Denali ... riding home from her vet visit in Ian's lap.
Sleepy puppy.

age 15 weeks. Practicing "Sit" and "Look"
age 15 weeks.
age 15 weeks. To give you an idea of her actual size.
age 15 weeks. This was the first decent photo I could get of her standing. To give you an idea of what she looks like, all over. Her markings are very symmetrical.
age 16 weeks. Going to the vet.
age 16 weeks. home from the vet.
age 16 weeks.
age 16 weeks. After puppy class, we looked for a new "squeaky." She found this ball and carried it all the way up to the front of the store!
"Like my ball?"
"mine!"
"you can't have it!"
18 weeks - such a big girl.
age 18 weeks... she's eyeing a cat to see if she can catch him on his way over the gate.
19 weeks.
"I'm a good girl, mommy. Really."
19 weeks - at Puppy Kindergarten. Here we practice "Sit."
19 weeks. I'd love this photo even more if there weren't so much "aisle" in it. But taking class in a Petco store doesn't really make for a pretty picture. Anyway, I love how I'm looking at her and she's looking up at me.
19 weeks - "Crawl."
19 weeks - "High Five!" Although, this is more of a "High Ten."
19 weeks - this is typical of how she relaxes.
19 weeks - "Mommy, I've had a long day... just can I please go to sleep?"
20 weeks - on our way to Puppy Kindergarten Graduation.
20 weeks - I was humming with the radio... I guess she'd never heard me hum before.
20 weeks - down and look.
the impromtu "Graduation Cap" ... she wasn't having anything of it!
here, the trainer, Sarah, is holding the cap on her head while tempting her with a treat.
paw, look, stay.
this "Cap" is a little better... it has specific slots for the ears.
21 weeks: At the dog park. "Hello."
21 weeks: "Let's run!"
21 weeks: The Three Musketeers at the park that day... a boxer, a bull dog and Denali.
Denali: "I'm tired" ... Mom: "You're filthy! You get to have a bath today!"
21 weeks.
5 months... several days after her spay surgery... on "place."
5 months.
Denali on her 6-month birthday!
She turned 6-months and had her very first boat ride!
Getting ready for her first trip to the beach in Charleston... April, 2009
April 26, 2009. Denali's first birthday! She got to go to the Canine Cafe where she picked out a new squeaky toy and a doggie birthday cake.
"Do I HAVE to wear the hat? Can I eat my cake now???"
Everyday, Denali smiles for us when we get home... (Picnik photo editor made her glowing eyes look pretty cartoonish. LOL!)
