We celebrated this sweet girls first birthday on July 18th! Her dad made pup cakes for her, we went on a hike, played all the games, and even got her a birthday present then later that evening her "friends" (actually our friends, but Yoshi loves their company) came over and sang her happy birthday while she tried to devour her pup cake in one swallow. Yoshi was one spoiled girl, but really I don't know when there is ever a time that she isn't spoiled rotten. I can't even believe that she is already a year old and that in 2 more months we will have had her for an entire year! What an incredible blessing she has been to us since joining our little family!
Here is a little puppy update to commemorate her 1st year of life since I've been terrible at getting on here to do it throughout the year. Actually HERE is the last update I posted if you wanna read it!
Yoshi now sleeps in her crate so well and some nights she'll actually just go to her crate and lay down without us even having to tell her to! She's been crate trained since about February which has been really nice and we get so much better sleep! Those first couple of months after we got her were rough, but once she started sleeping in her crate it was a complete game changer.
She is so much better with socialization which has been huge! In May, I found this group of people that meet up daily at the park by our apartment to have a doggie play date so that has really helped her with her socialization skills or at least with other dogs. She is still somewhat overprotective of me when other people approach and she just isn't too sure what to think so she barks at them.
She is as sweet as can be and has never bit us or anyone ever! She is so full of energy and likes for people to play with her, but she doesn't so much like to play by herself or at least at this point she's not content doing something by herself. She definitely wants to be center of attention at all times.
She weighs about 45lbs and is still the snuggliest puppy you'll ever meet. She loves to lay between our legs or in the small of our back or better yet right in between the two of us on the weekends when we let her get in some morning snuggles.
She is my little model girl and let's me take pictures of her with silly props and what not which is how I got this cute picture of her. She doesn't mind as long as she gets a treat afterwards.
I didn't know that dogs like to eat vegetables and fruits until we got Yoshi. Some of her favorite fruits and vegetables to eat include: carrots, celery, pineapple, watermelon, bananas, and apples. Of course, we only give them to her in moderation but she always gobbles them up so fast and it's so cute!
We just love her so much and we can't wait for all the fun the future will bring!
