Hah, I know that feeling. Back in the days they'd play like nuts for 15 minutes, then curl up on you for an hour :)Don't miss the pee though!

Or the runny poop! It's definitely nice to not have to be on my toes 24/7

Nova is so photogenic!  She poses so nicely for you.  The baby pictures are too adorable for words!

Lol! Treats and you have to be quick, she will poses for 2 seconds and if you don't get it, shes gone and its just about impossible to get her to sit and focus again. I have tons of blurry pics of her.

She was so tiny. She looks like a kitten in this pic.

She's growing up so much!

She really has grown up so much makes me sad lol

Random one I found on my camera from my college

Just some play pictures from today, I played with my camera until I figured out how to turn on sports mode, still alittle blurry but I'm not a camera person so oh well



I can never get all 3 to stand still







My favorite from today, she runs in a circle and he stands in one spot and attacks when she gets close enough, its a game they've done for probably 6 months now

The ground is white! This is the only pic I have of today cause she was moving around too much and it was getting dark, but hopefully I can get up and go take some pictures in the morning, since this might be the only time in her life we get something that looks like snow and actually sticks to the ground

She's very cute!

Thanks

Some puppy pics my sister sent me:
Whenever I pick her up I still hold her like this






My favorite, this was the first time she met my sisters, sorry about the face I'm making you can ignore that, this a pure Nova pic shes a goober

She is so adorable. <3

Pictures from our "blizzard," it was a lot of sleet and no snow so the ground is just packed in ice. Nova liked it last night when it was sorta loose, but now not so much.







Checking to see if the neighbor dogs were outside

Thank you

So we had a friend's basset over for a week now, he goes home on Wednes, but this is the only good pic I've gotten of both of them, neither will stand still long enough, he really wants to make basset/husky babies as well   excuse the paper towels in the background he sloshes about a fourth of the water from the bowl on the ground

Some pics from Memorial Day, we took her to the river house and got some boat time in











And of course when we got home

She's beautiful, how does she like the boat?

She loves it, she spends most of the ride at the front with her head sticking out of the railing, or sitting by me on the back seats, she does really well

What a super fun day! I would love to take Mishka out on a boat but my step dad refuses. Maybe one day!

Just keep the hope alive! lol y'all have beaches around there that you can take him too atleast right?

So it has been quite some time since I was last on and a lot has been going on, I figured I should come on and post some new pictures of her and do an update on how my baby has been. Since the first day we had her, she has always done this thing where she will drink water until she throws up, we have brought it up to the vet almost every time she went in and were always told its a "puppy thing" she will grow out of it eventually. Well she hasn't and when she started going into work with me (I work at a doggie daycare now), my boss saw her do it and immediately told me I needed to take her to a different vet, she sent me to one who is known around here for figuring out problems like this, and it turns out baby girl might have a liver shunt. We did a bile acids test and with her other symptoms a liver shunt covers them all. A liver shunt is basically a blood vessel that is carrying blood away from the liver which it needs plenty of to survive. So it is slowly killing her liver, good news is, we live close to one of the best vet schools around and with an operation (as long as the vessel in outside of the liver) it is a completely fixable issue and she should live a nice long life. Without it we are looking at a she MIGHT live to 13 she might live to 7, its hard to tell. Hers seems to be a milder version of one, and since we caught it now vs. in a few years when she started going down hill, I am crossing my fingers that everything goes fine and we come out on the other side stronger. As of right now she is much herself, a happy, silly girl and I've just been trying to not stress about it much, hence why I haven't done this sooner. But her vet visit is coming up and I figured now is probably a good time to do an update post.  So here are a few pictures I've acquired of Nova since the last time I updated her scrapbook.

Thanks for the updates.  I am sorry to hear about Nova's liver.  Fingers crossed for a good vet visit upcoming.  

She has grown up so cute and the treats on the leg pic is pretty impressive

Thank you we could use all the luck we can get at this point

Wow what a beautiful little girl you got there, love the beach pics, and all her dress ups, lol. I wish you and Nova lots of luck......Miya has her paws crossed for Nova

Thanks! I figured out she will just kinda let me put her in all sorts of stuff, and its been game on since then

Love the pictures. I hope the vets can fix up her liver issues and she will be okay. It is hard looking at a seemingly healthy dog then having to hear you may not have them as long as anticipated. I know when I look at Keno roughing around with Kenzi it's hard to think that the vet only expects 3 more years with him. I'll keep my fingers crossed they can get her all fixed up for you.

I love the pictures - she is so sweet.

Best of luck with the liver issues.

And, finally...you could be the twin of my sister Colleen. Well...30 years ago, anyay

good work on the treats!
hope you can get her liver fixed. Sierra has a liver issue and is on meds for the rest of her life.

This picture kills me.  This caption came to my head:  "Hi, I have 32 cats.!"
