Alaska's growing up fast - she's 10 months old now & such a sweetheart. She had her first season in January & it was a challenge keeping her & Timba apart but we got through it.
I have been confined to the house since February with a blown knee so she has not had the socialisation she should have had. I dont think this will hold her back any but I'm going to get her out in the world soon to make up for lost time.
She has an amazing ability to figure things out for herself. She likes to collect all the metal feeding bowls after supper. To make it easier to pick them up she puts the 2 smaller collie bowls inside the 2 big Shiloh bowls & carries them all together to her corner to lick them clean.
She can not only open a sliding door, she will close it behind her to cover her tracks, lol.
She's also just had her first 'blow-out' - She lost all her undercoat in 3 days & I could have stuffed 10 cushions with the stuff! That's another great thing about the Shilohs though - the plush coats shed twice a year & there is a ton of hair lost but the rest of the time there's not a lot of dog hair to complain about.
Next step on the road to getting her & Timba together is to get her hips checked out & to do the temperament testing so she can get full ISSR registration.
