This little girl is now 8 1/2 years old! She is full of zest, bubbly, extremely social and LOVES to play! Working at anything is not quite her specialty you could say unless majorly encouraged. I tell Don she is lucky that so far she is pretty naturally bright or we could have problems.
She has her chore list that she completes every day and that assures me that the work to assure a sense of responsibility is getting done every day without nagging.
With that sweetness comes a VERY strong hard head! It is about this age that they begin to think they have all the answers and what does mommy and daddy really know.
She LOVES her siblings and family as well her dogs. Gypsy is still like a puppy although technically being 13 years old. She was thrilled this past weekend when we decided to go to the Wildlife Expo downtown. It is more of a dog show of sorts with everyone bringing their dogs. She was the definite caretaker and loved prancing her around with everyone asking if they could pet her. We decided with the SC state dog in hand, Juliette could be the poster girl for the expo next year 🐶!
Juliette thought that Gypsy was interested in the dog training show..... Her interest was close to zero until a gun went off for the training.... before I know it she has jumped into my arms. I have said it several times but truly that puppy is lucky she landed with us or she would long ago been given away by a hunter 😝!
Gypsy was about as interested in the show as she was visiting with the thousands of people passing her by.... I mean she literally closed her eyes to take a nap as the people walked over and by her.
The ride home was quite quiet as all three were sound asleep!
Juliette still loves creativity and the arts! Here she has sketched an outfit for her American girl and and then took the mannequin and created a bathing suit wrap that she had envisioned... she loves to play the piano and still loves to dance!
She is our only little girl and a very special gift to us!
