| Summer and Thor took to the new puppy instantly although this time it was Thor's turn to be totally enthralled with the new arrival. Well, Summer had already 'been there, done that' with Thor when he first joined us. As far as Summer was concerned the new arrival was great to play with but she was quite happy to let Thor take the brunt of Kira's cheeky puppy behaviour, and boy did she call that one correctly! |  |

Kira was an absolute terror, taking all sorts of liberties with Thor - biting his toes and ears and stealing his treats at every opportunity she got. Thor wouldn't do anything to tell her off, in his eyes she could do no wrong, so what if it sometimes hurt when she bit his toes, she was only playing and it was him she had chosen to play with so that was fine by him. After a couple of months as she grew bigger and stronger, (she had even started trying to drag him across the patio by his tail while he was led down). He finally accepted that this little girl had to be taught that this was not the way to treat your older brother. Don't worry though, he did this in his typically nice way, by growling at her and occasionally snapping , (whilst always being very careful to never actually make contact), just to prove to her that he could if he wanted to, so she had better behave. And it worked! |
| Being out numbered by the girls didn't bother Thor one bit, in fact, he absolutely revelled in having the two girls to chase him around the garden. |  |

| It's not enough just to be in the water, she also likes to dunk her face in too |
Kira prefers it when the water is deep enough for a swim but failing that a paddle will do | Wet, muddy and so happy! |
 |
 |
| Cuddles - although
suspiciously most often with those people she finds holding a cup of tea |
Kira simply loves sharing a good cup of tea. Perhaps it's because she is a biscuit & white Sammie, after all, biscuits and tea do go together! |

 |
| playing with the other dogs | woofing (as most Sammies do!) |
 |
 |
| playing with us and her toys | chomping on a nice juicy bone! |
 |
| Sucking on & cuddling her Flopsie Bunny toy. All of our Sams have chosen one special toy each that they never play with but just love to save to suck on (just like they did when drinking milk from their Mum when they were babies) when resting. None of the Sibes have developed this habit yet... It is so sweet to see them! |

 |
| Lying in the flower beds |
Well, part of her KC registered name is Snowflower! |
 |
 |
| This was meant to be our patio table for our drinks etc but Kira decided that it was much better put to use as a nice airy platform for her to relax on | snoozing on the sofa |
 |
 |
| Kira is also rather partial to snoozing on the garden swing seat when the cushions are on it | Oh, sorry Kira, did we wake you Darling? |
 |
 |
| Kira absolutely loves water and swimming. She is wearing the doggie life vest just to lift her up higher in the water, so that the pool is then deep enough for her to swim in. | Kira and Solomon both looking a tad unkemp after a good play in the garden |
 |
 |
| Ha, ha, so true! | Kira getting to know Roksana |
 |
 |
| Lovely Kira | Lounging on their platforms in the garden |
 |
 |
| Kira loves to wash Sir Hopsalots ears for him | Which is something that Hops absolutely adores! |

| Kira celebrating her 12th Birthday with a lovely liver Birthday Cake complete with 12 Sausage Candles |
Mmmmmm, the doggie equivalent of blowing out the candles! |
