Once upon a time I got a great birthday present of a super canine companion. She was cute little black 5 month old lab/hound cross that we named Beasley. Boy was she full of energy. Have to admit their were times those first few months (okay maybe first year) that we did not know if we could keep up this crazy adopted pup. We had much destruction. There was the newel posts and spindles that were chew toys, the leashes we had to buy every few weeks as she chewed through them, the unraveled berber carpet, and the power cords (luckily she did not electrocute herself or burn the house down) just to name a few. We did survive these and she is now a super family dog. She still gets into mischief, but the kids love her and she looks out for them and endures much taunting and hair pulling.
When she was a pup she got ALL the attention from us. So many walks, toys, playtime galore, puppy school, doggy daycare. Well times change! While she is still a great dog and super companion. She is my devoted running companion that dislikes my treadmill almost as much as I do since it means she does not get to go running with me. She almost always follows me into my closet to check if I am putting on my running clothes and gets super excited when the running shoes come out! She is no longer the only one looking for attention anymore.
We just realized that she turned 7 last week!!! Time flies! She is a great dog (isn't she pretty!!!) and I thought she deserved a posting - I am sure she would much rather get a treat and a good belly rub. :)
