Shelby @ 10 weeks.. and gettin' bigger!

She is growing by the day and we absolutely LOVE HER TO DEATH!! She is getting such a cute little personality and we can't wait for her to develop into a precious young girl. She loves, loves, loves to eat and will go and wait by the kitchen counter and look up like she is saying, "Feed me, momma!" She is learning so fast and is really smart (when she wants to be)! She walks great on a leash and sleeps through the night. She passes out every night at 8:00 on the dot and you cannot wake her up if you tried! We seriously thought she was dead at one point!!


Look at the belly! Shelby's Feeder for when she grows a little bit... We took her stitches out and the cup off of her head last night! Her ears look so good! My baby... she won't be like this for long :(
Smilin'
Her teeth are the cutest thing you have ever seen.. They look like little arrows



Laura and Shelby Bells :)




Why did we buy this wonderful bed and huge crate? So she can sleep on the floor! Duh!

Shelby arrives HOME!!!

We picked up Shelby yesterday and she is even more than I imagined she would be! She has the most beautiful face that can just melt you. She has the prettiest color coat and her ear crop looks amazing. I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but she is more and we love her soo much!! Chan gets to babysit today while I am at work, something which he was kinda nervous about at first. Shelby was kinda antsy yesterday when we got her home, constantly pacing the house looking for all of her brothers and sisters. She did good in the cage and hardly cried at all through the night. We did have a little accident in the cage right after she woke up from a nap but all accidents at this point are to be expected. I have posted several pics that we took through the day. It was Chan's birthday and he was such a good sport b/c we drove 11+ hours on his birthday!! I owe you BIG my darling :) Free massages for life!

We got to meet Shelby's mom, dad, littermates, Niah (her full sister from another litter, she's around 1 year old) and several other full grown danes from Ann's line. They are absolutely beautiful and I think we were both a little overwhelmed. There were dogs everywhere and it was mass chaos! Shelby has a sister living in Aiken, just down the road, so we are going to try and get with them sometime so they can play. Keep checking back for updated pics to watch her grow!

Play an hour, sleep an hour, play an hour...

Shelby @ 7 Weeks... Bigger by the Day!

Shelby is turning into quite a beautiful little darling! She looks like a lazy one among the bunch, which Chandler is very excited about. :) I have a very hard-working lazy husband!! He loves to work but loves to sleep, so maybe Shelby will be the same way - love to play and love to sleep! Here are some 7 week group pics.. let us know what you think!
