Lady, Companion to All Things Germany




The scene above is what went down after Jogi Low's team sent Argentina packing after a 4-0 defeat. I wonder if Diego took a stash of salads and soft serve before leaving the hotel? Yes, she does have a frisbee in her mouth while heading the Adidas Jubulani ball. I did not pay for that ball but I will turn the other cheek as to how she got that. Anyways, Saturday was a huge day for my furry comrade.

It started with a tradition German breakfast (rolls, butter, jam, ham, and coffee) mixed with Hills Science Diet Lamb and Rice meal. It took a whole two minutes for all to be consumed. After the usual morning walk it was time for the game.

She hadn't been the same in the days leading up to the game; problems barking at small children wearing light blue and white, running the opposite direction when hearing tango music, and chewing on an Oasis CD which I thought was interesting since that is Lionel Messi's favorite group. She continued her nervous behavior until 3 minutes into the match when Thomas Muller nodded home the opening goal for Germany. Belly scratches and stair runs ensued.

Twenty minutes into the second half she knew it was over when Muller, Podolski, and Klose hooked up for Klose's tap in. When the third went in Lady began to roll over and over and over again knocking over coffee cups and steins. Chants of "Go Start the Bus" were ringing throughout my place. The pinnacle point of the match for her was Klose scoring his second and trailing Ronaldo by one goal for first all time for goals scored in World Cups. I can't count on two hands how many "Two games/goals Klose to history" catch phrases were being tossed out that day.

The picture above was about an hour after the game. She is honing her skills to be like her hero's. This went on for about 10 minutes...and celebrations carried on throughout the day and bowls of Spaten were being lapped up by the six pack.
