Happy 2nd Birthday, Kiska!

August 9, 2019 10 Comments

How oh how is Miss Kiska two already? It feels like yesterday that we were giving her bath after bath to remove the fleas from her. I still remember my stomach churning when I saw the massive amount of them by her eyes.

I never thought this little fluff nugget would become my service dog. She amazes me every day with her skills. Between gluten detection and blood pressure alerts, she helps me in numerous ways.

So, let’s take a look back at some puppy pictures! You can never go wrong there, right?


The first picture I got with this nugget. I fell in love with her instantly. I think a part of me always knew I wasn’t going to let her go.

Adorable Great Pyrenees puppy

She adored this Kong toy, but mostly used it as a headrest.

She was seriously one of the cutest nappers, ever.

Always with the blep!

I worked in a dog-friendly office, so she got to go to work with me. Hard to believe she ever fit on the front seat of my car!

She didn’t do the frog pose often, but she did, I couldn’t handle the cuteness.

The best trio photo I got in Kiska’s early days.

Yes, I put her in pajamas. What’s cuter than a puppy in pajamas?

Her favorite place to sleep was in the coffee table.

Sometimes, she forgot to climb all the way in the coffee table though.

She didn’t always nap in the most comfortable positions.

But she did always choose the most comfortable places. My pillow was her favorite place to sleep at night.

Anyone else obsessed with puppy paws?!

She definitely had quite the sass from day one.

Mauja and Atka warmed up to her fairly quickly!

She was always grumpy post-bath. But come on, how cute?

And she gravitated toward the warmest areas when she was little.

Kiska: Great Pyrenees 5 Months

January 8, 2018 9 Comments

Watch our Great Pyrenees puppy, Kiska, as she grows!

Our little Great Pyrenees puppy is 5 months! I can’t believe it. Time is flying – they grow far too fast. I did delete a few questions that I’ve been answering every month (like potty training questions) because they are no longer relevant.

I wonder if I’ll be able to pick her up next month… 😉

Kiska: Great Pyrenees 12 Weeks

November 4, 2017 4 Comments

Watch our Great Pyrenees puppy, Kiska, as she grows!

12 weeks. 12 weeks! How is that possible?! Little one is almost 3 months old in and full on puppy terror mode. She especially likes being naughty after already told no – “you didn’t want me to grab this? Okay, I’ll drop it and grab it again!”

She’s lucky she’s cute 😉

Kiska has made a lot of training progress this past week and I can’t wait to see how she continues to grow.

Weight: 21.8 pounds

Height at withers:  16.5 inches

Length (shoulders to base of tail):  18 inches

Favorite treat: Orijen Regional Freeze-Dried Treats

Favorite chew: Thin, curled bully sticks

Favorite thing to chew: Cords! Especially to my heated blanket…

Favorite toy: Toys that “crinkle” (still the favorite after all these weeks)

Waking up at night?: Usually one time, many nights not at all

Accidents in the house?: None! She’s been great at running out if the door is open or asking to go out.

Skills learned: Learning “lap” for deep pressure therapy and building on “place”.

New experiences: Actually tussled and played with Atka!

Naughty habit: Putting her paws up on the coffee table and stealing the dish towels from the kitchen.

Victories: Playing well with Atka and learning when Mauja isn’t interested in playing – she finds something else to do rather than pester her.

Kiska: Great Pyrenees 8 Weeks

October 8, 2017 7 Comments

Watch our Great Pyrenees puppy, Kiska, as she grows!

Puppies, especially Great Pyrenees puppies, grow faster than weeds – I’m pretty sure you can see them grow by the hour. Since they grow so quickly, I thought it would be fun to track Kiska’s growth, both physical and developmental, each week.

I’m a bit behind this week, but check back every Wednesday for Kiska’s growth update!

We’ve been gradually reducing the dosage, and today, he had his first trim with ZERO drugs and ZERO growling 🙌🙌
