Shadow Monday Faces of a good girl.

Shadow has been able to express herself since puppyhood.

Like the time Mommy introduced her to the computer.

And her first experience of snow.

And on into grownup-adult-puppyness.

Shadow has given us eight plus years of joy. We adopted her from a pet rescue entity, from which we learned her heritage. Shadow is 1/4 Border Collie 1/2 Blue Heeler plus parts of Husky, Golden Retriever and Austrian White Shepard.

Each Monday I put up a Shadow post here. Every Wednesday I post pix of our cat KC, which stands for KittyCat. I hope you enjoy their images.

got those big emotive eyes, but their visage implies wearing her heart on her "sleeve".
Bright, clear, unmistaken windows to her soul. Shadow has freely given Laurie and me more than eight years of joy.

I appreciate your PuppyDog enjoyment,

I love her pix in the snow, too. She looks as if she's saying "glad you figured out what I love."

My Shelties always loved the snow, too.
