Shakti's first Christmas/Chanukkah

My baby girls first holiday season.  We had a great time celebrating.  She loved the snow.  Got about a foot in a half on Christmas Eve.  She just loved running, and jumping, and rolling, and playing in the snow.

 Looking good in her ugly Christmas sweater.  She actually likes to wear it.  She doesn't fight when putting it on

 Look at what her Aunt/Uncle and Cousin sent.  She loves the tennis ball.   We had dinner at a friends and she was very well behaved.  Couldn't have been happier with her.  No begging, no stealing food, no jumping on people.  She was a real sweetheart. 

 Enjoying a snowy day

 It's tiring having your first puppy Christmas.  Shakti relaxing with her friend Ganesh.  Completely random that they are both named after Hindu Gods/Goddesses

Shakti Baby

Another few weeks of fun.   Shakti has become a regular at doggy day care and even vacationed for a weekend there.  She continues to meet new friends and I am told plays well with all the other dogs.  Here are a few pics from the last few weeks.  I love that they take pics at doggy daycare

 

 

Shakti versus the big red ball.  Looks fun

 What a cute pair these two are. 

 This girl is crazy. 

She has a lot of canine friends, and human ones as well.  She was even invited to Thanksgiving Dinner at a friends house. 

Mischief and Mayhem

Shakti, not sure what to say but unfortunately these photos are pretty incriminating.  Looks like you are guilty of extreme puppy fun, playing hard, and making lots of friends.

 

She's thin, but strong.  51lbs of loveable, huggable, fun

 Way to hold your own baby girl.  Looks like your having fun with dogs of all sizes

 Always on the move, do you ever have all four paws planted firmly?

 These two look like they're modeling with the synchronized pose.  And yes they both could.  What beauties.

 Seriously, that ear.

What a group

Shakti play nice with your friends.

What a flirt.  Look at her checking him out.

Glad you are having fun Shakti and making such great friends. 

another week for Shakti

Here are few highlights from Shakti's week.  She is jumping in with all four paws.  Making friends, running and playing.  Has such a sweet personality and is such a love.

 I love that they take pictures while she is at daycare.  I have no doubt that she loves it.  She never wants to leave.  But, it is still awesome to see her smiling face

 What a great looking group of friends you have there

 Shakti, you need to hold the camera out a little bit further for your selfie.

 Check out that smile. Your right baby girl that is a beautiful dog

Oh my goodness! Shakti!
We are still working on walking nice on the leash, coming when called.  She pretty much has down not jumping on people. 

9mos old now

Another week of fun, and mischief.  Shakti met new friends, explored new areas, worked hard and played hard

 We decided to take advantage of a gorgeous day one afternoon and went exploring on the "Peaks" The changing leaves, the beautiful views, the warm weather, a nice hike, and some quality time together

Having a fun time at camp with her friends.  I'm  told what a social butterfly she is.  Making friends with just about anyone canine or human.  

 Here she is playing with one of her gal pals-Ms.  Ruffles.  I love that she has someone to run with and play hard with. 

This girl is such a sweetheart.  She loves to play and run and jump and chase, but she also loves to come right up to you and get cuddled up, she sometimes just wants to be a lap dog.  And well, I let her,  we all need a hug and to feel loved







So happy you are having fun baby girl.  I love you.

Another puppy vacation

Another puppy vacation and she managed to meet herself a boyfriend.  Tristan is 13 to her 9months, but according to staff at the kennel they did not leave each other's sides.

 

 And not that I can blame her.  He's a good looking guy

 There he is in the photo behind her.  What a hoot they are

 

 And again just running around, playing, laughing together.

 Staff said that she would not go on a walk without him, would wait if he needed to rest, and wanted to be with him at all times

Check out that swagger.  What a flirt.  I see you strutting your stuff.

Happy she had a fun.
