Shayna continues to be the baby of our family! She adores her people, especially our kids and is the queen of frisbee toss. Shay pitches a mean fast ball tossing it to us when she wants to play. For 3 years she has filled our lives with unconditional love and fun!! She is getting ready for her 4th trip to northern Michigan this summer where she is an avid swimmer and beach enthusiast!!

Adopted July 21, 2001 Belle (renamed Shayna by her new family)
