We brought her home in July of 2021 at 8 weeks.

Casey, Quinn, Shanna, and the Mop

Her favorite toy was an old mop that she found near the trash, it was ready to throw out and she sequestered it for her own. Casey and Quinn didn’t know what to make of it as she chased around the yard with it in her mouth. We thought she was ready to mount it and fly away.

She forcibly inserted herself into the pack, like it or not.

I believe Casey is thinking "What have you done!?"

I believe Casey is thinking “What have you done!?” Sigh.

She wasn’t shy in an even bigger pack.

She was not even phased when the pack was bigger

She took command of the best bed and toys.

Mine!

This is no shrinking violet of a dog.

That’s a nice stick you are chewing on, I want it…

They are family.

They learned to share.

Although she definitely took ownership.

Quinn taught her the bad habit of digging for gophers or moles.

Getting bigger…

One year old, definitely the deva.

At 18 months, still a deva. Belly rubs are her favorite.

She has developed into a smart, funny, spirited, somewhat headstrong, and loving dog.

She is still very much a playful puppy at two.

Happy Birthday Shanna!
