Bestyears, she definitely resembles a Tibetan Spaniel. Tibbies are usually quiet, mellow dogs. They were originally lapdogs of the monks in Tibet, so one can’t really imagine them breeding hyper, yippy dogs (LOL)!. They also would walk the walls of the monasteries, sounding the ”alarm” when visitors were sighted approaching. They were not sold, and only occasionaly gifted to someone outside the monasteries. So, until China invaded Tibet, Tibbies were relatively unheard of. These days, they pretty much still are. They are much more interested in interacting with humans than with other dogs. Dog parks to play with other dogs? Uh, no! They usually just walk away from interactions, ignoring the potential new friend! Tibbies shed a lot. But, they’re also basically a wash-and-wear pooch. They don’t need monthly trips to the groomer, just a bath in your sink or tub and rubbed dry. They do need their nails trimmed regularly, though, as well as weekly brushing. Sasha and India are our second and third Tibbies. India (under another name back then) was actually the top Tibetan Spaniel in the US for about five or so years. She has 125 best-in-show and first place ribbons. Her breeder, a family friend, gave her to us after she stopped showing her. Sasha’s son is now a top Tibbie, as well. But, to us they’re just our ”kids”, much loved, and part of our family. As you can probably tell, I love this breed! India:

great idea a toast to solstice, it soothes my inner mammel when I know that we passed it and that the days will grow longer and the sun is indeed coming back ... today it is sunny and weirdly mild, makes you think of the coming garden season. @getgoing100_7b_nj what lovely orchids and the Schlumbergia (?) Christmas cactus is nice. I used to keep some as a kid but lost them somehow when moving out enjoy your holidays, bye, Lin
