Sheba, as you know, looks ferocious. She also barks loudly at strangers, particularly when they are men, she leaps tall fences effortlessly, and she has been known to take apart squirrels with a single toss of her mighty head. When playing "stick", Sheba adapts whatever long, thin thing in the environment comes closest to looking like a regular stick and she seems so well to understand the concepts of torque and balance that she can convert a 12-foot long anything into her notion of something to be thrown by my husband.
Then, about dark, Sheba undergoes a personality transformation. Around the time my husband finishes dinner (or perhaps a little before), Sheba becomes a 56-lb. lap dog, jumping onto his lap, nuzzling and cuddling into his chest and converting a fairly stoic, unemotional man into a giggling, helpless fella. Without a doubt, Sheba's in our family to stay. Keep well. Melinda D.
