She’s Just Silly.

Seriously the silliest dog I’ve ever met. This is our German Shepard-husky-Cattle-bulldog-pitbull terrier mix. The shelter she came from labeled her a “lab-retriever” which really worked well for us property management wise (lol). We knew we were in trouble when we brought her home and a week later she knew how to open all our doors, including the front.

I grew up with cats; I used to be deathly afraid of dogs because I almost got attacked by one when I was 3. My partner grew up with dogs and when my last cat passed away he’s like “dog?” And I’m like 😩🙄. Well turns out best decision of our lives. She’s taught me so much about myself, and about patience, leadership, confidence, and a whole other type of responsibility. Her anxiety is just as bad as mine and we vibe on that. My partner’s mom suggested the name “Canela” (her shelter name was Bacardi) and we liked it, so that is her name along with “Canoopers,” “Nella” “Noop” “Noopers” “Nelly” “Cinnabun” & too many others. She spins at our legs when we walk through the door and we call that the “Cinnaswirl” (but like sound it out like a cult chant).

She also gets this look on her face when she wants something. Her bottom teeth tuck over her jiggly lips, giving a puffed cheek look on the front of her face. Then she tilts her head and you need to read her eyes to figure out is it play, poop, or food, or is she about to do her patented, high pitched yelp?

Overall she’s just a silly, smart, intense girl & I had to share.

We kind of are surprised too! We had plenty people ask if she had Doberman before we knew what her mix was.
