy knows when to back off when Harley is really serious about not coming near me or whatever her issue of the day may be.
On the other hand, I have witnessed them snuggling up together or licking each other, which is so cute!
If one has to go to the Vet without the other, oh boy! They cry and cry. They do not like to be left alone.
Frosty Paws
Frosty Paws are frozen ice cream treats for dogs. They are $4.00 for a box of 4 and Harley just loves them. When I come home from the store, she will rummage through my bags in search of some Frosty Paws. She doesn't care if it's the middle of winter either. Harley loves her Frosty Paws and I spoil her rotten by getting them way too often.
Water Sprinklers
As annoying as Harley's barking can be when the sprinkler is out, it is also hillarious to watch her. She has a good ole time running through the sprinkler and biting the water. One time, the sprinkler system accidentally went off at 5:00 a.m. and one of the neighbors was taking out her garbage and witnessed Harley having fun in the sprinkler. She wasn't mad, fortunately. She wanted to tell me that it was the funniest thing she ever saw.
Snow
Harley loves to run and play in the snow. She's my little snow bunny! It's fun to watch her run around like a nut!
Kitties
Ever since we lived at the cottage, Harley has loved kitties. There were a lot of wild cats and Harley tried to play with them. Since Harley was on a leash, she didn't have much of an opportunity, but she tried. She particularly liked this one that I named Samantha. Samantha thought Harley wanted to eat with her, but Harley thought she was a toy!
The Screen House
On nice summer nights, Harley enjoys sitting out in the open screen house with me. Sometimes she will even jump up and sit next to me on the wicker couch. She likes to look for kitties in the yard. One particular cat from the farm behind us is named Patches and Harley likes to keep an eye out for her.
Sydney & Sam
Sydney & Sam are my niece and nephew and just a couple of kids that Harley really loves. Harley only likes kids if she has known them since they were babies, which is one of her really quirky ways.
Chai Tea
If I come home with a Starbucks Chai Tea, I better save some for Harley. She will actually point to it to tell me that she wants some.
Her Mom
Harley is a mommy's girl. She gets separation anxiety when I leave her. And, if I bring the suitcase out, she gets quite upset. She holds a grudge for about a week after I return from a trip.
Harley likes to lean against me when we're sleeping. She's such a good snuggle-bunny. The best is when Harley knows that I'm not feeling well. She's always there, but she doesn't bother me.
Birds
The strangest thing ever is when Harley barks up towards the sky when a bird flies by. This is something that she started doing as she got older. I know that she's a hearding dog, but she should really try to heard animals that are on the ground.
