So next up is Canela, my chocolate lab. I must admit, this pup is an absolute handful! We got her my freshman year of college, basically I came home to find out we had another dog! Canela, as some Spanish whizzes might know, is Spanish for Cinnamon. The reasoning behind her name is, well, she’s from Mexico! We actually didn’t name her; we adopted her from a family in Hamden, CT whose house and backyard weren’t big enough for the ambitious little pup. They had family south of the border, and when their dogs had puppies they had one of them sent up through customs for their kids as a Christmas present. But, since they’d only had toy poodles in the past, they didn’t realize that labs needed much more room and attention than most dogs, and so a friend of the family who knew them though work set us up with the adoption, and within two days she had become ours. =) Her favorite things to do are to follow you around the house (she is quite loyal), beat up on my other two dogs because she has Napoleon complex as the smallest of the three, and guard the front door and bark as passing people, squirrels, leaves, wind, basically anything. She also likes to pretend like she’s a bad ass, but she’s really just a puppy who has a lot to learn.
