OMG - I have a tail!

Shelly discovered her tail last night and wouldn't stop trying to catch it, with varying degrees of success.

My Duck!

Gave Shelly a de-stuffed squeeky duck and she really enjoys playing tug with it, fetching it, chewing it and also hiding it in various places around the house and outside!

This was just too cute of  picture not to share!

Debating whether or not she should jump up and get it

Mine mine mine!

Farwell Fuzzy Pink Toy!

Shelly had fun this morning attacking a pink fuzzy toy... got the squeeker out and chewed it until it didn't work anymore, spread the fuzzy insides out all over the place and just all around attacked it until it was empty and no more fun... Then she took a nap... All that work was exausting! 

it's almost as big as her!


yeah, i did it!

Bath Day!

Cassie took her to the park today and she played with a little dog, tried to chase some birds and was curious about the water. I really think she will be a little swimmer.

Finally, Shelly's 10 days are up from her spay so she got to take a bath!  Again, happy to be in.  Didn't really enjoy the puppy shampoo, but just enjoyed the water and did figure out how to sit in the tub.  Now she's all soft and sweet smelling.. Nice too to have a short haired dog that dries super fast.  I always have to take a dryer to Sasha with all the Pom hair.

Sleep Sleep - Smell my own feet!

I love taking pictures of the dogs while they sleep and Shelly slept quite interesting last night for a little bit on my bed...   What's up with that foot by her ear? 

She woke up when I went to get a better picture of her and did finally move her foot, but once she settled again, back up it went!

Going for a car ride...

So today we went over again to Amber's and Shelly got her play on with Sadie (see videos).  It was our third visit and the first time they really played together.  It was super cute.  Cute to see Shelly finally get to play but also great to see Sadie who is 11 years old get energized by this cute puppy.

To get there, we had to go in the car.  She doesn't really like car rides and didn't want to go near the car, but once we got closer, she did get in by herself.  Then she pouted a bit and settled with an occasional whine.  (the trip over there is less than 5 minutes, so it wasn't too awful for her).

Goodnight Sweet Shelly

Whew!  Shelly is one active little puppy... Her housetraining is coming along and she is starting to use the doggy door.  Though more often than not, she uses the doggie door to go hide toys rather than potty.  She is just starting to bring me back stuffed animlas that I throw and I think we did that for about 30 minutes yesterday.  She also stole my cats little play mouse and had fun running around that the house with that.  She is a cute runner as she runs with little hops in there.  So girly! Tonight Cassie and I worked with her with "come" and she did really well as long as we had treats! 

She does well with her crate and is very patient in there, though she does whines when I get home from work.    I don't know if her and Sasha are ever going to be friends, but we are going to do more visits to Amber's house and let her continue to get to know Sheriff and Sadie.
