Magical Shyla as a Big Sister

Not too long ago, this girl was our puppy. We've traveled a long way since then... but the love remains so very strong.

She's my partner in heading out into the winter cold at sunrise. I think that she loves it like I do, at least partly because it's our special thing that we do together.

I've seen a whole new side of Shyla since Hachi joined us. She really loves playing with him, and she has incredible patience with him.

I don't really know what he did to make his ear fly in the air in this one but Shyla was still being a kind older sister.

Seeing her be such a wonderful big sister has made me love her even more.
She is magical.

    We love the piggyback photo! It takes a LOT of patience to raise a puppy and you are doing a wonderful job, Shyla!

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love the piggy back ride Hachi is getting from Shyla. She obviously had maternal DNAs that have surfaced and are thriving with her baby brudder.
    Your girl's outings with Shyla are precious!!
    Love that ear action Hachi.

    and an A+ for being so patient with tiny needle-like little puppy teeth!
    I imagine both big brother and big sister will be glad when his permanent teeth come in! LOL!
    as always... your photos are worthy of any ever seen in National Geographic. xo

    It touches my heart to see them play together. And I think Hachi is movie star material. He has the most expressive face of any dog I have ever seen. And that ear!

    Your final photo , that is magical. She is so loving, and to be the older girl , what a way to go after all her early hesitations when she was a lot younger. Enjoy the last of your winter, we have a cool wind, so welcome, this morning.
