A well bred canine on her queen sized bed

Call it an academic debate if you will, but my parents and I have often wondered if Lyka was a pure lab. After she grew to her full size, Lyka was still shorter than several labs around the block and had much sharper features that we had expected her to. Most labs are pug nosed but Lyka had a full snout, not shortened by her genes. And a subject that was a particular favorite of ours - her sharp ears. We liked to believe that Lyka often bore resemblance to a rabbit, especially when she would be fast asleep on her custom made bed. Her ears would be be pointed outwards, in sharp relief to the rest of her.

Lyka could often be found lying on her back, lost in dreamworld, with her paws sticking up into the air. Given a choice to sleep in my parents' room with the a/c on and her bed, Lyka would inevitably chose her bed. And we recently discovered why the choice was obvious, given that we live in Madras, which only has one kind of weather and Lyka had the small problem of being saddled with a fur coat all year round. My parents got Lyka's bed refurbished about a month back, and we've kept her old mattress, as extra seating in our house. You can sink into that bed and never want to get up. That's why till the very end, Lyka always preferred to sleep on her bed.

Our doggy deserved nothing but the best.
