Some might want a dog to guard their property, others want one to collect shot birds, some want a companion, even collect the newspaper each day and, judging by the number of people that have stopped and talked to me while I'm walking G, meet new people.
Mine is insurance in case I go blind. A bit like practising writing with one's left hand in case one breaks one's right one (interesting you are more likely to break your weaker arm because we naturally put out our weaker hand to stop our fall so if it breaks it isn't as bad, meaning that if you become more dexterus with your weaker hand you are more likely to break the stronger one. So totally pointless really).

Only joking. What I want her to do is run with me and do other such active things. Things like sky diving, skiing (definitely watch that one), climbing, base jumping, swimming with dolphins, skateboarding, gymnastics, yoga and parkour(and here). Or a more realistic list of running, cycling, canoeing, trail running, shooting, golf, camping and pretend solders.
Whereas Sophie's list would more likely consist of shopping, looking cute, sitting outside cafés together, picnics and being quite when she paints.
As that our options for things to do are greatly increased with a car one of our priorities is to get G used to the car. To this end we drove with her to the grand parc de miribel jondage and had a picnic there. We also took her into the lake and got her to swim her about. She could not have been more amazing. We even got her to sit and eat a chicken we were eating.
A lot of these things I have to wait until she has finished growing to do.
But below is a link to the facebook album of her. Anybody should be able to see it. And the picture in the article is from our walk this morning where we took in two food markets, a trip on the tram, coffee, patisserie and specaloo at a café and loads of other dogs.
