Finding the humor in my life's experiences.What I Hope My Daughter Learns About Marriage From Our Dogs

Our dogs, Pasha and Coco, are as different as day and night. Pasha was bred by a woman who regularly sends her dogs to the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. Coco was a back yard accident.
True to her breding, Pasha's face is absolutely beautiful. My husband says if we actually paid someone to groom her rather than doing it ourselves, she could be our little star-- appearing on dog food cans everywhere. Coco's face may not have prize potential, but to me-- her mom--it has a sweetness that I find irresistable.
If I didn't know better, I would swear they were aware of the "status" their respective gene pools afforded them. I say this because because "Princess" Pasha could not be more of a spoiled priss pot. She thinks she is a cat, who is lovable on her terms. You can count on her to put on airs for guests that visit, but as soon as they are gone, she lets you know who is boss. Coco on the other hand is as humble as her beginings and could not be more compliant with whatever you feel like doing with her. Snuggling with that little ball of fur is one of the highlights of my everyday.
If placed in a lineup for would be pet owners to pick from, I have no doubt Pasha would reign supreme. Coco may get a few second looks, but in the end Pasha would end up with the new home.
How sad, they most things in life are judged by a "cover" and not by the heart. I only hope that when the time comes to pick a marriage mate, my daughter thinks of Coco. What joy and happiness a less than perfect creature brought to our lives. Beauty is only skin deep.
