I have someone to introduce to you.
Her name is Shyla, "daughter of the mountains".
She is super affectionate toward people. I feel like she's already bonded strongly to me and the Runner within the past 24 hours.
She's 9 months old and only 41 lbs (very small for a Lab). She is still truly a puppy at heart. She ran laps in our living room today while tucking her butt and sliding around the corners on the hardwood floor. She was bursting with puppy happiness.
She's built to run, with a light frame and long legs. And, she's so smart that I've already taught her new behaviors today, like making eye contact on cue and poking my hand with her nose on cue. I have so many things to teach her. I can't wait!
So, here's our new girl, Shyla. We'll all be getting to know her together.
I feel grateful to have such an amazing girl to nurture and love.
Congrats! She is so cute! I look forward to watching her grow. Nothing like watching pups grow and develop!
ReplyDeleteAnd nurture and love her you will, we have no doubt. She is a beauty. Love the name, and so very appropriate!!! All the very best to you and your special new girl.
ReplyDelete*squeeeee* She is gorgeous! I LOVE her eyes and her coloring! I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to hear about all of your new adventures together. Congratulations to you and Shyla!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect name for her. And how full of life she is. Can't wait to learn how she is with R. Is he happy about having her there? This is so fun to get to travel this road with you guys.
ReplyDeleteGooooooooood choice, KB! I like her pink nose! She is small for a lab, but that just makes it easier on you when she wants to be a lap dog :) Ziggy at 85 pounds is a little ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! And she has a very feminine look about her. She doesn't know how lucky she is!!
ReplyDeleteShyla!!! So pleased to meet you, puppy girl. You are super lucky to have several new best friends and your very own mountains to explore.
ReplyDeleteWe been looking forward to reading and seeing Shyla all day, now my crazy mom is crying for your happiness. She's a real beauty.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the the new mom and dad.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful life you have waiting for you . . .and friends by the galore!

Shyla is adorable! The start of a wonderful new adventure...
ReplyDeleteKB, she's just beautiful and something about her expression in one of those pictures reminds me of K. She is truly a blessing in your life.
ReplyDeleteWow, What a sharp looking pup! So, How's her toy drive? (Just asking Carrie, that's all) I could be in love with floppy eared dog. I don't comment much on blogs but she got me to. Anyway, hope you enjoy the numerous new adventures that you are about to embark on. -Mr. Taleteller.
ReplyDeleteWelcome beautiful Shyla! You and your wonderful family are incredibly blessed to have found each other (even with some help from your Guardian Angel). May your lives together be long, healthy, amazing, and filled with love!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty Shyla is!
ReplyDeleteShyla is lovely, absolutely lovely. I'm so glad you've found each other.
ReplyDeleteWelcome HOME Shyla!

We can not wait to read more about adventures!

ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Shyla is beautiful! Charley is a long legged lean (now tripawd) lab and he still "zooms" laps around the house butt tucking the entire way!
ReplyDeleteMay you have many many many happy and healthy years with Shyla!!!
Hugs and chocolate labby kisses,
Ellen & Charley

Lily Belle & Muffin
Hi Shyla...You're beautiful. Welcome home. Hope R is taking to her well. Can't wait to see her grow and learn all the new things you have in store for her.
ReplyDeleteHisqueen1 with Aria and Mikey
From the mom - just been reading the past few days with no time to comment but I can't leave without a few words or so about this beauty. Congratulations on your decision - Shyla is definitely a good fit there with you, the Runner and R. I love her name - also a good fit - when I look at her pic then say her name - it's natural - no other name would be as good.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought maybe I was just seeing things but Amber Daweenie also saw it - something in Shyla's face - and it's more than just in her Lab eyes - there is definitely something there - spirit-like - that reminds me of K. Yep, pretty sure Angel K had something to do with your decision to get Shyla and maybe even something to do with naming her.

Welcome SWEET Shyla! Adorable

Ann....from..Outer Banks of NC...said.....You are so beautiful ..sweet baby girl....with a special name to go with it....looking forward to hearing and seeing more about you....It is just amazing that I noticed just like Amber did... an expression on Shyla... that reminded me of K .... Congratulations....KB...the Runner and R...."May you cherish the gentle scent of those beautiful flowers in the meadow and the glory of the view of those mountains as you souls are warmed in the love that is about to begin".....HUGS
ReplyDeleteWelcome to your new home Shyla, you are going to be so loved!
ReplyDeleteMany , many congrats to your family member. Beautiful name he has, is it the name the breeder gave her or did you give her a new one?
ReplyDeleteShe´s a beauty already with wise eyes. You will have a lot of happniness with her. I´m sure R is very happy to have someone to play and run with.
It will be very nice to follow you all with her.
We have now one month to the hunting season with our small ones. Cant wait to let them loose. On Sunday we will go test trial on blood tracking with Vilja and Trym.
Hugs from us!!!
She's a beauty but totally different from K. And I love the lighter Labs, though with nine months she will prbabely not gain many more hight but will put on weight.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward for the pictures and stories you'll share!
Welcome beautiful Shyla. I love your name and you are so pretty. I can't wait to get to know you better and see your adventures. I know R will love you and will teach you the ropes. You have so much exploring ahead of you. I am so happy for all of you.
ReplyDeleteAnne and Sasha
Have a terrific Thursday and a BIG WARM WELCOME to Shyla. Looking forward to seeing her first few days, can't wait
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Oh what a beauty! She looks totally switched on too...
ReplyDeleteElsie has had me in stitches running laps of the living room too, ears back, paws bounding. Under and through the tables again and again and again. Although she wrecks the joint when she's doing it, and may well scratch the wooden floor, I know she'll only be small enough to do it for a short time so have vowed to enjoy it!
She is just gorgeous and we love her name!
ReplyDeleteWe're also horrified that Molly already weighs more than she does! YIKES!
Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly
She is so beautiful ! I love her eyes . Welcome Shyla !

ReplyDeleteWelcome Shyla! KB, you have totally surprised me here-I thought you were getting a really young puppy. Shyla is beautiful, the perfect age and size. Oh what joy; since she is Hunter's age, I wish you lived close to teach me how to teach him. Have a joy filled day, filled with puppy love and laughter.
