5 Months

Milano turned 5 months old on the 19th. Here are a few pictures of her, she's getting big!

Milano and Magic sleeping, so cute!

Magic's home and some visitors

Yesterday we went to San Francisco to pick up Magic! It was a road trip for Milano and she was very good, just relaxing in the car for the 4 hour round-trip. Milano passed out on the way home.



Akeelah and Hailey also came over for a sleep over. Akeelah is Shawn's puppy so Milano's half sister. She looks so much like Shawn and acts like her when she was younger. Akeelah was also chosen as a breeder for CCI. Hailey is 2 weeks older than Milano, they had a lot of fun playing together!

Introducing Reese

Here's Milano's friend Reese! She was rescued from the animal shelter last month. She's visiting while her mom is out of town. Reese is settling in, she's getting used to Milano and Shawn, at first she wasn't sure what to think of the dogs. She has a really cute hop when she runs, I'll try to get some videos of them later.

Milano at the Monarchs

Today was opening game for the Monarchs! Milano handled everything very well, she's definitely a 4 month old puppy that acts about 18 months. If she just knew the rest of the commands, she would be ready to turn in ;) Arco is a great place to socialize the puppies. The staff is awesome and most people know me around the arena and if I don't have a dog then I get asked where they are. Since last season I was on a break from puppy raising, people came up to me and said how nice it was to have a puppy in the arena again.

Milano ready for the game, bandana on and pass ready..

Milano in the family room before the game..

Milano at the seats, sleeping..awesome puppy!!...

Milano after the game, ready to go home..

After the game we waited at the practice facility to pick up Reese since the team is going on a road trip to Seattle today. Reese is staying with us until Monday, I'll try and get some pictures and videos of them. Reese is a rescued pound puppy :)

Milano at the horse races and work outs at the gym

Milano has been going out more and getting used to different environments. Over the weekend we went to Berkeley for the horse races. Milano was great, she didn't mind the crowds. There was yelling and cheering, people everywhere and different smells. Milano walked right next to me in a "heel". We went down and got a picture with the a jockey of a winning horse, he was so tiny and he loved Milano. He said something to her in Spanish.
Here's a picture of Milano at the horse races:

Milano has also been going with me to the gym. She hasn't gone yet when I've worked out, but we're working up to it. Today she laid by me when I stretched (and I need to stretch a lot ;) Milano just stayed in a "down".
Here's a picture of Milano on the way to the gym, she was being cute for Cass:
After I stretched we went into the Group X room to visit friends during their workout. Milano was hanging out on the floor until I released her and we started playing, she thought it was great. When she gets excited she she pounces up and down like Shawn. Next time I'll get some more pictures of Milano inside the gym.

And here's a picture of Milano's nights at home...she gets to relax :)
