Life with Shiloh

Motherhood is a joy.  The most precious gift was given to me on February 12, 2014.  My sisters had adopted a stray puppy from the Humane Society for me as a gift for going through the implant surgery and for Valentine's Day.  It was the best gift I've ever gotten in my life aside from Peanut, Max, and Lacey. I debated on a name for her.  Immediately when I saw her something in me was whispering Sh... Sh... and I was leaning towards Shadow.
I was at the doctor's for my follow up and it immediately hits me in the waiting room.  Shiloh!  I researched the name and the definition and texted my sisters and father for approval.  Dad and Carli loved it.  Becky, not so much.  She didn't like people name for dogs.  She later came to love it and saw that Shiloh definitely suited the cute puppy.  Poor Shiloh.  She was in the kennel for a month before my sisters found her and adopted her.  She automatically became a part of the family and was loved. Never did I think I would own a puppy.  I did talk about getting one and investing in one but never found the time or the money to.  I like to believe Shiloh became my companion at the perfect time.
It's amazing for some one who doesn't talk to you can speak and understand you in thousands of words through their characteristics.

So here's to our second year of being each other's companions!  I am celebrating this day as the day you came into my life Shiloh!

Shiloh understands so many things and has the intelligence of a lab.  She knows to sit, lay down, shake, go to bed, go outside, and many other commands.  One of our favorite commands is telling her to go find Pinky, Jack, Mistletoe, Cow, Reindeer, Ball-Ba, Wubba, and all those other toys that have unique names.  She knows them all and can find them in no time!  She is that smart. I'm a proud mommy.

Her favorite hobby and mission each day is to play fetch!  She loves to go outside and play fetch.

She loves to cuddle and to sleep on mommy's lap and her Grandpa's lap too!  Much to the chagrin of Grandma.  She loves to bury herself under the covers at bed time and inches her way up to the pillow by morning.

She is very protective of her mommy and does get into fights when mommy pets other dogs or invites other dogs to come to her.  That's my sweet girl but she is learning to share mommy and to be friendlier to other furry companions too.

She loves being around new people everyday and is always ready to jump and greet them.
She does not have a bad bone in her body and I am so proud of her patience and behavior towards others.

Shiloh, I am forever grateful you are my most loyal companion and you have been there for me so many times,  You are there to dry my tears and to make me laugh, You are always there to give kisses to me and give me so much love.  Everyday with you never feels like there's enough love or time to give.  Thank you my sweet puppy for being just you!

Happy 2nd Get-Together Day!  I love you sweet thing!  Here's to many more!!!!
