(*WHERE did MY dog go!? - 12 pics/1video*)

[Kfamr]

You know that one dog - Kiara , that I always mention is really shy, skiddish, barks at everyone? You know, the one that many of you have met and witnessed such already?
Well, where did she go? Has anyone seen her? Because all I have is this dog who let anyone touch her at the beach tonight, let anyone throw her frisbee, and let one of my brother's friends who the dog has seen once or twice for a short while, touch her and cuddle with her within minutes of my brother's friend being in the house.

Who's dog is this!?
I'm so incredibly proud of my baby girl. I want to cry. She's grown so much and has been doing so wonderfully. So much more sociable, it's wonderful!!

Ready for the beach, mom!

She's soooo beautiful! It's great to hear that she's becoming more accepting of everything and isn't as shy anymore:)

[Suki Wingy]

Oh, Ki, your pictures get more stunning everytime! You are such a good girl!

[Ginger's Mom]

She really does look so happy. You have done a great job with her. I think she really likes this new beach. :)

[anna_66]

Sounds like your getting over that shyness of yours girl! Maybe next time I see you, I'll get to cuddle too:D

Kay your right, she is skinny. I don't think I would have realized just how much weight she has lost since you got that swimming pool for her if we hadn't been talking about it.

I can see that too especially in the first pics. Anyone want to buy me a swimming pool so I can get skinny too? ;)

I'm glad to hear Kiara is being such a good girl! She was definitely one to bark and be cautious about strangers, though it didn't take long for her to let me pet her. :) Do you want to come and tell Nebo he doesn't have to be a chicken anymore either? I took him to Petsmart today...he gave a few people kisses but wouldn't let anyone touch him. :rolleyes:

[K9karen]

I think Ki looks tremendous! Muscular and fit! She's beautiful!
Kudos to you Kay! You've done a wonderful job of socializing and training her! I feel the same about Klo with strangers and other dogs. She's changed dramatically too! It's the love, patience and devotion. Remember, when we adopt them we have no clue what issues they have or what they've been through. Give yourself a big pat on the pack for doing such a wonderful job with all your dogs! They sure do know how to make us proud, don't they! Smooches on all of them from Auntie K9. BTW, the 1st shot of Kia, with the ear back and huge smile is too cute for words!

GOOD GIRL KIKI!!!! I remember what she was like when I met her. Wow! That's so great :) Way to go little girlie :)

[cloverfdx]

Woohoo what wonderful news, i always happy to see great pupdates :D. Kay you have done a realy great job with Kiara, she looks a picture of health and happiness.

I love all of the photos.

[RobiLee]

Oh Kay, thats wonderful news. I know how good that must make you feel. Kiara is stunning. I know I've told you before but she looks like pure muscle. I always love seeing your little girl.:)

[Lobodeb]

Kay, can you please send Ki to Chicago? She is such a sweetie. Not to mention beautiful. Sweet, smart, beautiful? There's so few of us who've got it all. j/k

Nala, it's ok, you're a very pretty girl too. I'll give you snuggles any time!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Oh Kay, Kiara is sucha stunning dog!! What breed is she?
Those pics on the beach are so special :)

[luvofallhorses]

Aww, Kiara is such a pretty girl and I am glad she is coming around and isn't as shy anymore!! :) I loved the video!! :)

[Dixieland Dancer]

Congratulations to Kiara and Kay! She couldn't of become the little social butterfly she has without all your hard work, Kay! :D

[Kfamr]

Thanks everyone. :)

Do you guys think she's TOO skinny? I can feel her bones and such, but she's always eaten a ton and we've given her quite a bit more food than we used to. I can put my hands around her waist and pick her up with one arm. :o Her muscles are HUGE though, I mean huge. She looks like a weight lifter and my mom constantly jokes that she's looking for the weight room. :P


I've always just assumed because of all that swimming and she's built a high metabolism.



Lut, We don't really know for sure. :) We've always been told hse's either a Rottie (originally what her papers said) or a Doberman mix. She certainly has the markings, but she is a tiny, tiny dog.

Fantastic pictures, Kay! Kiara is just stunning!

[K9karen]

Kay, I guess, like humans, their body structures and weights differ. How lucky she is to be able to eat tons and look so fabulous! Believe me, it's so tough to put a dog on a diet! Klo gained 8 pounds since I got her, but unlike Cody, isn't interested in food, she just matured. As long as Ki is healthy, i wouldn't give it a second thought. She gets a lot of excercise don't forget! All your dogs look great!

[gemini9961]

Look at her go, woohoo Ki!! Great pics Kay. I think she looks beautiful.

[Lexi_Lover]

Those are some really amazing pictures Kiara! :D You look gorgeous in the sunset! And you seemed to have turned into a REAL love bug, it seems you've also passed this wonderful thing over to us too! Lexi was SO good with the dogs and people while collecting pledges the other day!

Ki, you really are BOO-TIFUL!
