Nala

Jake and I decided that it was time to give Nala a hair cut. She always looks like a completely different dog after she gets one. Mostly because we just have them pretty much shave her to get rid of the tangles and so that we don't have to take her in every month, which you probably should with silkies. Below are her before and after pictures:And after the hair cut: a brand new dog (who can actually see!).

A little bit about Nala (because after all she is my only baby and most people like to blog about their kids and stuff)....

• Nala is about 2 1/2, almost 3 years old. I have no idea when her Birthday is because Jake doesn't have a clue. He thinks he bought her in December of 2006 so my guess is she was born in Sept- Nov.
  
• She is a very VERY hyper dog (maybe a little ADHD but we're not sure if you can test for that in dogs). We don't mind too much, though, because it's always a good feeling to come home and have someone SUPER excited to see you, even if you only went out to check the mail and come back.

• Her favortie thing to do is lick. Lick, Lick, LICK!! She licks anything and everything! This is a picture of her giving my brother, Issac a bath (and boy does he need it)!
• Nala runs really, really fast! When she needs to let out energy she runs from one end of the house to the other about 20 times, non-stop. I think she also does this for attention because it happens a lot when we have guests over and they get a kick out of it.
• Nala is more than just a dog. Since we've had her we have discovered that she is a lot of other animals in one. Such as:
• She is a lion. As you might have guessed she was named after a Lion and there is good reason for it. She pounces. Like a cat. I have never seen any dog pounce on things like she does.
• She is a pig. When she gets really excited she likes to make a grunting noise like a pig, weird.
• She is an Elephant. For some reason she thinks she has a trunk, not a nose, and tries to drink from it. She coughs almost everytime she gets a drink of water because she gets it up her noes. Duh!
• She is a fish. I don't know if this is a scientific fact or not but they say a gold fish only has a memory of about 10 seconds. Nala might be worse than that. Partially because she gets distracted easily and partially because she just can't remember where that ball went.
• She is a cow. I know it is normal for dogs to eat grass every now and then but she seems to do it a lot and every time we're in the backyard playing we have to remind her that she is not a cow and to stop eating the grass.

So far I think that is all the animals we have discovered inside her. No matter what though we love our little princess. (And she really is just as spoiled as a princess)!
