Here’s Isla at just over 13 months. She continues to make great gains with each passing week and is a real joy to have around: in the home, the yard, and in the bush. Still a bit mischievous on occasion, but her drive, skill, and ability to learn far outweigh the occasional mischievous behavior (nothing major, just the usual pup goofiness). She definitely has a firm personality though, which I really like. For example, when she thinks it’s time to shut down the household for the night (every night), she’ll come to the TV room and stand in front of us (for as much as 5-10 minutes) and make funny little noises as if to say “turn off the TV, it’s time for my beauty sleep!”. HA! Of course, we just ignore and send her off to do something other than discipline us… otherwise she’ll end up owning the household… if I could only teach her to make a meal and do yard work!
Cheers!
