The sunlight is changing. Since I started loving photography, I've noticed how much warmer the light is as we move out of summer and into autumn. It makes Shyla's chocolate fur glow.
We are beseeching the heavens for more warm and sunny days to enjoy before our first frost and snow. We know that they are not far away.
I haven't mentioned it, because I've been afraid of jinxing it, but Shyla's confidence seems to have suddenly and unexpectedly grown wildly strong. She's meeting all sorts of people politely but very warmly. She gives kisses to people who she just met (but never forces kisses upon non-dog people). I watch her with absolute amazement. She's my girl, and I'm so happy that her true spirit is starting to shine through.
she's blooming in your security.

ReplyDeleteMy big brave boy Otto calmly walked by two horses yesterday!! Woo HOO! Cheering for increasing confidence!!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures of a beautiful and maturing girl.
ReplyDeleteYes!!!!! Over the last year, Hunter has become more comfortable with strangers and so mellow when others come into our home vs running and hiding. These kiddos has blossomed under our wings of love. Well done KB! I know she will continue to mature and amaze you-maybe one day in Boulder too.

ReplyDeleteSo glad she's blossoming! She's a gorgeous gal!
ReplyDeleteI know with horses they have that "aha" moment - where everything you have worked so hard for clicks. I wonder if Shyla has has her "aha" moment?

Such wonderful photos of beautiful Shyla!
ReplyDeleteIt's as warming as the sun to see your beautiful girl blossom!
ReplyDeleteYou have done fantastic work in building her confidence! We had a glorious day here today, but nothing with photos like yours:)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, the autumn light is so much warmer and gentler than the summer light.
ReplyDeleteActually - I would love to meet Shyla. She is an exceptional dog. I'm a dog person even though we don't have a dog due to severe allergies in my family. However, that doesn't stop me to love dogs.
Your photos are - as usual - stunning. I love them.
That's wonderful about her confidence!
ReplyDeleteAnd the blossoming Shyla is because you are such a fine trainer. You listen to her and it's paying off big dividends.
ReplyDeleteShyla...you sooooooo rock!!!!
