The Puppies are born!

Mama Dallas whelped 8 healthy pups early on Monday 6/29/09. 6 Girls and 2 Boys.

A Big Rock

Found this big 6 foot tall rock that Danzig jumped right onto while we were out for a walk.

I remember when he was little I would try and convince him to climb onto rocks so I could take a cute picture like I saw others posting on the SSDCA SSF forum.

I guess he's just telling me he's all grown up now a dumb rock isn't scary anymore.

What a smart Shiloh he is huh!

A walk on the 4X4 Trail

We went for a walk on the Tahuya 4X4 Trail when we were over in the Belfair area for a bike race.

The place was deserted which was great for us explorers. It would have been fun to see some rigs navigating some of the technical rocks piles though.

Danzig bounded all over the place.

Going Topless

It was a nice day so we decided to take a ride in the Jeep with the top down.

Danzig loves car rides but the faster we went the flatter his ears became. All that extra wind resistance must have tickled.

He was a super good boy and we had a great time.

Herding my new toy

Danzig had a blast playing with the remote control Jeep today.

He was herding it all around the yard, just like it was a sheep.

It was a hoot to see him sneak around the back side and nip at it's rear bumper.

Here he's seconds away from a successful catch.

Would have been a fun video, I'll have to think of that next time before the battery dies.

The Worlds Largest...

Last weekend we headed to the Quinault Rain Forest in search of the Worlds Largest Spruce tree. It's about 1,000 years old, 191 feet tall and over 58 feet in circumfrence.

And look what we found.

Tree hugger :)

There were so many beautiful sights along the way.

Cuddlers

No words needed :)

Sleepy Shiloh

It was over 80 and sunny all day so what do Shiloh's do? They play of course. Look, someones getting sleepy.

And now he's sound asleep

What an angel

Still sleeping

Wow, must have been a really fun day for this Washington Shiloh Shepherd.

Fun in the sun

It was a beautiful sunny day and we were doing yard work and hanging out in the yard all day.

Daddy's boy

I was inside the house and looked outside and saw my two boys playing in the yard.

Can you tell which is the brat?

It's quite a special bond they have and I love to watch them together. Shiloh's make such loyal and lovable companions

What a great addition to the family Danzig is.

Cute boy in the woods

I was at a picnic with some friends and while we ate I tied Danzig to a tree nearby in the woods. I looked over and saw this cute boy visiting him.

I was actually fairly far away, the camera is fully zoomed in.

Most adults are fearful when they 1st see Danzig, but kids typically just run up without hesitation.

I thought these would make a cute addition to the dog blog.

More Letterboxing adventures

Hiking with some friends at Lewis and Clark State Park in Winlock, Wa. This lovely park is located near Centralia and is loaded with fun trails and letterboxes.

Danzig rests after a long day of hiking.
Here is my friend Ruth and Danzig saying hi to some girls on a walking trail near Sea-Tac. This park is also known as runway park as it's located directly under the flightpath into the airport. It can get quite loud at times when multiple jumbo jets fly over so watch out. I wondered how Danzig would react to the plane noise but I didn't need to worry as he hardly seemed to notice.

The 2 girls were quite taken with Danzig and he loved the attention.
