Ode to Kiara

The furry namesake for our blog had not gotten any attention on it for a long time despite being the cutest dog ever. Once the baby comes she probably never will so I thought I'd post some cute pictures now and tell you about Kiara's quirks.


* If we let her, Kiara would sleep under the covers with us at night. She loves to cuddle.











* Kiara is a super dog - from pulling sleds up hills to climbing trees, she does it all.












* She LOVES water!!!!















* Her nickname is 'Yaya' because my good friend Becca's youngest brother could not say her name and would always call her Yaya. When we came to visit he would say, "Where Yaya?" and get really upset if she wasn't with us.







* When Kiara drinks her water she always makes a huge mess partly because she just sticks her whole face in (see above).











* She loves sticks even when they're twice her size.













* If I tell Kiara "Go to Daddy" she will run to Mike and vice versa if he says "Go to Mommy."











* Mike started dressing Kiara in bandanas when she was a puppy and now you almost never see her without one on. She loves wearing "clothes."










* Kiara has this look that will melt your heart!
