Tetley is a major part of our family, from snuggling on the bed to romping around in the backyard. Last summer she was swimming in the pool with us. Tetley is almost human at least the kids think so anyway. Tetley is involved in family life from morning till night. Waking up the children, chasing the squirrels in the backyard first thing in the morning, seeing them off to school and waiting until they return. Coming home after a day at work is a pleasure. Tetley greets me at the door and of coarse we have to have our 5 minutes of kisses and cuddling. Tetley is a very intelligent pet, she has been extremely easy to train and listens very well. She has her moments when she has her mad half hour of running up and down the stairs etc. Tetley is quite protective of the children. She greets all the children in the neighborhood when they come to the door by wagging her tail. They all love her. Tetley usually sleeps upstairs in one of the bedrooms however she snores very loud so at times we have to put her in her kennel. Tetley is very special and really is a joy. Tetley's hips have passed OVC certification.
