Little Dog in a Big World

Misha, the shy, perky, lovable Jack Russell Terrier, turned 1 today.

Misha has been with my family since last July when she was just 9 weeks old.  Over that year, we’ve experience so much.  She has grown to a whopping 8 pounds and has developed quite a personality.

She is doing well with her dog training.  Though she has regressed some lately after a beloved family member passed away and a neighbor who played moved away all within the same week.  I work with her daily to help her get through this rough time.

She still has a lot of maturing to do.  Her shy, timid nature has created some challenges.  She isn’t nearly as fearful as she once was.  However, a sudden noise or a motorcycle passing us on our walk can bring her to shuddering.  Hopefully, with continued work, she’ll learn to be more trusting of the world.

Here’s my puppy.  Happy Birthday, Misha!

\So, Happy Birthday Misha!
