Why my dog is awesome

I had several parental expectations when I decided to take on a puppy 7 months ago. I wanted my new black lab to be the most well behaved, hardcore, social dog there ever was. Well, the more she grows, the more
I'm amazed at her social skills. This weekend, I had several different people over spending the night and such. Also spending the weekend downstairs was neighbor Steve's weimeraner, Ada. Calster woke me up several times throughout the night, once because she wanted to go sleep with Grace, and then again because she heard Ada went outside and this meant she should too. Every time someone spends the night, she forgets her bed in my room and HAS to sleep with whoever is on the couch. And if I won't let her, she wakes me up earlier than normal the next morning to go make sure they're still there. As inconvenient as her social life can be at times, I love this about her and I think it's what makes us a good combo. I could never have a dog that didn't like other people/dogs because I love people/dogs. It's really fun to watch her interact with other dogs because she demands their friendship, whether they're into it or not. This may get her in trouble one day. And while you're here, take a trip down memory lane and look at how cute she was the day I brought her home (see above). Can't decide if Cali or Savannah is the cuter one in this picture.
