Diniyoyo Glam Shots

This is Diniyoyo, my blog's namesake. She's from a breeder in MA, who swore up and down that English Setters were not one-person dogs. I just think she forgot to tell Dini.
I've pretty much spoiled her rotten. We got her when she was a year and a half and had been returned by the first buyer. I think that buyer might have mistreated her because she is afraid of men and very skittish if someone starts to take off their belt. She's sweet but ditzy and skittish.

She likes to curl her lip up and do Elvis impressions. Her cheeks are immensely kissable and her fur feels like an angora rabbit's coat. She likes to rest her head on my thigh when I sit down. When it comes to the children, she's very tolerant but sees them as residing somewhere beneath her in the heirarchy. This makes it acceptable to cozy up to them when they are eating and if they should perchance glance away for a second, to snatch their food.
She's quite fond of stalking squirrels and gets very put out if you try to distract her when she's intent on this business. She's a great snuggler, my mood enhancing drug of choice, intensely loyal, and quite forgiving.
She attempts to help with household chores, but, alas, her inability to pass up a good sleeping spot gets in the way. She is also not adverse to commandeering Sadie's crib if her other preferred napping spots are not available.
Diniyoyo, Sweet and Simple.
