Dog sitting is a LOT of work y’all…a LOT, but this little sass-pot has been so much fun. She’s so curious!! And oh my…so full of energy?! . . We had German Shepherds all through my childhood. 3, actually. Love love LOVE them. They are so smart and eager to please…..unlike my Golden’s…who are total goof balls. . . She’s been such a special treat for me this week and I’m going to be a little sad to say “bye” to her tomorrow?. Despite the fact that she’s chewed up a backpack and a pair of Birkenstock’s ????.
