A Birthday Girl!

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.

  7. Wow, six years! Happy Birthday, Shyla.

    Seems like it's hard to tell who has made out better in this relationship--you or Shyla. And that's just the way it should be.

  19. 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!

    You guys are so lucky to have each other!
