Dog Dayz

Ranked #5,247 in Pets & Animals, #129,129 overall

With a Nickname like "Monster"...

I wouldn't exactly call Shelby mischievous but she's had her share of trouble. Unfortunately, when she was getting into trouble no one was in the proper frame of mind to take any pictures.

What follows are some of Shelby's Dog Dayz and I invite you to have some fun creating a caption to go with the image.

Have a barking good time!

It's My Party (even when it's not)

Since we brought her home we have celebrated her birthday every year. My husband insists on buying her toys and treats and wrapping them up with birthday paper. And of course we must document the event with pictures.

I always wonder what she's thinking as she's tearing through the paper.

Even if it's an old shoe, I must remember to tell them thank you.

The Dog's Bed

We bought this bean bag for the dog when she was a few years old. Within twenty minutes we took it away from her because she chewed a whole through the cover and was working her way through to the meat.

Last winter my husband took it out for her again but she showed no interest in it. One day we happened to look over and found her sister Suzie curled up enjoying the heat blowing over her from the vent beside it.

Guess who wants the bean bag back?

Can't make me move.

Staying Cool in the Summer

German Shepherds have a thick undercoat all year round. One of the best ways to keep cool in the summer is with a kiddie pool. It's easy to empty and tuck away when needed but holds enough water to keep her feet wet.

I replaced Shelby's old pool with this new elephant one last summer. She thought the elephant nose feature was as cool as I did.

Get the water...ooh, ooh...get the water.

Well, if they think I am getting in there after the elephant has peed in it, they have another thing coming!

The Kong - Shelby's Indestructable Toy

KONG Extreme Dog Toy, Large, Black

Amazon Price: $4.99 (as of 02/17/2012)Buy Now

When Shelby was growing up we went through a lot of toys until we discovered the Kong. It is virtually indestructible. And she loves to play it. We use to put peanut butter in when she was little but now she's happy to chew it, bounce it, bury it, all on her own.

Tongue Tied

German Shepherds have long tongues. It's a wonder they are able to fit the whole thing in their mouths.

That bee was delicious!

Sharing Bed with Sister in Hotel

We like to travel with both of our pets. They don't necessarily like to travel with one another but they do a good job of putting up with one another. Can you guess who was on the bed first?

Strange Facination with Tubs

For some reason Shelby has a fascination with tubs that are not in our house. If we are in a hotel or are visiting and she disappears we are always sure to find her in the tub. Meanwhile at home, you would think we were torturing her by putting her in the tub.

Can u shut the door please

The Crazy Ball - Working for a Treat

Omega Paw Tricky Treat Ball, Large

Amazon Price: $8.02 (as of 02/17/2012)Buy Now

I think this was a Christmas gift from the in-laws. We've had it so long I don't remember. Every night before bed we add about ten tasty treats and she rolls it around trying to get them out. It's good for at least thirty minutes of distraction. She doesn't go a night without out and knows it by name. When we ask "where's your crazy ball?" she goes off and finds it.

Couch Potato

When there is no company and she's in the house the couch is hers. She is actually looking over the couch toward the door waiting for her dad to come home. Sometimes she does this at night when we are both home and we wonder what she's thinking.

Daddy....where are you?

Snow Bound

Next to water, snow is Shelby's next favorite thing to play with. Could have something to do with being made of water. She loves to dig it, roll in it, hide in it and jump up and down in it. Here she's sitting in a whole she dug. There was almost four feet of snow. Ever see a dog angel?

Queen of Green

Shelby is queen of her back yard and she lets every one know it. In this shot she's actually refusing to come in the house by doing the "you can't make me" lie down on the ground manoeuvre. It only works for a minute or two but that never stops her from using it.

You can't make me!
