Puppy Pictures and Layouts!


So happy you're here! I have some new pages to share with ya'll!

Since Skye, our Leonberger pup, is over a year old, I felt it was time to do some pages of her baby-days! 

Like animals? Especially puppies? Then- sit back and enjoy!

"Today was a Wonderful Day"

"Skye"


 "Buddies"
"Baby Skye"

Journaling:

Skye, our Leonberger pup, was twelve weeks old when she joined our family and became Argo's buddy. Leonbergers  originated in Germany. They are bred from Newfoundlands (Newfs), Saint Bernards and Grand Pyrenees. The Leonbergers  are intelligent, fast learners with a great temperament. They are good with children and other pets. "Leos" are a working dog and can work at mobility support, water rescue, cart pulling and are often used as therapy dogs at hospitals, for the elderly, etc...
Female "Leos" like Skye can  weigh up to 115lbs. Skye weighed 33 lbs when we first brought her home.  :) 
Love our "Leo"-- and so does Argo!

 "Baby Dawg"
Journaling:
When Skye was little, she loved to lie on Noah's mini-trampoline in the living room. She had a cute way of relaxing in what Daniel had very affectionately dubbed "the pose."  It was adorable! :)
A lot of times when Skye was lying on the trampoline we'd see her busily chewing her 'Nylabone.' She loved giving her little puppy- teeth a workout on that thing!

"Sweet as Honey"
Journaling:
This is Daddy's favourite photo of Skye.
When I asked him why he loved it so much, he said "It's just so funny, she looks cute with her hair off in all different directions!!"
She also has a sales receipt in her mouth- Skye was mischievous and sneakily loved to steal papers out of the recycle-bin and chew on them!  
Plus, look at those HUGE paws!!

While Argo was at work, we'd find Skye lying on the cool floor, relaxing-- and if she was sleeping, she looked like a big ball of furry fluff! She also really loved the vantage point that sitting or lying on the mini trampoline gave her.

"Shining Thru"

 Journaling:
The longer Skye was a part of our family, the more we could see her "personality" shining through. She was such a sweetheart! Skye was a super-fast learner, picking up commands and routines like nobody's business. Very quickly, she started to follow the same commands that we'd been taught to use with Argo. This made it easier for everyone!
Smarty-pants girl!

 "Mellow Girl"

Journaling:

Skye, like many Leonbergers, liked to be up off the floor 'cause it gave her a better vantage point. The mini trampoline we kept in the living room for Noah's use was her chosen spot when she was small. She soon grew too big for it, but these photos of her relaxing there, playing with the 'Gator, are just more mellow puppy-cuteness!
