A Formal Introduction

I realised that I have never properly introduced Skye on the blog. Shame on me. She's only been part of the family for a year and a half. Well, this is her. 
Looks like butter wouldn't melt, right? Wrong. She is a very sweet, loving, playful dog but she is sometimes a little too smart for her own good and has to have her nose in everything... and I mean everything. She has to know exactly what is going on. Our lives would be very boring without her.

She is generally very chilled until someone comes to visit or she is hungry. She is ruled by her stomach and feeding time is the highlight of her day. She loves to play, particularly with squeaky tennis balls and a (now devoid of stuffing) lime green stuffed dog that says 'Cats are not my friends' on it. This was originally a Hattie toy purchased in NY and chosen by Julianna and Michella. Hattie never played with it too much so it has been nice to see Skye get so much entertainment from it. 

She is very vocal (apparently this is something that is a trait of German Shepherds which is the only breed that we know she definitely has) and lets us know what is going on. 

I'm back home now for the summer. It was a bit of a mission having to pack up my tiny little room in the Prince of Guinea but I am pleased to be home and getting to love on this (not so) little face.
