Enjoying summer!

Hi all! I know it's been quite a while since the last post, but a puppy's life is hectic!
I've been out exploring the world, and experiencing new sights and sounds!


I recently went on my very first camping trip. Getting ready was really exiting for me, as I didn't have a clue what to expect.
It was a beautiful place, with lots of new smells...ANIMAL SMELLS! There was a three legged bear prowling around the very first night! There was only one problem, I had to be tethered to a tree most of the time! Shilohs HATE to be tied up! We're free spirits at heart!
The other thing is, we have to stay outside the whole time, and there's no air conditioning! He keeps saying: "trust me girl, your gonna love it!"
Ok daddy, if you say so.
ok, I see what you mean!


Who needs air conditioning!
You're right daddy,
what's not to love?
By the way, I am now 26" tall and weigh 73 lbs.
I will be 9 months old on August 16th.

What's new

Hi again everybody! Every day brings a new experience for me, and I've started to train my family on my daily routine. I'm learning to walk alongside mum on her mobility scooter. I'm still getting used to following along, but I love to run any way I can!

I've visited my vet three times so far, he and his staff are great people, they give me lots of love and belly rubs. I don't even mind when he sticks that needle in my back! At every visit, I have to be weighed, which I hate! Don't they know a girl is sensitive about others knowing her weight?! Anyhoo, in case it is of any interest to anyone, my progress is listed below.

17/02/2011   18.90 lbs
19/03/2011   30.50 lbs
16/04/2011   41.30 lbs.
As you can see, I am beginning to live up to my status as a giant!

I enjoy 1 cup of Holistic Select Large/Giant Breed Puppy Food, the Lamb formula, 4 times a day (I prefer the chicken, but it hasn't been available lately). It's really good if anyone out there is looking for an excellent food choice for their giant breed, I highly recommend it! I prefer to dine alone, and in peace, but that is hardly ever possible! Someone's always sticking a camera in my face! Even a diva needs some privacy once in a while!

On my next post I will tell you about our trips to all the schools in the area. I like Campaign Dog Academy, it's a 40 minute drive, but they are the only ones that offer weekend classes. I really like the dog park at Doggie Central, where I met a big Shiloh sister (she looks just like me!). They have many play groups, and one just for giants.

Take care, and come back soon for another visit! I'll be right here waiting for you!

If I doze off, wake me when you get here.

Things I like!

Hi again! Thanx for coming back! I've gotten a little bit bigger since the last post. I'm a whopping 34 lbs.!
I thought I would share a few of the things I like to do most! Like chew on water bottles...
Get belly rubs! Ooooooo!

It's always nice to catch a few winks....when you can!

Sorry folks! Gotta go, it's time for my late afternoon kibble break, and Mummy says it's rude to talk with your mouth full! See ya' next time.

My new home!

I arrived at my new forever home on February 11th, 2011. This is me with my "Ditho" (grandpa), he's my favourite playmate!


I'm checking out my new, big backyard. Finding it a bit difficult to navigate through the snow, but I just love it!

My people think I'm a bit of a show-off, posing for pictures everytime I see a camera. What's a Diva anyway?!

I'm also a Ham! I have a great sense of humour, and love it when my people laugh at whatever I'm doing.

Thanx for taking the time to visit my blog. I look forward to your next visit!
