Nala turns 3 today!

Here she is 3 months old.

And here she is yesterday.

She’s very focused on the cookie I have in my hand.

Nala turns 2 today! Two years ago Nala was born/whelped and a couple of months after that we brought her home with us. Hard to believe all that time has gone by already. Seems like just a short while ago we were waking up every 2 or 3 hours to take her outside to go to the bathroom or watching her scamper around the apartment being a little puppy. Now she’s a big grown up mellow dog who likes nothing more than to have someone throw a ball for her or give you lots of kisses.

Here she is at about 14 weeks old

Here she is now

One thing Nala’s become really good at is finding and tracking insects inside the house. It’s easy to tell when she’s got one in her sights too. I’ll walk into a room and see her staring really, really hard at something. Sure enough, there’s a bug under her nose that she’s sniffing at. It’s really kind of amusing, the way she gets with bugs.
The other day I walked into the kitchen and saw her staring at something just below the counter. I walked over to see what she was looking at and this huge moth flew up into the air and started banging against the ceiling and walls trying to get out. Finally managed to capture it when it landed on one of the plants, and released it safely outside.
This morning I spotted her crouched down staring at something at the base of the dishwasher. Found a little tiny cricket she had cornered.
Look out bugs!

Looking through the growing collection of Nala pictures, you can definitely see how much we spoil Nala (doesn’t everybody love to spoil their dogs rotten?)

Right now she gets the back seat of the car all to herself, complete with her own pillow to rest on. She’s going to have to get used to sharing the back seat soon though.
