Today is Tango's 3rd birthday, so we're told anyway. She was born on May 5th, and we adopted her the first week of July three years ago. We debated for several days about what to name her; I was voting for either Cinco (since she was born on Cinco de Mayo) or Trixie (a third "T" name because the other dogs are Tandie and Tyson). I was obviously overruled and after a highly scientific search through Webster's dictionary, we came upon "Tango" and knew that it fit her perfectly. Tango is the only dog that I've ever helped to raise from puppyhood to adulthood, so I've got to admit that she's the one I've really bonded with, and (yes) she's my favorite. Three years later, she's an active and beautiful dog and we can't picture life without her (well, sometimes we can...).
She's a scary looking dog to those who don't know her, but in reality she has a gentle and submissive nature. And if you've read any of my previous entries over the past few months, you also know that this dog LIVES to play fetch with a tennis ball. She will do ANYTHING to play ball. She's getting really good at leaping and catching the ball on the fly - good eye!
What a dog. I'm so glad we've got her in our family!

Are her eyes two different colours, or is there something wrong with one eye?
Tango is part German Shepherd and part Siberian Husky. The result is a dog with one blue eye, one brown eye. That's part of the reason we chose her. Tandie, the queen doggie, is part Golden Lab and part Husky, so she also has a blue eye/brown eye. It's a wonderful combination in both of them.
Happy birthday! Tango,from Tokyo.
