Mika's 7 months old!

Mika is 7 months old:

Weight: 40 lbs

Height: 20 inches

Favorite toy: Bone/us

Favorite human food: bananas with peanut butter

Sleeps all the way through the night (finally).

Still sleeps the majority of the day, but when she is awake is very energetic. 

She is seriously the most spoiled dog. But, she is totally worth it, to me. She is our child. We take her everywhere with us. Actually, that's why we got her certified to be a service dog (her vests come in the mail over the next week or two), so we can take her everywhere.

Ok, so a story about the bananas and peanut butter: She used to just gobble up bananas and go crazy about them. Then, one day I was having bananas and peanut butter as a snack and I gave her a small piece with some peanut butter and she gobbled it right up. Later that day, Cody was eating a banana and he tried to give her some. Understand, we can never eat bananas without giving her some because she gets mad at us and is spiteful the rest of the day. As I said, spoiled. Anyways, she turned her head at him and came to me because she knows I'll put peanut butter on it. She is spoiled.

Have a fantastic day! I've got to go spoil her some more.

Mika's Friend // Lizard Visits

The other day, I was cleaning up in the house when I noticed Mika was on the front porch howling and super interested in this little creature.

It was a tailless lizard. She was way too interested in it, it was so cute.

There has been random sunny days, but mostly rainy days. This is what Florida does. Normally it's April Showers bring May flowers, but here it's been rainy the last week of April and so far into May. It keeps me inside and forces me to get stuff done, but it gives me cabin fever. It seriously takes me a day to have cabin fever. I can't stand it sometimes.

Mika 6 Months

Update: Mika is doing fantastic with pottying outside and actually telling us when she needs to go. Well, not exactly telling but letting us know in her own cute way. She now ways 25 lbs exactly (which is surprisingly small for a german shepherd her age-so we think she will be husky sized). It's amazing that she is six months old since we got her. 

Yesterday, she got fixed and she hasn't exactly been the happiest camper. I think this is the only happy moments we have had since we brought her back home yesterday. She has been sleeping and wimpering. It's very sad. The vet told us when we picked her up that every time they woke her up to check on her she would cry. I'm waiting for the next 9 days to be over with so she can be herself again.

 Leo wanted to be outside too(:

Mika's 6 Mo. Old

Our darling little lady is now 6 months old. It's crazy how time flies and how much bigger she has gotten. 

 When we got her, she fit in the palm of Cody's hand. She also learnt how to go to the bathroom on the potty grass pad from the pet store, that was awesome.

 She also didn't ever want to leave it.

 Currently, a bed hog, major begger, doesn't bark, fully potty trained, knows sit and lay down and still loves to cuddle. 

 Oh and she loves the dog park, and staying underneath our legs while we are there.

 She noticed I was taking photos, after this shot, she ran away.

Our lovely big girl. I adore her so much (:

Sundays

Today has been lax...

 Edamame is my new favorite snack. I put too much salt on them, put I love it that way. One of my good friends in high school got me hooked putting salt on a lot of different things.

 I can't stand how big she is getting! Today, we went to the dog park. She wore herself out ridiculously. Kept running and wrestling, I love that about her. I want to take her there more.

Always desiring the sun. He is the best cat ever. Seriously. I love him.

Hope your Sunday was great! This week we are going out of town to Cody's mom's house. I'm super excited about it.
