The life of a pure bred German Shepherd who started out as an itty-bitty-baby-puppy-dog as shown through pictures. Shadow is my very first dog and I am very proud of him despite his naughty and mischievous behaviour.Tumblr (3.0; @squ3akers)http://squ3akers.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/509775a33efc12ce516ce74d135a4720/tumblr_mm731fl23s1r2x600o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/af44c69757dd4594f264c38928fed21c/tumblr_mm731fl23s1r2x600o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f0ef98377f6728d6cc200cc3054a68bc/tumblr_mm731fl23s1r2x600o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d4f2978410f00969099c54fc671d6ec4/tumblr_mm731fl23s1r2x600o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/936b0ab75d0f9081ac81da6c7baa2d3a/tumblr_mm731fl23s1r2x600o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/cee308229dbfaca23aa85db13cb7be84/tumblr_mm731fl23s1r2x600o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>May 2nd, 2013</p> <p>It was finally nice enough to play a lot outside. Warm enough to play with the hose for the first time this year as well. Shadow loves chasing the stream of water and getting his face soaked. He’s quite the over dramatic actor too when it’s time to go inside the house.. </p>http://squ3akers.tumblr.com/post/49471044975http://squ3akers.tumblr.com/post/49471044975Thu, 02 May 2013 19:39:15 -0400gsdshadowgerman shepherd<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0cd33a07140788c2fb55c9635d91c00e/tumblr_mlbvguqrq61r2x600o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/76fc0a2cdec06ca56ee217ddc4538fca/tumblr_mlbvguqrq61r2x600o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>April 15th, 2013</p> <p>Shadow is two years old!

He will be frequenting Petco’s self-grooming over the course of the winter since he clogs the drains at home with fur… He loves the car ride there and especially loves the car ride back home! He has been nicknamed “Pumpkin” for the time being due to his ‘pumpkin spice’ after coat smell, gifted from Petco. :)  Winter is coming and walks by the river are a lot more boring without ducks and geese to chase away.</p>http://squ3akers.tumblr.com/post/35080602368http://squ3akers.tumblr.com/post/35080602368Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:19:04 -0500GSDgerman shepherdshadow<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_magkl1Vhkc1r2x600o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_magkl1Vhkc1r2x600o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_magkl1Vhkc1r2x600o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>September 14th, 2012</p> <p>Shadow being his typical ‘mother-hen’ self.</p>http://squ3akers.tumblr.com/post/31678726428http://squ3akers.tumblr.com/post/31678726428Sun, 16 Sep 2012 15:53:25 -0400GSDshadowgerman shepherd<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maazuhg8TU1r2x600o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maazuhg8TU1r2x600o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maazuhg8TU1r2x600o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maazuhg8TU1r2x600o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maazuhg8TU1r2x600o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maazuhg8TU1r2x600o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maazuhg8TU1r2x600o7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maazuhg8TU1r2x600o8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>September 13th, 2012</p> <p>We finished putting sod in our backyard before the first frost hit.

We’ve been to the vet several times for all of the itching and other symptoms. Since the vet seems to think it’s food allergies he is now eating Natural Balance Duck and Potato blend. No food colouring, preservatives, soy, wheat, corn, chicken, or any of the other top allergens. Hopefully he will feel better soon. We’ve also added fish oil supplements to his diet which he doesn’t much care for. Then again, I’ve never known anyone to enjoy massive pills in the morning.</p>http://squ3akers.tumblr.com/post/30700193395http://squ3akers.tumblr.com/post/30700193395Sat, 01 Sep 2012 23:12:00 -0400GSDgerman shepherd<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7271lJxDj1r2x600o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7271lJxDj1r2x600o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7271lJxDj1r2x600o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7271lJxDj1r2x600o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7271lJxDj1r2x600o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7271lJxDj1r2x600o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>July 12th, 2012</p> <p>Dad’s bike tire wore out from all of his bike riding this spring/summer, so Shadow took it upon himself to turn the worn out rubber into a new toy. He doesn’t know quite how to run with it since it keeps getting caught on his back legs, so when he does walk it ends up being in a diagonal line in the wrong direction. Also, he still hasn’t given up the husk of a soccer ball despite getting a new one and football to play with. He recently require a little sister too. An Ocicat named Spirit. He’s a little mother hen and won’t leave her alone. They nit-pick each other a lot when they aren’t sleeping on the bed at night.</p>http://squ3akers.tumblr.com/post/27061280791http://squ3akers.tumblr.com/post/27061280791Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:53:45 -0400GSDgerman shepherd<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m61uuvTCWU1r2x600o1_250.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m61uuvTCWU1r2x600o2_250.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m61uuvTCWU1r2x600o3_250.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>June 2012</p> <p>Some photos I got from my mum’s cellphone.
