Yesterday, Shyla turned six years old! She and I celebrated in our favorite way with a sunrise mountain bike ride!
Here's our selfie in the light of the rising sun.
I loved seeing my girl glowing in the rising sun.
And I loved seeing her shadow chasing her!
Here she was at sunrise on her first birthday. We don't have any puppy photos of her because we didn't know her until she was 9 months old.
Shyla has taught me more than any other dog because she needs me more than any other dog we've had in our family to help her through the scary parts of life. I'm honored that she trusts me. And I'm overjoyed to have such a perfect trail companion and best friend.
She loves to sleep with her head on my shoulder. What a precious bond we have.
Happy Belated Birthday Shyla!!

Shyla!!! Happy Happy Happy Happy 6th Birthday sweet beautiful girl. OMCs you are for sure all a glow you are your very own Bday candle. WE love the photo of you and your sweet mom in the light of the rising sun. OMCs mom is so jealous...over your last sentence. You see I Madi(son) D. Cat am not a lap cat...nope. Every so often I'll sit on the arm of the chair or couch and put my front legs in mom's lap but it only last about 2 shakes of a cat's tail. How sweet you sleep with your head on Mom's shoulder.

Happy birthday, beautiful Shyla!! Rita and Shyla have a lot in common - Rita also turned 6 this year, and we don’t have puppy pics of her either because we got her when she was 7 months old, and she has many fears. AND they both have come a long way!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so lucky to have each other!
Happiest of Birthday Shyla! You glow more & more with age. Beautiful!! xoxo
